Actively Promoting CultureTOP QUALITY EDUCATION PROGRAMSThe Chung Wah Kung Fu System promotes Chinese martial arts in Canada and throughout the world. Programs run a full spectrum from traditional martial arts, lion and dragon dancing, self-defense, to health and wellness and medical related topics. We’re continually developing and refining our programs.
Lion and Dragon DancingChung Wah’s teaching materials and programs have been incorporated into many training programs around the world. A keynote example is the Venezuelan National Law Enforcement Training Academy. The Ontario York Region School Board requested Master Lee to design special traditional Kung Fu and lion dancing programs for use in the Ontario education system curriculum! Currently, several schools in the Toronto area are training teachers in the new Kung Fu and lion dancing curriculum programs! Inter-scholastic lion dance exhibitions and competitions are expected developments within the next few years.

We wish to establish a major centre of study and research in North America, and to promote the value of martial arts as part of the education system. Our recent achievements have taken us a big step toward these goals!
MEDIA Our websites are still in the infancy stage but already contain a lot of information. We plan to develop these sites, working toward on-line instruction and martial arts equipment sales.

A recent honour included her majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Community and volunteer work is a significant opportunity to give something back to the community. Over the year, our teams do dozens and dozens of charity, community and multicultural performances and lion dances. ‘THIS IS KUNG FU’ PERFORMANCE SERIES For the past several years, we have produced, directed and performed a special ongoing performance series to educate the public called, ‘This is Kung Fu’.
