Woo's Martial Arts

Woo's Martial Arts is a health institution located at 169 Belmont Street in Belmont, Massachusetts, United States. Our motto is "If you learn one thing you will know a thousand." We serve the communities of Belmont, Cambridge, Watertown, and surrounding areas. Grandmaster Woo is internationally recognized for his expertise in Kung Fu and Tai Chi, with over 60 years of experience in mastering various martial arts systems. He is known as a "master's master" and has dedicated over 30 years to refining and promoting his 5 Elements Tai Chi system.

At Woo's Martial Arts, we emphasize lifelong learning, respect, and personal growth. We believe in stepping out of comfort zones, embracing failure, and persisting to improve. Sifu LaVallee, a disciple of Grandmaster Woo, is a professional educator with decades of experience in martial arts. Our Kung Fu program combines Southern Hung Gar Tiger Crane and Northern Shaolin styles, focusing on both external and internal methods of practice.

In addition to Kung Fu and Tai Chi, we offer private lessons, traditional weapons instruction, meditation, women's self-defense, Lion Dance, and seminars on religion and philosophy. Tai Chi, developed over 300 years ago, is practiced for health and mindfulness. Our 5 Elements Tai Chi system, based on Hung Gar Kung Fu principles, complements martial arts practice and promotes overall well-being. Chi Gung, a holistic health practice, aims to cultivate and harmonize life energy.

Our youth Kung Fu program is designed to help children gain confidence, focus, discipline, and physical fitness in a welcoming and encouraging environment. Students will earn ranks as they progress in their training. Join us at Woo's Martial Arts to experience the benefits of traditional martial arts training and personal development.
