One only has to look at the school motto, which has been handed down since the inception of the art and has been taught to each student in every generation :
A new practitioner starting in this art will learn “Respect” and will train “To be a good person” and lastly “Kung Fu”.
The Chinese Kung Fu A cademy offers a 4 week Introductory Course to people who wish to find out more about our style (2 sessions x 1.5 hrs weekly training over a calendar month). During this period the new practitioner will be expose d to the basic concepts of the art including – relaxation, generation of power, the first 10 movements of the first form and the fighting concepts of a minimum of 5 single hand techniques and 3 fighting combinations . After this period the practitioner may apply to join the school proper. Member ship will be by invitation.

The new practitioner will be introduced to the Tong Long System gradually. Each level will present a new challenge to the practitioner – there are new concepts to learn, and new energy to acquire.
Upon reaching and awarded his/her discipleship, the practitioner will be presented with greater challenges, one of such challenge is the concept of “Qi” or “Qi Gung” and its applications.
