This summer program includes instruction in free Kung Fu, Lion Dance, Dragon Dance, Mandarin Language and African Drumming. 

Children on Fridays will go on field trips in the DC region. Thursdays will emphasize a technology subject.

Please consider making a donation.

With low overhead and a small staff, donations go a long way at Hung Tao Choy Mei Leadership Institute. They go to the children's programs.

Each contribution allows us to create and teach programs like the Summer Camp Flight School. In that program, a licensed and experienced pilot taught our Kung Fu summer students how to fly on professional level flight trainers. Experience on those trainers was logged for each student and qualifies as experience for a pilot's license.

Kung Fu

Submitted by HTCMLI on Fri, 12/16/2022 - 00:50

Hung Tao Choy Mei teaches children and adults fitness, focus, and self-defense. Kung Fu training requires no equipment, just hard work and a focused mind.

We teach Jow Ga Kung Fu to adults of all ages, for short or long stretches of time. We understand that adults have demanding work schedules, and go out of town, have looming deadlines, or are passing through on assignment. We have classes weekdays and weekends, but you practice when you can. Our rates are low and we have no contract. We ask only that when you come you work hard.

Self-Defense

It is said that there are two things you train in martial arts: the 'seen', and the 'unseen'. 

Sometimes it is described as external and internal energy, or strength/power and chi. But let's keep it simple, because it is challenging to train that which you cannot see. The simple answer is that self-defense takes hard work over time.
