Chiu Mo Kwoon

I am a current student at this school. Chiu Mo Kwoon is a very traditional Kung Fu school that emphasize the development of the whole martial artist. Grandmaster Winchell Woo and the instructors are dedicated to help develop the each student according to their strengths and needs. I highly recommend the school for children as well as adults looking to learn traditional Lam family Hung Gar kung fu.

I have been attending CMK since early 2012 and have found the experience to be very enjoyable. The things I like most about this school are:
— the direct lineage and instruction from Sifu Woo. He is an incredibly well respected martial artist and represents a direct line to the origins of the style. He often comes on Sundays and will give pointers and/​or provide direct instruction. He is generous with his time and genuinely wants to teach you the art.
— the instructors — all the instructors are volunteers and have day jobs outside of practice. This makes them very approachable
— the relaxed environment — the school is not pushy from a sales perspective. Just pay the reasonable monthly dues and you can attend as many classes as you want. There are no additional seminars to sign up for or hidden fees, which unfortunately you may find in other schools.
— the sense of community — oftentimes instructors and students will go out for food after class or get together outside of school

I’ve been coming here since 2008 and I am glad I go to this school. Chiu Mo Kwoon has been a great community and a great place to learn more about the culture and art of kung fu. It’s a place that really emphasizes learning and family, as everyone is treated like family after awhile, like another reviewer wrote.
Sifu Winchell Woo is extremely knowledgeable and with his depth of experience, he’s able to make kung fu practical and apply it to real life situations. The emphasis on real life applications and internal development/​qigong is what keeps me continuously interested in kung fu and my personal development.
PROS:
— Focuses on your entire development as a person as well as in martial arts
— emphasis on real life applications
— all instructors and grandmaster Winchell Woo are extremely approachable
— keeps me in great shape
— close to public transportation/​highway
— Great friends
CONS:
— Wish the space was a little bigger

I’ve been attending this school since 2006 and I love this place.
This place teaches traditional kung fu and qigong. A really nice place to learn the culture and the art. Grandmaster Woo is a great person to learn from. He’s extremely nice and will teach you everything as long as you’re willing to learn
After awhile, everyone here is treated like family.

I have been attending this school for about 5 years now. I have found the quality of instruction here to be top notch. Grandmaster Winchell P.C. Woo and all the instructors really care about the quality of what is taught to the students. This school is not about making money, but about continuing the lineage that Grandmaster holds and about building the school itself up to share the benefits that Hung Gar Kung Fu and Grandmaster’s Taichi can impart.
This school has become like my family and I am glad to say I am a part of it.
