About the Society
Sheung Chi Internal Martial Arts Association is a licensed society registered with the Hong Kong Police (Registration No. 51461). Unlike our martial arts club, Kung Fu Quest, which focuses on teaching and training, Sheung Chi operates as a nonprofit organisation dedicated to preserving and promoting Traditional Chinese Martial Arts (TCMA), including Tai Chi, in modern Hong Kong.
Our mission is to keep TCMA relevant and accessible by connecting practitioners, organisations, and the community. We leverage our resources, including physical space, expertise, and knowledge in brand management, digital marketing and consumer insights, to promote these traditions and their holistic wellbeing benefits.
By combining traditional kung fu with modern fitness practices, we bridge the gap between ancient traditions and contemporary lifestyles, ensuring TCMA continues to thrive for future generations.
Our Mission
to support the promotion and evolution of the challenges faced by TCMA today, while preserving its heritage.
Our Goals are to
-
Making Kung Fu and Tai Chi appealing to younger generations (Gen Z to Gen X) by showing their relevance to fitness, mindfulness, and personal growth.
-
Ensuring TCMA remains a vital part of Hong Kong’s intangible cultural heritage while adapting to modern needs.
-
Addressing challenges like language, inclusion, space constraints, misconceptions about TCMA being outdated or overly complex, and the difficulty teachers face in finding students.
-
Bridging tradition and modernity through innovative programs that inspire interest and participation.

Tai Chi and Kung Fu at the heart of Hong kong culture
Traditional Chinese Martial Arts offer more than just physical fitness – they build discipline, mindfulness, and personal growth.
Tai Chi, often misunderstood as “just for seniors,” is a valuable practice for all ages. At Sheung Chi, we strive to make it accessible and appealing to younger generations without compromising its traditions.
While mastery takes years, the first step doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. By breaking down barriers to entry and offering tailored approaches, we ensure TCMA is practical, approachable, and rewarding for everyone.
