  I started with an interested in the art of Kung fu and it took me in a whole new direction in life .... Yee's Hung Ga teaches traditional Hung Ga Kung fu ... this is a real school that teaches a real style of Kung Fu. I have a lot of great things to say about the school and Sifu Joseph Demundo ... I suggest trying out a class for yourself and see if its the right fit for you. The school offers great instruction with a lot of personal attention, very friendly atmosphere .... but be prepared to work hard! ... this is Kung Fu.

  I've been training under the tutelage of Sifu Joseph Demundo for approximately three years. He is a dedicated instructor who is patient, detailed and honest about his teaching. A great thing about this school is that you can develop the skills at your own pace. You will notice the progress so long as your willing to do the work wholeheartedly. The school offers distinct classes, which is particularly of value for anyone with a busy schedule (such as myself), Ex.strictly kicking, body conditioning, hand techniques, self-defense and so forth. Other aspects of the training I particularly like to hone in on are Chi development, hard and soft power, which Sifu incorperates into the techniques. I can sincerely say ever since I started training here, I notice the strengthen in my legs from all the stance work, my forearms and grip are conditioned beyond what weights would ever allow me to achieve. I feel mentally and physically much more discipline and confident to handle any difficult situation that is presented to me, this is stuff that stays with you for the rest of your life. I highly recommend trying a class out and making that investment in yourself!

  Yee's Hung Ga Kung Fu academy offers authentic Southern Shaolin Kung Fu. Classes differ showing techniques and using them in "what-if" situations mix with warm-ups and calisthenics. Students are also taught forms, and later on weapon forms, that include a set of diverse techniques which help develop flexibility, strength, and conditioning on a their body. I've been training at Yee's Hung Ga for more than a decade and I am still training to this day. Couple things which I haven't notice in the beginning, while training is that it helped me with my health and condition. Being asthmatic and having low cardio, the techniques in the Kung Fu forms and Chi-Gung training helped with my body to handle my condition. The academy building is very "old school", it carries that ethereal feeling like you're in the traditional Kung Fu school. The #1 reason I am still practicing at this martial art academy is because of the instructor or Sifu, is very nice, humble and informative. Compare to other big martial art academies, a student might rarely have lessons with the head instructor. But in Yee's Hung Ga Kung Fu academy in Chinatown, Sifu teaches most of the classes. Compare to the new current generation of martial arts, this is an opportunity to study traditional Kung Fu in its originality.
