The History of Fu-Jow Pai
Fu-Jow Pai (Tiger Claw System) is an ancient martial
art based on
the movements of the tiger. Training includes aerobic activity, strength training,
flexibility, practical self-defense, respect, self discipline, values, improved
coordination and concentration. We teach students not only proper kicking and
punching but self-defense techniques and Kung Fu forms.
The Original name of Fu-Jow Pai was
"Hark Fu Moon" (Black Tiger System). It was renamed by the First
Generation Grand Master Wong Bil Hong, to Fu-Jow Pai of Hoy Hong Temple. This was done in the memory of his master, a Shaolin Monk who's name remained
anonymous because of Manchurian persecution toward the Shaolin order.
In the mid-19th century, Wong
Bil Hong was challenged to a
dual. While battling in the courtyard of the Hoy Hong Temple, he and his adversary
were separated by an old monk. Both were so overwhelmed by the superior Kung-Fu
skills of this monk that they accepted the invitation to discuss their
differences. After mediating on their disagreement, the monk accepted them as
disciples and taught them hark Fu Moon (Black Tiger) Kung-Fu.
For the past 25 years Kwan's Kung-Fu has been the hallmark of excellence in the
Martial Arts community of Westchester and has participated in numerous
tournaments including Asian Cultural events though out the Tri-State area.
Master Shue Yiu Kwan has trained many tournament champions and His Kung-Fu was
recently featured in the July 2006 issue of inside Kung-Fu Magazine.
This
class is taught in the tradition of Power Yoga.
It is a
yoga workout designed for the fitness minded individuals.
The class consists of yoga postures linked together in a flow of movement,
which combines strength, balance, and
flexibility. All levels are welcome.
Class Description:
The Folk Dance group classes is designed to
not only teach the techniques of the traditional Chinese folk dance to help
students develop good body posture, balance and coordination, but also
demonstrate the Chinese culture via rhythm/ Chinese folk music, costumes, hand
gestures, signature movements, and different styles of the various types of the
Chinese folk dances. The class will also help promote Chinese culture by
performing at Huaxia Chinese School events or community festivals/events so that
more people will gain understanding and appreciation for the Chinese
arts/culture.
Class Commitment:
Once joining the class, students & families
need to commit themselves for performances at Huaxia Chinese School and other
community events. In addition, students & families are required to participate
in additional rehearsals as needed, and share all the costs associated.
Class Pre-requisite:
Need to pass a dance audition, and prior dance training is preferred.
Tap is one of the best ways to start your dancing life. Within a short time, you will be able to work at a pace that provides plenty of fitness benefits, such as coordination, agility, timing and rhythm. Rhythm is, of course, the main thing. When you tap, you are actually a percussion instrument.
This class is for students with no tap experience or less than one year of continuous tap training. Classes will start with the basics and build solid technique.
Class open to Grade 2-3 students only.
Learn how to draw funny expressions, hands & feet, figures in Motion, Animals, Action Figures, Different Perspectives, Gags, and much more. Vincent Davis is a professional freelance cartoonist who takes the art of cartooning seriously while teaching a highly instructional, entertaining class.
Students are expected to bring in their own 8"x11" copy paper (soft, non gloss), 2 8H, 2HB, artist pencils, 2 pink pearl erasers, 1 wooden or steel 12" ruler, a folder for their work and $15.00 for Mr. Davis' Cartooning Workbook. Please be prepared on the first day of class.
This course starts with the most basic concepts of playing guitar (proper sitting position & holding the instrument), covers many aspects of guitar technique (coordinating left & right-hand movements & how to produce the best-sounding notes), and offers simple, understandable ways to apply basic music-theory principles to the guitar.
Mr. Myers has nearly forty years' experience as a professional performer, recording artist, and instructor on several musical instruments. He is able
To clearly and effectively convey his experience and his love of the instrument. By the conclusion of the course, students should be able to play (and perhaps also sing) some basic American folk songs &'pop' tunes.
Using simple methods, students learn the basics of drumming and hand percussion. To play properly, children must develop self-discipline & accuracy, and the ability to listen to what others are doing at the same time they are:
By dividing beats and rhythms among players in sub-groups, the students learn about teamwork, and how essential it is to 'hold-down their part' in order for the ensemble as a whole to produce good-sounding music.
These are valuable life-lessons that students in this course will learn in fun & interesting ways. (Often they learn as much about themselves as they do about the actual instruments!)
