Visited this place a while back, during my search for a legitimate Sanda/Sanshou, or Wushu-based sparring course. Sat in for one class, and didnt feel the junior instructor really had a solid grasp of the fundamental kung fu techniques, let alone, the bag-work (ie. punching correctly with hip, leg, and guard). Moreover, seeing Islamic imagery placed in a Chinese kung fu place (a Daoist, Buddhist, Confucian space) next to traditional incense bowls just screamed mis-blending, bastardization, or misappropriation to me. The combination of these two did not convince me that this place was philosophically authentic enough, nor would it offer combat-practical training.Frame of reference: lifetime background in Shaolin wushu, Shotokan karate, Muay Thai, and MMA.

Community-oriented Kung Fu and Tai Chi school teaching children and adults in lion dance, dragon dance, sparring, forms, techniques and drumming. Hung Tao Choy Mei runs childrens camps in the Summer; childrens programs during the school year. It produces an annual award event at the historic Lincoln Theatre for outstanding national artist-activists that also showcases local performing artists. The founder and lead instructor is a native Washingtonian who supports the health and welfare of students through the school, through testimony before city council, and through support of similar organizations in the city. Newbies pay one fee for first 18 classes and uniform. Then students pay monthly tuition after 18 classes used up. There are no contracts, and you can train as often as you want.
