Gee Yung Chinese Martial Arts, Dragon & Lion Dance Sports Association
About
Gee Yung Chinese Martial Arts, Dragon & Lion Dance Sports Association offers a unique blend of traditional martial arts and cultural performance training in Honolulu. The gym specializes in MMA and karate disciplines, with a particular focus on the Fat Ga Kuen Buddhist Fist system that traces its lineage back to ancient Shaolin temples. The school continues a family tradition established by Grand Master Arthur YS Lee, who learned from a bodyguard of Dr. Sun Yet Sen and taught out of passion for the art rather than fame. Current instruction is led by Harlan Lee, who maintains this legacy of practical self-defense techniques and health-focused training.

Grew up training since the age of 5. My Sifu was my father. Grand master Arthur YS Lee. Who carried on Gee Yung at the age of 27 after his Sun Gung Sifu passed away. My dad taught not for fame but for the love of the art. Fat Ga Kuen is Buddhist Fist learned in ancient Shaolin temple in the north. My dad’s Sifu was at one time Dr. Sun Yet Sen private bodyguard. Our martial arts system works! Good for self defense and health! Now taught by my brother Harlan Lee.

Harlan and his troupe came to our house to celebrate Chinese New Year and made it the most memorable evening of our entire lives! As they Blessed our house, we fell in love with the Baby Lions! Innocent, Playful, Rascally...appealing beyond words, they fit into our household like Genuine Loving Pets and we wished they could stay with us Forever!
