Chee Kung Tong Martial Arts Program
MARTIAL ARTS & LION DANCE TRAINING PROGRAM
Reviving Tradition. Strengthening Spirit. Building the Next Generation.
For 176 years, the San Francisco Chee Kung Tong has carried the traditions, values, and cultural spirit of the Hung Mun lineage. Today, we proudly continue this heritage by offering a Martial Arts & Lion Dance Training Program designed to build strength, discipline, honor, and cultural pride within our community.
This program is more than physical training —
