Sifu and Instructors

SIFU CHRIS YEE

Since Chris was a small child he always loved going to Chinatown and watching the lion dances during Chinese New Year. He always had a strong passion for lion dance and kung fu and ultimately he found himself on a lifelong journey with martial arts. He began kung fu at the age of 5 learning Praying Mantis style. Years later, he would start learning under Grandmaster Winchell Woo for more than a decade and was a key member of the school and the performance team. He decided to open and manage this academy in Quincy with the help of his kung fu family. He hopes that his attention to detail and his love for art will help his students grow and become not only well-rounded martial artists but also well-rounded people in their daily lives. Chris' goal is to make a lasting kung fu school to continue to share and spread our teachings, promote Chinese culture and traditions, and support the community.

FUN FACT: Chris' full-time job is serving the public at BIDMC as a Pharmacist and used to play badminton competitively!

HEAD LION DANCE INSTRUCTOR CHRIS HUYNH

At a young age, Chris learned lion dance and kung fu very fast and his passion grew with it. His strong passion has ended allowing him to become a skillful martial artist and lion dancer. Chris seeks to pass along this same passion to each and every student he teaches in hopes of creating even stronger students. Always making a willing effort to help out the school, he embodies the spirit and teaching of the school, proving time and time again to be a role model for the students at the school.

FUN FACT: Chris Huynh is called "Little Chris" because at one point there were so many people named Chris at our school we had to differentiate them and Chris was the littlest out of all of them. Now he's not so little and actually getting too tall to lion dance!
