What is the School of the Macabees?
The Macabee program is headed by Master Instructor Jacob Lunon. We started as an after-school project and have grown into a productive and positive community building venue. Our purpose is to promote a healthy body and mind through the the training programs of White Dragon Kung Fu and The Yoga of Damo .

What Are the Four Precepts of Training Programs Kung Fu?
Stand as still as a mountain.
Be as quiet as a forest.
Move like the wind.
When facing evil, be as fierce as fire.

How long does the class run?
The program runs in three-month cycles. At the end of each cycle there is a promotional test for those who have met all the challenges and requirements and attendance (The cycle that begins in September is four months long due to the high holidays). The student must attend at least two out of a choice of four classes a week in order to be considered for testing at the end of each cycle.

What is Yoga of Damo?
Structured from the foundations of Hatha yoga and the Chinese martial arts, this is a total fitness program for everyone regardless of age or physical condition. Its therapeutic postures will increase flexibility, strength, deeper breathing patterns, and healthier functioning of the internal organs (stomach, lungs, kidneys, liver, and heart.)

How long is the Yoga of Damo course?
The training is broken down into five three-month courses. Each session will teach you a part of the complete form for a total body workout while concentrating on one specific area at each level of training.

After completing each level requirement, and being able to perform the form and postures proficiently for that level, you may then opt to repeat the session or test to advance to the next level of training. After 15 months, a student instructor program is offered to the graduate who wishes to continue on and teach the Yoga of Damo form.
