Alan Lee’s Chinese Kung Fu – Wu Su Association is a non-profit Kung Fu school that has been a fabric of NYC for 45 years now. Founded and still led by the venerable Grandmaster Alan Lee, this temple teaches an eclectic mix of traditional chinese martial arts blending northern and southern styles of kung fu including weapons, grappling, & ground fighting. The unique fusion of training methods both traditional and modern techniques is what sets this school apart from other chinese martial art kwoons. Some of the senior teachers of the temple have been with the school since the 1970s and continue to pass on their knowledge and endless encouragements to their students.

We had the pleasure to attend Alan Lee’s Chinese Kung Fu – Wu Su Association’s 45th annual exhibition last Sunday with plenty of chi & adrenaline flowing throughout the show! The demonstration included fist form routines, fighting dancing (shadow boxing), internal forms, fighting, self defense, breaking, weapon routines, animal routines and fighting, and the nail bed discipline! The animals unleashed segment displaying the various animal styles including tiger, crane, snake, mantis, & eagle was one of my favorite portions of the exhibition as well as the various breaking demonstrations!
