Grandmaster David Chin and Sifu Chris Heintzman
White Lion Kung Fu School will offer training in the demanding and highly effective art of Tibetan Hop Gar Kung Fu and Combat Tai Chi Push Hands as well as instruction in Qi Gong. Our goal is to give students the highest quality instruction in this highly effective and lethal martial art. The training demands students engage in hard conditioning of the entire body to ensure the effectiveness.
What is Kung Fu?
Kung Fu is a combat system that comes from China. Kung Fu contains training to handle armed and unarmed combat situations and can be used effectively in or out of the ring. Hop Gar (Knight Style) is an Ape and Crane, long and short fist system from Tibet that migrated into China. Hardening the body through traditional conditioning methods and power training with Mok Yee Pai (Wooden Ear Plate) weights is a must to bring out the true effectiveness of this kung fu. Hop Gar is a highly aggressive system that lends itself perfectly to the modern war fighter’s need to stay on his feet and keep moving forward. We only go to the ground if the situation dictates and/or puts you in the most advantageous position. The primary goal is to finish the fight quickly using lethal or minimal force.
Why Do Hop Gar Kung Fu?
Strength, Speed, Dexterity
Just to name a few of the benefits that come from practicing the traditional Hop Gar kung fu system. The mind and body conditioning that come from training Hop Gar are second to none. Our winning MMA record and performance of soldiers down range is testament to the effectiveness of Hop Gar.
Preparation for Street, CQB, and Ring
When training at White Lion Kung Fu you’ll add tools to your arsenal that will serve you well around town, running missions down range, or competing in a ring. No, competing in a ring and war zone combat scenarios are not the same, but tools you learn in one area can enhance understanding and capabilities in another area. Training is dominated by a stay on your feet to fight philosophy.
Qi Gong – Mind Training
At White Lion Kung Fu we stress intense mental conditioning as well as physical. Often times the difference between surviving or not is the ability to maintain the mental focus. When a confrontation occurs, the ability to instantly let the predator loose is crucial and qi gong training is integral to enhancing this ability.
