White Crane Kung Fu: with Sifu John Jackson
Shifu John Jackson is the Hudson Valley regional keeper of the White Crane/Flying Crane Fist kung fu lineage, which originates almost 400 years to Fujian, China (a cousin form to Wing Chun).

Join us this Sunday, April 30th at 1pm as Shifu Jackson discusses the origins and principles of an elegant style of kung fu that emphasizes speed and evasion over strength and brute force.
