East West Kung Fu was founded in 1967 in Castro Valley, California, by Grandmaster Lee and has served the East Bay for more than 58 years. Senior Grandmaster Richard Lee created the Bok Fu Do system, also called the Way of the White Tiger, and East West Kung Fu is the only school in the world that teaches this system. Bok Fu Do integrates Chinese Kenpo, Jujitsu, Karate, Tae Kwon Do, American boxing, Tien Shan Pai, Seven Star Praying Mantis, and traditional Chinese weapons into a single curriculum. The school has an instructor staff of over 40 certified World Class Black Belts, and Grandmaster John Buckley and senior instructors rotate among all three locations. The school's mission is to improve lives through the benefits of Bok Fu Do training for men, women, and children of all backgrounds and fitness levels, and East West Kung Fu welcomes students of all fitness levels, backgrounds, and ages. Programs range from Youth Kung Fu starting at age 3½ to Adult Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and specialized self-defense seminars, and enrolling begins with a complimentary private introductory lesson as the standard starting point for new students of all ages, with no prior martial arts experience required. East West Kung Fu schools have served the East Bay for over 50 years and describe themselves as the premiere Chinese Martial Arts School in America, with all three locations verified on Google Business Profile, and they are actively serving San Ramon, Alamo, and Lafayette.

Parents and students have shared that they have trained at East West Kung Fu for several years, that children have advanced multiple belt levels, and that they describe the instructors as supportive and fun. Families report improvements they have seen in their children’s focus, attitude, and skills, and some parents say they highly recommend the studio for both children and adults. One parent notes that their women’s self-defense event at this location involved significant time, effort, and communication and that they could feel the community at the school.
