Crimson Lotus Choy Lee Fut states that all Kung Fu paths are sash level based on fluency with skills and character development. The Fire Birds Path is described as a fun structured class around goal oriented skills, strength and balance training with character building through games and life lessons, and no forms are taught at this level, only foundational and developmental skills. The Rising Phoenix Path combines skills, strength and balance training with character building through games, forms and life lessons, and includes an introduction to weapons training using safe practices with safe, kid-friendly tools, as well as practical knowledge through sparring and drills for self-defense. The Teens/Adults Path includes daily drills, interpreting forms into function, building strength through targeted conditioning for optimal self-defense, and weekly sparring, two-person drills, and weapons.
The Tai-Chi path is described as “Stillness in motion, Power in Precision, a martial art of mastery, Balance, and Real-World application,” and as a powerful ancient martial art designed for combat, clarity, and control, where students learn the how and the why of Tai-Chi. Qigong, or Energy Skill, is described as designed for health and to enhance everyday life, and includes methods such as Lohan Qi-Gong, Wu Dang 5 Animals, Shaolin 8 Section Brocade, and Sinew Changing and Marrow Washing skill. Kriya Yoga Meditation is described as unity through action and “meditation on fire,” and beginners in Kriya Yoga Meditation learn the meditation process through stillness and a 3-3-3 breath count.
The enrollment package fee covers the official Academy T-shirt and sash fees, as well as all future graduations and rank advancements with no hidden testing fees, and Crimson Lotus Choy Lee Fut states a belief in total transparency regarding the enrollment fee. A portion of every enrollment fee is set aside for the Crimson Lotus Scholarship Fund to provide tuition assistance for local students facing financial hardship.
Crimson Lotus Choy Lee Fut is led by Sifu Billy Thomas, who has 33 years of martial arts training and teaching, and experience working security and moonlighting as a bouncer in a variety of situations. In the stated mission, Sifu Billy describes leading Crimson Lotus Choy Lee Fut as a survivor and a steward, and after a profound life-altering experience in 2023, returning with a mission to provide the highest level of traditional Kung Fu without compromise.
