No pre-registration to observe or try a free class is required. If you'd like time to visit with the instructor before class begins, please consider sending a note to Sijo David so he knows to expect you.
Yinglong School of Kung Fu is located in the Marshall Avenue self-defense training space, connected to Rising Sun Martial Arts Supplies (Yinglong is not affiliated with Rising Sun), in the heart of the Twin Cities Metro area.
Yinglong School of Kung Fu
2054 Marshall Avenue
St. Paul, MN 55104
We are at the southeast corner of Marshall Ave and Cleveland Ave.
The formal Yinglong uniform is in the style of the traditional southern Kung Fu uniform: sleeveless black top with white buttons, and black training pants. Students may also opt to train in training pants and a black tank top or sleeveless t-shirt*. The formal uniform is encouraged but not required. It is recommended that training pants be traditional martial arts pants, but any (black colored) comfortable and movable pant is acceptable.
* exceptions to the uniform policy will be made on a case by case basis and are at the sole discretion of Sijo David
Footwear: Students may train barefoot or they may use dedicated training shoes (shoes that will not be used for any other purpose, and may not be worn outside). Training shoes may be martial arts style training shoes or any other comfortable closed-toe shoe. You may choose to wear socks while training but it is not advised due to the slipperiness of the mats.
No hats or other headwear may be worn during training except for religiously prescribed headwear. Hair ties, sweat bands, or bandanas are also allowed.
Loose jewelry (necklaces, bracelets/anklets, rings, piercings) should be removed during training, to avoid damage or injury. We are not responsible for any damage to jewelry worn during training. Fitness trackers may be worn but the wearer takes full responsibility for their protection.
To purchase a uniform top, training pants, or martial arts style training shoes, we recommend contacting Lynn at Rising Sun Martial Arts Supplies (next door to the school), or look online at a site such as this:

School t-shirts are available for purchase. See Sijo David for information.
