It doesn’t matter what style of Kung-Fu one might choose to learn, as it takes many years to master one style and represent it well. There is a famous Chinese proverb that says “What is important to understand about all styles of Kung-Fu is that they belong to one big family in harmony.”

We owe our deepest respect to the late Grand Master Lum Jo, whose life time involvement in Hung-Gar has given the current generation of Hung-Gar Masters around the world, an opportunity and honor to pass on this ancient Kung-Fu knowledge to the future generations to come.
