Meet the Chau Luen Athletics Team
More than just a kung fu club
Chau Luen Athletics was founded in 1943, teaching hundreds of students in traditional kung fu, lion dance, and dragon dance. Our leadership team members all have over a decade of kung fu experience, as well as years performing in lion dances and dragon dances. We pride ourselves on teaching traditional techniques, as well preserving Chinese culture through awe-inspiring lion and dragon dances at community events all across Vancouver and the Lower Mainland.
Senior Leadership
We can trace our kung fu lineage back to 1836, and through all those years, knowledge has been passed down over 7 generations. Our senior leadership is proud to continue training our students on the foundational techniques to keep the spirit of Choy Lee Fut alive.
