Traditional kung fu. Without the baggage.

Chinese martial arts have been used for thousands of years to help people learn to perform superhuman feats. From two-finger pushups to transcendental meditation, Chinese monks were able to do what most consider impossible.

But traditional martial arts have a habit of attracting snake-oil salesmen and sycophants, and the state of most TMAs today is sad, filled with politics, money, and ego.

The White Lotus Academy was born out of a love of helping people push their bodies to new heights in the traditional ways, with the vision of doing so in an inclusive, encouraging environment that grows with the times.
