Mr. Shibu Francis, Mr. Joshi Francis, Mr. Sumit Ujjan, Mr. Manoj Mhatre, Mr. Ajay Nair, Mr. Shivaji Jadhav, & Mr. Amrut Kumar.Since the members were expert in Martial Art, while concluding the association name, the Chinese tradition was considered and two key aspects where taken that is “Kung-Fu” & “Wushu”.“Kung-Fu” was taken as it refers to any studying, learning, or practice that requires patience, energy, andtime to make it complete.

Since then under its flagship we started delivering an organised teaching and have trained more than 2600 students and every year targeting 300+
