YMAA will be performing Kung Fu and Tai Chi at Boston GreenFest 2009 on August 22nd, 2009. Look for us in the morning stage performances.

Classes at YMAA Boston will be cancelled for this day, Saturday, August 22nd.

We will perform Tai Chi and Kung Fu, including Shaolin barehand, staff, sword, saber, and many more. This year's demo is being held to help promote a greener world. GreenFest educates the public about how to make the world a better place through recycling and proper waste disposal, better nutrition and health, encouraging a green economy, and taking a voice in promoting a greener, safer community.

Yang's Martial Arts Association celebrates its 27th year in Boston. Located in Jamaica Plain, we have promoted and trained traditional Chinese Kung Fu in the styles of Shaolin White Crane and Long Fist, and Yang-Style Taijiquan for almost 3 decades. Conceptualized, established, and realized by renowned author and master Dr. Yang, Jwing-Ming, YMAA is an international martial arts organization and community that embraces traditional training, self-discipline, and martial morality in over 40 schools in 18 countries.
