Our Main System

 Vajrayana (Tibetan) White Crane (also called Sijong Pak Hok in Cantonese) is a branch of the Lions Roar system of traditional kung fu.

Lions Roar Kung Fu was established by a Vajrayana Buddhist Priest back in the 1400's. It was such an effective system that it became the imperial style of China, i.e., the style of the Emperor and his body guards.
 

From its beginning, Lions Roar incorporated external and internal methods, long and short range techniques, kickboxing and wrestling, and Indo-Chinese-Tibetan medical and philosophical theories.

Other systems that descend from the Lions Roar kungfu system include: the Lama System, Lama Pai, Hop Gar, the Secret Sect style, and many others.
