North Sky Kung Fu is rooted in the Ying Jow Pai tradition, also known as Northern Eagle Claw Kung Fu, and brings that lineage into a broader practice that includes Tai Chi and Qigong. The school’s teaching is tied to Grandmaster Leung Shum, from whom its founders acquired the system, giving the training a clear connection to a respected martial arts tradition rather than a generalized fitness approach. Its instruction spans both group and private classes, with an emphasis that reaches beyond technique alone.
Self-defense is part of the work, but so are health, balance, awareness, and physical conditioning. That wider philosophy shapes the school’s view of kung fu as a lifestyle: a discipline built on focus and consistency, where martial training supports fitness and personal steadiness as much as combative skill. Experience is a defining part of the school’s identity.
North Sky describes a teaching background informed by more than 45 years of martial arts study, along with extensive competition and performance experience across hundreds of tournaments and championships in North and South America. That depth suggests a practice led by long immersion in the art, with the ability to transmit both its technical demands and its broader discipline. The setting reinforces that seriousness.
North Sky maintains a studio designed for martial arts, with a spacious and bright environment suited to sustained practice. Whether through the striking and grappling traditions of Eagle Claw, the measured movement of Tai Chi, or the health-oriented cultivation of Qigong, the school brings together martial rigor and mindful training in a way that treats body, attention, and discipline as inseparable.
