Jin Long - About us
Jin Long Chinese Martial Arts Academy, as part of Jin Long Centre, is proud to be the main organiser and sponsor of the 2012 Chinese New Year Festival run by the Stockport Council. Jin Long has an inspiring history of organising events, cultural workshops and performance for the last decades. Jin Long has cooperated with many groups and societies, and frequently invited to do demonstrations at variety of events including the annual Chinese New Year Celebration at the Trafford Centre, Manchester, UK, and the biggest Chinese New Year Celebration in Manchester China Town; and has a reputable workshop programme which is very popular in many different schools. We endeavour to make a better and more colourful cultural atmosphere in Stockport and Manchester in 2012 with the support and cooperation of the Stockport Council.
Jin Long Chinese Martial Arts Academy was established in 1999 by Master Chen Deqing, a genuine 5th level Wushu master from Kaifeng, Henan Province, Mainland China.
The main form of martial art Master Chen teaches is wushu, more commonly known as kung fu, which has been increasingly brought to people’s attention by film stars such as Jet Li, and films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero. He also teaches Chen Style Tai Chi and free-fighting (San Shou / Yi Quan).
As well as entertainment performances, the club is an official member of BCCMA (the British Council for Chinese Martial Arts). We have a history of achievements in the national competitions, holding medals in various categories, and also have a representative of the British Wushu Team who has recently attended the International Wushu Competition in Beijing where he was featured on CCTV broadcast.
