Three Treasures Kung Fu and Lion Dance
ABOUT US
Our sister organization, Three Treasures Cultural Arts Society (TTCAS), was founded in 2009 and we originally only taught Kung Fu, Lion Dance, and Chinese Chess. Tp fulfill the growing needs of our students, TTCAS grew to include additional departments that made it necessary for Sifu Frank to make the Kung Fu and Lion Dance its own organization.
Three Treasures Kung Fu is an independent organization and is not a part of any organization except for Yang Family Tai Chi under the tutelage of Grandmaster Yang Jun and his disciples.
Sifu Frank is grateful for his training at:
Kenyon's Tang Soo Do (Master George Berriochoa)
Chan Family Choy Lee Fut (Grandmaster Chen Yong Fa and his disciples)
Chen Family Tai Chi (Master Bill Helm at Taoist Sanctuary)
Yang Family Tai Chi (Grandmaster Yang Jun)
He is also thankful for his friendship with BJJ Professor Michael Cusi, Jason Cook, and Louis Song.
KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING INTO
Loosely translated, Kung Fu means "hard work over time." Arguably, Kung Fu is one of the most complex human fighting systems ever created and it will take a lot of hard work...over time. Be patient yet diligent in your training. Three Treasure only promotes students once a year and only if you're ready.
We are called Three Treasures because it is a daily reminder to build up our three treasures of mind, body, and spirit. Needless to say, our expectations of our students are very high. We are committed to you fulfilling your full potential as a human not just as a martial artist. We are very family style here.
THE TRAINING
We have two training programs that also include sub-programs:

Students must earn their white sash uniform by passing our basic test and then move on to testing for yellow sash when ready. Student do not get to test for higher level training if they are too busy to commit or do not have the requisite skill.
