Kylin Martial Arts and Combat Club was established in Hong Kong during late 2006 with our very first class on 1st October.
The realisation of our club started with a small group of dedicated students and also good? friends who, refusing to take the easy option of joining other clubs when a permanent space became unavailable, still believed in loyalty and respect for each other and in their desire and training for the Sport of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu here in Hong Kong.
Our Club is the result of months of planning and hard work by our members showing believe in building a centre of excellence through dedication and quality training in the lifetime pursuit of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and other Martial Arts. Everything you see in our club has been personally created or donated? by our friends and club members and we are all proud and grateful for every one's continued support.
Kylin is the name chosen for our club, Kylin is a famous mythical chimerical creature of China, and its appearance is said to mean the arrival of a Sage. To the Chinese people, the Kylin is a creature of serenity and fairness, protecting the weak and pure when threatened by those who seek to harm them, it only becomes fierce and punishing with great powers in the face of the wicked. Strong ethics which are inherent and instilled amongst our club members.
It is our goal in Kylin to build a strong quality centre of genuine Martial Arts here in Hong Kong and pursue our dream of reaching perfection and quality for our personal goals as Martial Artists and Competitors of Martial Sports. We believe that all our instructors will deliver the highest quality in technique and training to everyone who walks through our door who will no doubt walk out bettering and knowing more about themselves.
Although our Club consists of mainly? Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Grappling Practitioners including MMA. We are also the home of dedicated practitioners of? Shorinjiryu Kenkokan Karatedo and Yoshinkan Aikido here in Hong Kong.
We believe in the complete Martial Artist and strongly advocate cross training amongst different disciplines to be able to understand ourselves and become knowledgeable in the different ranges of fighting and knowing we can physically better handle ourselves in any confrontational situations. Look out for more Martial disciplines at our club in the near future.
In a hectic city that is Hong Kong, we hope we have created a space for all like minded people to come and train hard, de-stress, work out, compete and make good friends. Our doors are always open to everyone here in Hong Kong, and guests from overseas are more than welcome to drop by and visit us.
Thank You!
As all guys who practice Bjj would say-
'See you on the Mat!'
