Love Lion Dance, Kung Fu and the Asian Arts?

So do we!!! In Melbourne, 1986, 7 friends decided to train in Lion Dance, Hung Gar Kuen and Jujutsu. Wanting to push their knowledge and pass on their teachings they constructed a school. This was the beginning of the Hung Gar Yau Shu (HGYS).

Today the school has added Taiko performance drumming, Dragon Dance and Tai Chi. We have over 50 active members and continue to grow each year.
