martial arts through our unique Fu Hok Tai He Morn system of

traditional martial art, and we will provide suitable

Our
traditional
systems contain forms - postures linked together with transitions that are the "text books" of martial arts and
the means of preserving and passing knowledge from one generation to another.
Our core curriculum focuses on learning forms, and we offer
numerous traditional sets for training. We
provide sequential
instruction to build knowledge gradually, and to improve timing and coordination of extremities.
Forms are taught not only through imitation, trying to gain a certain look, but through the awareness of body alignment and postures
gained through an understanding of the execution in its practical
sense.
We strive for
authenticity in our training, retaining the techniques and philosophy of
the ancient Chinese traditions. Through our research and numerous years of
teaching experience, we have developed a
systematized method of training to allow the best opportunity for our students to
achieve.

Our
Fu Hok Tai He Morn training method focuses on the use of natural strength generated by whole body integration.
Natural means using the least amount of strength and finding the right position
in which the body is best designed to function. This makes use of the innate physical attributes
that we each possess and eliminates injuries that can result from rigid
execution. We find the naturalness in our positions generated by all major joints and
ligaments;
coordinated with timing. This training technique improves circulation, develops efficiency of movement, and
generates
superior power and energy. Ultimately, our training enhances awareness of body
mechanics, promotes inner peace, and creates a path for higher thinking. Benefits carry over into other
aspects of daily activities ranging from better performance in sports and other disciplines,
enhanced ability for problem-solving, or simply keeping a central
equilibrium in our stride.

| We
believe that the key to well being is when both body and mind
are stimulated by new awareness. We provide clear and open
instruction to facilitate progress. Our method involves both
physical movement in synchronization with mental focus. We
consider this active meditation, a state that is achieved
naturally through our training.
Learning is as much an art as the discipline
itself. Through gradual accumulation of knowledge from a
qualified source, and a
goal of self-cultivation, one is able to achieve. With proper
guidance, advanced
skill is attainable
through the process of refinement, a discovery of one's
limitations and overcoming them through practice. Mastery
comes when both the body and mind learn the martial arts
principles.
We believe
that anyone can learn through our method, and we provide a
supportive environment to ensure growth. Individuals progress at their own pace, and
children are not advanced with their own age group, but rather their own comfort
and skill level.

was
founded by
Kwong Tit-Fu from Guangzhou, Guangdong province of China. The
words are a composite for three systems mastered by the late
founder - Shaolin Hung Gar Fu Hok, Wu Tai Chi and Mu Dong Yat
Hei Ngm Hahng Morn.
The systems are left intact, maintaining
traditional form sequences, and each system is taught in a
separate program. We focus on the universal principles and concepts
found in the higher levels of each traditional system. The systematic
approach of the ancient training methods has been preserved and
integrated with modern concepts, allowing practitioners to learn and
progress. Our training method abides by sound martial arts theory that
has been tested through time to produce greater enhancements in
execution and depth of understanding.
