“Serving the Community in

Burlington County since 1970”

What is the Martial Arts? The term "Martial" refers to war or the physical training required for combat. The "Martial Arts” were initially designed for combat in the feudal days of Asia. It was the Buddhist Monk Damo's influence in 520 AD that probably was responsible for the input of spiritual and mental training into the Martial Arts. Modern Martial Arts training is therefore designed to promote a high level of physical prowess, mental awareness and spiritual development.

The Green Dragon Chinese Martial School sponsors a program of Chinese Martial Arts training designed to offer prospective students the opportunity to learn traditional Chinese Martial systems of Southern China. A program of Chinese traditional weaponry, empty hand fighting, self defense, Asian culture, and physical conditioning is available to qualified applicants to the school.

The system of martial arts taught by the school is called "CHUNG KUO CHUAN - KUOSHU", which means Chinese Boxing - National Art of Martial Technique". The system reflects the training postures of the Tiger, Crane, Dragon, and Praying Mantis. Most Chinese Arts are commonly referred to as KUNG FU, but this is not actually a proper term since Kung Fu really means the accomplishment of any task or hard work. In "China" the proper term that is used is WUSHU (Military Art), while Taiwan uses the term KUOSHU (National Art). The techniques taught in the school can trace their roots back to the original style which came from the Shaolin temples of Honan and Fukien in mainland China.

The training regimen in the school is very demanding, and strict codes of discipline are enforced. Depending on availability and criteria, most students can expect to attain advanced level ranking in two to three years of dedicated training. Competition training is available and additional programs are available to Schools, Colleges, and civic groups. Our purpose is to develop competent Martial Arts students for the betterment of the student, the community, and our society. It is our hope that the Martial Arts will be looked upon for its true values.

About the GrandMaster and International Director

The Green Dragon School is the official headquarters for the United States Chung Kuo Chuan KUOSHU Federation, which was chartered by Grandmaster W.S. Hung of Taichung, Taiwan, R.O.C. in 1970. The Director and Chief Instructor is Master S.L. Martin, Jin Hu, LAO-TZU. GrandMaster S.L. Martin began his Martial Arts training in 1955, and has studied exclusively in the far east under noted Asian GrandMasters. In addition to his extensive travels and studies, Master Martin holds Black Belt rank in Judo, HakkoRyu Jitsu, and is ranked as a 6th degree BLACK BELT in Okinawan Karate and a 10th Level teacher and disciple of Grandmaster Hung. Master Martin was officially adopted into the “Hung” family in 1995, and given the name “Hung, Jin-Hu”. He was also officially awarded the banner of the “Taichung Hsueh Dau Kwang” organization, and authorized as the U.S. GrandMaster of the Taichung Fukien White Crane System. Master Martin holds a New Jersey State Teaching Certificate, and is a graduate of Trenton State College with a BS in Education. GrandMaster Martin has personally conducted instructional programs for the F.B.I., Military Police, Special Forces, medical institutions, academic institutions - and countless military and civilian students. He is the recipient of more than thirty military awards and decorations, a Vietnam Veteran, and a retired serviceman who served more than 23 years of active service, two of which were served in a combat zone. He is an active competitor, lecturer, and teacher, who is also primarily responsible for the founding of the United Martial Arts Referees Association (a multi-style Referees Organization). He was inducted into the Inside Kung Fu Maga-zine’s “Hall of Fame” as the “Instructor of the Year—2000”. Additionally, He was honored by the New Jersey State Assembly with an Official Proclamation recognizing his contributions to the citizens of the state of New Jersey for 30 consecutive years. He was also recently honored with an induction into the “Kuoshu Hall of Fame” for the year 2002, by the United States Chinese Kuoshu Federation.

About the Instructors

All instructors of the I.F.C.M.A. are certified Black Belt teachers who have participated in an active program of intensified Martial Arts training and teaching preparation. The instructors are all under the personal guidance of GrandMaster, and are required to participate in regular seminars and clinics to continually enhance their productivity and worth as competent teachers. All instructors use the latest in video equipment to make visual learning concepts available to their students through the use of tapes of various forms and techniques. The I.F.C.M.A. can claim among its ranks of instructors, both National and International level champions as well as several Regional champions. These instructors bring to their classes a tradition or more than 300 years of Martial Arts technique, and a culture exchange that began more than 1000 years ago.

About the Training

Training in the Martial Arts is designed to cultivate and stimulate increased physical prowess, cardiovascular enrichment, self defense, sport, Asian culture, and an overall condition of Homeostasis (Complete unity of body health). The proper study of the Martial Arts serves to give students a feeling of self confidence based upon individual accomplishments rather than team victory or defeat of an opponent. Martial Arts training can be entered into at a very young age, and it is very common to see young children studying the Martial Arts, as well as being dazzled by the feats of students who are in their sixties or seventies. Discipline and structure are the key words in our schools. Students are taught to be mannered, respectful contributors to their communities, and our overall society.
