Traditional Chinese Martial Arts Association

The Traditional Chinese Martial Arts Association was founded in 2015 in Ilion by Sifu Dimitris Panagiotakis. It teaches martial arts such as Choy Lee Fut, Luohan Qi Gong, Sanda, and Tai Chi Chuan. Choy Lee Fut is one of the most popular Kung Fu systems, originating from the Shaolin Temple, and combines elements from both Southern and Northern styles. The main characteristic is the power derived from circular movements of the hands and feet. Luohan Qi Gong is a method for managing the body's energy flow through physical and mental exercises. Sanda, known as Chinese Kickboxing, is a modern sport version of traditional Kung Fu. Tai Chi Chuan is a traditional Chinese martial art that also serves as a dynamic form of meditation. The association participates in local and national championships and is an active member of the Greek Wushu Kung Fu Federation.
