Our traditional lion and dragon dancing class preserves this important cultural art, and the team is available to book for events.

Lion and dragon dancing are among the oldest living traditions we carry. Hung Fut Kung Fu and the techniques used in lion dancing are closely intertwined, and we teach the authentic, traditional Hung Fut methods passed to us from Grandmaster Yim.
