Opened to the general public in 1990; prior to this we only taught and trained privately.The name of the centre; "INT. KIM LOONG WUSHU CENTRE" is named after our son Jefferson G. Kim-Loong Lan.
We are one of few centers left in the world who uphold the ancient/traditional teachings as passed down from generation to generation and teacher to student. We do not alter any of our systems/styles but do adjust our techniques of training/ “the passing down of information” with the times we are in. Our centre is the inception of our members.
We have a support base of understudies/tohdi who are can also be instructors that assist us in the day to day interaction of our members. We keep all classes to a maximum of 24 members to a class and conduct beginner classes in all styles on a continuous base. Fitness levels are not of issue initialey as this can be regulated once one becomes a member.
We have branches in various areas majoring in one/two particular style/s. Headquarters encompasses all styles and arts related to Chinese healing and martial arts. We are a traditional centre and like to keep our membership within easy teaching ratios; consisting mainly of the more serious student; those who seek more out of their training.
The Logo & its symbolism
Double Dragon reaching out for the fiery pearl which has the symbol of Yin/Yang within.The second Dragon (the Centre) is us assisting you in a combined effort to reach your goal. The Yin/Yang as the fiery (hopes/ambitions) pearl (goals/life) shows the balance and harmony (Dao/Tao) we strive for in our efforts.
The Celestial Chinese Dragon is comparable as the symbol of the Chinese race itself. Chinese around the world, proudly proclaim themselves "Lung Tik Chuan Ren" (Descendents of the Dragon). Dragons are referred to as the divine mythical creature that brings with it ultimate abundance, prosperity and good fortune. According to symbolism; the single Dragon reaching for the pearl; reflects you (the dragon) in life trying to strive for your goals (the pearl).
The passive Dragon is the symbol of great understanding within the martial arts; it is the goal that as a martial artist we strive for; the mergence of heaven and earth (internal & external training) coming together. Ranking the practitioner in the highest regard in their personal endeavors; releasing them from egotistical display. As the emblem of the Emperor and the Imperial command, the legend of the Chinese Dragon permeates the ancient Chinese civilization and shaped their culture until today. Its benevolence signifies greatness, goodness and blessings.
The Chinese Dragon, or Lung , symbolizes power and excellence, valiancy and boldness, heroism and perseverance, nobility and divinity. A dragon overcomes obstacles until success is his. He is energetic, decisive, optimistic, intelligent and ambitious.
Unlike the negative energies associated with Western Dragons, most Eastern Dragons are beautiful, friendly, and wise. In Asian philosophy there are no definitive defined spaces for good and bad; it is merged and intertwined; utilised to aid an imbalance or "right a wrong". Therefore to describe the Dragon symbol as good or bad is a projected view and/or perceived idea according to perceptions and awareness.
