Golden Lion teaches the traditional martial arts of Yang style Tai Chi Chuan and Choy Li Fut (Cai Li Fo). Tai Chi Chuan is an internal training art that helps reduce mental fatigue, lowers blood pressure, and increase flexibility. Under the Tai Chi Chuan umbrella, forms, meditation, Qigong, push hands and applications are practiced. Choy Li Fut is a Southern Shaolin style kung fu that helps build body strength and coordination. In addition to fundamental training, many traditional weapons (i.e. staff, broadsword, trident, fan, spear, chainwhips) are taught here. This renowned kung fu system is suitable for all ages and body types.

Today, parents can work out at our state-of-the-art gym, while watching their kids through the giant windows. We welcome families that work out together. You are not just joining a bay area martial arts institution with a unique and successful methodology, you are joining with other families in a mission to build a thoughtful community. Our legacy is built on the principle that a community that strives together, thrives together.
