Longtime River Hill resident Dr. Ping Mao is an award‑winning instructor, former collegiate martial arts champion, and international Tai Chi and Qi Gong champion.
Tai Chi is a science‑supported, low‑impact form of exercise suitable for people of all ages and physical conditions. Research shows that regular practice can reduce the risk of falls; support cardiovascular and cognitive health; and help alleviate back pain, asthma, COPD and symptoms related to breast cancer, dementia, Alzheimer disease, depression, high blood pressure, arthritis and Parkinson’s disease. It also strengthens the immune system and promotes overall well‑being.
Standing Tai Chi focuses on rejuvenating forms and routines that boost daily energy, support body–mind harmony, promote internal organ health and encourage calming standing meditation. Moving Tai Chi introduces mindful walking and smooth, martial arts–inspired movements that create a flowing “moving meditation.”

The GOSU Institute of Chinese Martial Arts offers class instruction on weeknights at The Meeting Room next to the outdoor pool in River Hill. Traditional and Modern Kung Fu is offered. Modern Kung Fu (or Wushu) is an acrobatic and athletic version of traditional Kung Fu that was created for performance and competition. Practitioners of this style include movie stars Jet Li and Donnie Yen. Traditional Kung Fu focuses on self-defense, combat, and improvement of health. This fusion of Chinese Martial Arts helps to retain tradition while also providing a great work-out!

Coach Ching-Yin Lee has trained in Chinese Martial Arts for 24 years, which includes experience in Traditional Southern Style Kung Fu, Modern Wushu (Northern and Southern Style), Tai Chi Chuan, Xing Yi Quan, Yi Quan, and boxing. His central teachers include Dr. Lee (Fu Ying Quan She Tai Club), Coach Anthony Sims (O-Mei Wushu/Kung Fu Center), and Master Lu Xiaolin (OMei Wushu/Kung Fu Center). He is a two-time U.S. Wushu Team Member and double medalist at the Pan American Wushu Games.

GOSU Martial Arts aims to deliver high quality martial arts for an affordable, low price. All levels of classes are offered. GOSU develops the students’ mind, body and character!
