The Rhode Island Kung Fu Club, founded in 2007, is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to promoting the traditional martial and cultural arts of kung fu and lion dance. Through our training and educational programming in both disciplines, as well as community engagement, we celebrate culture and strengthen cross-cultural understanding across Rhode Island.
Kung fu and lion dance training can develop key foundational physical skills such as utilization of stable stances, mobile and efficient footwork, overall coordination for dynamic whole-body movement, and improved reactive skills. Training can also offer mental benefits, including greater situational awareness, adaptability, perseverance, and enhanced focus through consistent practice. All classes are taught by Sifu Luyi Shao.
