“I am proud and honored to be part of the Martial Art World, my Kung Fu family, and my Sifu.”
“I believe my Kung Fu training has given me a feeling of being part of something complete. Every day, no matter how much or how little I train I always learn something new or have a better understanding of what was previously learned.”
Sifu Joseph Demundo has been the operator and Chief Branch Instructor of Yee’s Hung Ga Kung Fu Academy’s New York City Chinatown location for over twenty years. He continues to teach the tradition of Hung Ga to the next generation of Martial Artists. He says that, “one of the benefits of teaching is that it reinforces what you know, maintains what you have learned and refines your overall knowledge.”
