We are excited to celebrate the 45th Anniversary of the Temple and 55th Anniversary of Wah Lum USA!
The Wah Lum Kung Fu Temple is proud to celebrate 55 years of sharing and preserving the art of Wah Lum Kung Fu. This year’s event is extra special as we also honor the birthday of Grandmaster Pui Chan.
The day will kick off with a traditional lion dance and a short kung fu performance by Wah Lum students. After the opening ceremony, students of all ages and levels will compete throughout the day, showcasing their hard work, dedication, and love for the art.
This celebration is more than just a tournament — it’s a chance for the Wah Lum family and community to come together, reconnect, and honor a legacy that has inspired generations. Whether you’re here to watch the performances, cheer on the competitors, or simply be part of this milestone, we’re excited to share this special day with you.
