Gung Fu Academy

Chinese-Indonesian self-defense rooted in the Liu Seong lineage. Discipline, community and combative skill, on the mat and online.

The Art

Our system blends Liu Seong Royal Chuan Fa and Pencak Silat, with roots in Hokkien White Crane and Bagua Zhang. Training covers empty-hand work, hard and soft Qigong, movement drills, constant hands-on technique practice and forms.

Students also learn weapons: short stick, knife (pisau), staff, machete (parang), broadsword, straight sword, titjiu and three-section staff. The focus is combative effectiveness, not sport.
