Other Instructors vary from night to night (please see below), but the classes are always led by a black belt with teaching experience and a ranking of 2nd dan or higher in won hop loong chuan. Sensei instructors may include whlc course material while those not listed as sensei will only be teaching material included in the pyong hwa do curriculum.
Wu Jia Tai Chi Chuan – We teach the Taoist versions of the Wu Tai Chi Form including the short form, long form, sword form and the short circle form. Classes at this time are geared for the Wu short form.
Pyong Hwa Do – This art form is the gateway into the art of Won Hop Loong Chuan and it prepares the student for the more vigorous workouts that will be encountered down the road. PHD consists of “I” pattern and Okinawan forms that will take the student up to 1st degree black belt. At that time, they may be selected to move into the art of WHLC.
Won Hop Loong Chuan – This art has been handed down for many generations as a family art and is taught to those deemed worthy of learning the techniques and dances (kata). The art contains over 350 forms and includes the 5 Animals – Insect, Dragon, Bird, Tiger & Snake.
