UPDATED: Lion Dancers & Self Defense-Community - Not for Profit

We are a Not for Profit organization that believes in giving back to the community. Have you ever thought about performing as a Lion Dancer or wanted to learn Self Defense? Great aerobic activity, teamwork, culture, confidence building and fun. Why not try something new and challenging? INSTRUCTOR BIO: Sifu Godwin Chan began his martial arts training in Edmonton, Alberta at the age of 8 years old. He was trained by his father, the late Sigung David Chan, the late Sigung Stan Lee and the late Sigung Tom Ng, who were the founding members of the “Canadian Ging Wu.” Over the last 40+ years, Sifu Godwin has trained in Wing Chun, Hung Gar and Tai Chi Praying Mantis; receiving his Black Sash in Hung Gar Kung Fu in 1997. He specialized in Long Weapons, Hung Gar and both Traditional and Contemporary Chinese Lion Dancing, performing in Community events in both Edmonton and Victoria. While in Victoria, he has spent over 22 years instructing Kung Fu and Chinese Lion Dancing within the community. Within a year of joining, Sifu Godwin became one of the main instructors at the Wong Sheung Kung Fu Club. In 2007, he was one of two instructors to receive his Black Sash in Hung Fut Kung Fu. There has been less than 20 Black Sashes awarded in their 48+ year history. In 2022, he founded the Ging Wu West where he will be teaching exclusively. Instruction will be in both Contemporary and Traditional forms of Chinese Lion Dancing and martial arts. We are very fortunate to have Sifu Godwin share with us his vast experience and knowledge where he is offering classes to the general public. Always being involved in non profit organizations and believing in giving back to the community, his goal is to make instruction affordable to all. Accepting ALL Genders and Ethnicities: youths, teens and adults/parents with a great attitude and an eagerness to challenge themselves.
