About Me
- Alex Lamas
- For 17 years I have studied Fu Jow Pai (Tiger Claw System) and have been involved with the martial arts since the age of 12. In 1996 I enrolled in the Fu Jow Pai system under Master Shue Yiu Kwan and have taken classes with Grand Master Wai Hong. In 2001 I became an instructor at Kwan’s Kung Fu. Other systems that I have studied are Tai Chi, Tae Kwon Do, Judo and Shotokan Karate. For me martial arts are as much about self-defense as it is about self-expression. We train our bodies to express ourselves authentically. So we learn martial arts to know ourselves and express who we are. I teach the student not the system and I never teach the same way for each person. Each is an individual and must be taught according to his or her own talents. As a Kung Fu instructor, I’ve been able to bring my program to schools, camps and I’ve also taught Kung Fu to autistic children and adults. In addition, I’m a member of the Kwan’s Kung Fu Lion Dance Team and a fight choreographer for stage and film. I attained a B.A. in Cultural Anthropology from Purchase College. I currently teach in Pleasantville and Tarrytown, NY.
