Chinese Kung-Fu, Wu-Su Association has been part of New York’s martial arts tradition since 1967, carrying forward the teaching legacy established by Grandmaster Alan Lee. Its identity is rooted in traditional Chinese Kung Fu and Wu-Su, taught with a strong sense of lineage, discipline, and continuity. That long history gives the school a distinctly grounded character: classical instruction remains central, but the training is organized in a way that supports consistent progress for contemporary students. At the heart of the academy is a structured curriculum designed to develop skill steadily over time.
Technique, conditioning, and performance are taught as connected parts of a larger progression, with formal ranking used to mark advancement and maintain standards. Experienced instructors guide students through that process with an emphasis on technical development rather than hurried achievement, reinforcing both the physical and disciplined aspects of martial arts study. The school serves a broad range of students, including children, adults, and complete beginners, and its programming reflects that range without losing coherence.
Practical self-defense is taught alongside traditional training, allowing students to engage both the classical foundations of the art and its applied value. The academy’s schedule, which includes weekday and weekend classes in both morning and evening as well as dedicated children’s sessions, supports regular practice as an ongoing discipline rather than an occasional activity. That sense of openness is also part of the association’s heritage.
Grandmaster Alan Lee’s early commitment to sharing this knowledge across cultural boundaries continues to shape the school’s teaching ethos and community presence. Open houses and exhibition events extend that spirit, creating opportunities to encounter the school’s methods and meet its masters in a direct, accessible way. More than five decades of uninterrupted operation have refined Chinese Kung-Fu, Wu-Su Association into a serious, organized training environment—one that preserves traditional forms and values while delivering practical, structured instruction for students at many stages of life and experience.
