At Metrowest Kung Fu, we teach traditional Chinese martial arts in order to enrich both our students and our community. Through the instruction of a rare and ancient Kung Fu style known as Huá Quán(華拳), as well as Yang Style Taiji, we give our students a well-rounded approach to deal with life’s problems, survive life’s struggles, and appreciate life’s gifts.
Metrowest Kung Fu is a branch of Shaolin Kung Fu Centers, which was founded in Worcester Massachusetts by Sigung Joe Maury in 1990. Sigung Maury started studying Huaquan Kung Fu (華拳功夫) with Master Chen Hai Fuk in 1979. Master Chen had studied HuaQuan under the last known Huaquan master, Cai Guigin (蔡桂勤). After many years of teaching in Massachusetts, Sigung and his wife Sifu Sara moved south, and Sigung’s student Sifu Gary LaChapelle took over the Massachusetts location.
After receiving black belts in Karate and Tae Kwon Do in his home state of New Hampshire, Sihing Eliot Prisby became a student of Sifu Gary at The Kung Fu and Tai Chi Academy of New England in 2009, and began learning Huaquan Kung Fu and Yang Style Tai Chi (楊氏太極拳.) He attained the rank of black sash in Huaquan in July 2013.
Sihing Eliot opened Metrowest Kung Fu in January 2016 under the guidance of Sifu Gary, and the support of Sigung and Sifu Sara.
