Ching Yi Kung Fu Atlanta

Ching Yi Kung Fu Atlanta is an affiliate school of the Ching Yi Kung Fu Association, Founder/Director Dr. Her Yue Wong, Head Instructor Mark VanSchuyver, PhD. Ching Yi Kung Fu Atlanta provides training in four traditional martial art disciplines, Taiji Quan, Xingyi Quan, Bagua Zhang, and Shaolin Quan.

The Ching Yi Kung Fu Association (CYKFA) was founded by Dr. Her Yue Wong in 1972 as an organization of fellowship for practitioners of the Ching Yi Kung Fu System, and as a certifying body for those wishing to attain official rank in the System.

The term "Ching Yi" can be translated as "fine arts" or "refined arts," and was chosen by Dr. Wong to convey the goals of his Kung Fu System and the Association - constant refinement of our skills toward the objective of total mastery. The Ching Yi core training curriculum is focused primarily on the Internal Kung Fu systems of Tai Ji Quan, Xing Yi Quan and Ba Gua Zhang, their unique supplementary exercises and self-defense applications. Additional training is also available in select "external" or "Shaolin" Kung Fu forms from systems such as Praying Mantis, White Crane, Chang Quan and Yan Qing Quan.
