Lung Ch'uan Fa is a system of martial arts rooted in Shaolin and White Dragon Kung Fu, as well as Yang Style Tai Chi Ch'uan.

New students of Lung Ch'uan Fa are taught basic self-defense techniques and go through physical exercise. Empty hand form sets, including long fist style punching and basic footwork techniques, in combination with stepping drills and short and long range kicking techniques, are included in the basic curriculum. The advanced curriculum includes short range dragon fist techniques, evasive and counter attacking strategies, trapping skills, chin-na joint locking, kuiai jiaou and tai chi ch'uan throwing techniques. Classical weapons, including the long staff also known as the Bo (weapon), broadsword, and straight sword are taught during the basic and advanced curriculum. T'ai Chi Ch'uan Qi-Gong exercises are included during warmup exercises. Students engage in sparring matches with body protection for application of technique.
