Leung Martial Arts Academy started as David Leung Chinese Kung Fu Tai Chi academy by Master Leung in the late 70’s. Master Leung opened the Academy to honor his Chinese heritage that had given him his martial arts education and to share those arts with others.

Over the years, with the passing of many top level Tai Chi and Kung Fu masters, including his own Yang style teacher, Master Leung has dedicated himself to the preservation of traditional Chinese martial arts. Out of the hundreds of traditional Chinese martial arts, he concentrated on the internal arts, such as Tai Chi, Bagua, Hsing I and Wing Chun.

Today, Master Leung’s martial arts family has grown ever larger, including hundreds of students and instructors all over the world. With his daughter and sons joining his Academy, David Leung Chinese Kung Fu/Tai Chi academy evolved to Leung Martial Arts Academy.
