Raymond Wong: Hello! My name is Raymond Wong; I operate a Kung-Fu studio teaching the art of Jow Ga Kung-Fu we are based in Washington DC.

The name of our group, we are called The Wong People.

We are going to give you a brief presentation of what Kung-Fu is today.

Kung-Fu or Wushu as some call it, is a system of self-defense that is based on philosophical principles and the passing on of cultural teachings. The knowledge of this ancient art is usually handed down by way of inheritance from direct family lineage or family based secret societies.

The intended purpose of Kung-Fu is to be used for protecting ones family. Protecting the family not necessarily in a combat sense but mostly to protect and strengthen the traditional values which is the backbone for the existence of the family. These traditional values are universally shared by all and it is the fabric that holds any family together.

Values like respect, discipline, perseverance, understanding, the ability to withstand in physical and mental hardships.

The study of Kung-Fu may appeared to do well mostly on the physical elements. However, the ultimate goal of all the physical training is to develop ones internal strength, attitude and character, because in any situation, it is usually ones character and attitude that determines the outcome.
