Kung Fu Chiang Mai, operating as Kerliang Healing Arts Center, teaches Tibetan Kung Fu, Qi Gong, and Tai Chi Chuan from a family lineage spanning over 600 years. The centre has been established in Chiang Mai since 1981 and is currently led by Master Jade, the seventh-generation heir. Courses range from beginner to teacher certification level, covering internal energy cultivation, mindfulness, and physical conditioning. The teaching is personalised and holistic, treating Kung Fu as a path of body, mind, and spirit rather than purely a martial art.
