The name Green Cloud in Chinese is Chin Whan Ji, which means Young Cloud Monastery or sometimes called Lyk Whan Ji. Unlike other martial arts schools, we are just an extension of the Green Cloud Monastery, which is still in Toisan China. We are not a religious organization, but we still follow the same philosophy and traditions. The martial arts that are taught in our school are taught verbatim as the monks taught their disciples. The training involves stretching calisthenics and Iron Body conditioning that develops strength and stamina through rigorous internal and external such as isometric and breathing exercises that have been handed down from teacher to student for over two thousand years.

These exercises are not like the hundreds of fads that we see today. The training routines that are proven and time tested over a period of time that are designed to increase overall strength, focus and spirit. Unlike the Green Cloud Monastery in China, we are a family martial arts school. Our philosophy is that families that train together grow strong together. We place a strong emphasis on character development by developing student's confidence we see an increase in their discipline.

In today's highly technological society we are constantly trying to do things quicker and easier. However, quick and easy does not mix well with a true art form. There is nothing quick and easy about learning Kung-Fu. True Kung-Fu is based upon discipline and perseverance, a passion for excellence and dedicated training—both physical and mental. Most anyone can be introduced to Kung-Fu and take a few lessons but not everyone will continue to learn.

Our society, in an effort to make things quick and better, often brings about change. Change is what makes our quality of life better. Consider the uses of cell phones, microwaves, computers, and dishwasher. Many martial arts form have also been swept up in this wave of change so that they may make martial arts quick and easy to learn. At Green Cloud, we believe that this type of change is not what Kung-Fu represents. Kung-Fu is an exercise of commitment, passion, discipline, a quest for excellence, and physical and mental challenges.
