About this experience
Chinese kung fu has evolved over thousands of years, with Southern-style martial arts known for their close-range strikes and power. This journey takes you to the roots of Bruce Lee’s martial arts—Wing Chun, a Southern Chinese style. Foshan, just an hour from Guangzhou, is the hometown of Grandmaster Ip Man, Bruce Lee’s legendary teacher. Visit Ip Man’s ancestral home to learn how Wing Chun grew from street combat to a global art. Then, train at an authentic Wing Chun academy with one of Ip Man’s direct disciples, learning the "Sun Character Straight Punch" and its core principles. In the afternoon, dive into lion dance, a Southern Chinese tradition blending martial arts, drumming, and lion costumes. After learning its history, enjoy a live show and try it yourself: lift a 3.5kg lion head, hold the horse stance, and learn basic moves. Whether you're coming from Guangzhou, Foshan, or Hong Kong, this hands-on journey into Southern Chinese martial arts is easily within reach.

Interesting and extraordinary
This was one of the best experiences I have had in China so far. The KungFu made me want to take classes, it was so much fun and the instructor was so friendly and willing to share. We learned about Wing Chun at the museum and about Bruce Lee's instructor. If you're interested in history, film and even just martial arts I defnitily recommend doing it. Ivy our tour guide was excellent in taking us through the different exhibits and explaining it to us. My favourite part was probably the Lion Dance, Benny the owner of the establishment shared so much of his knowledge with us and what the different Lion heads mean. We were even able to participate in it and try some of the heads on. The different Lion dances were also interesting to see, and to see how skilled the actual dancers are and how much work goes into their performance.

Unforgettable memories!
This tour was a really cool way to connect with the culture. Getting the opportunity to actually practice our own Kungfu and a professional demonstration of the Wing Chun style in person was impressive. Having our own experience made it way more powerful than seeing it in videos. The Lion Dance was another highlight, especially after learning what it represents. I’ve never seen it before, but this time having the background knowledge made it easier to understand it, which made it way more meaningful. I also liked how the museum tied in Bruce Lee’s influence, and where his skills came from. Our tour guides, were all super helpful and easy to talk to. They explained things clearly and made sure everyone was having a good time. It felt less like a tourist activity and more like being part of something real. Definitely worth it.

A mind blowing cultural experience of Kung Fu and Lion dance.
I had an amazing time learning about IP man and the different types of Kung Fu. We learnt some awesome moves as well. Our tour guide, Ivy, was very friendly and she did an amazing job with helping us understand more about the culture of Kung Fu and Lion Dance. We had our own private lion dance performances and it was definitely something I will remember. I could go on this tour again and it's a lot of fun with friends .
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely feedback! We're so glad you enjoyed learning about Ip Man and different Kung Fu styles—those awesome moves are always a hit! Ivy will be thrilled to hear your kind words. The private lion dance performance is indeed unforgettable, and we’d love to have you and your friends back anytime for another round of fun and culture! 🥋🦁😊

A day in Foshan
Unforgettable day in Foshan! Had the privilege of learning Kung Fu from an Ip Man disciple, following in the footsteps of Bruce Lee. The training was intense and insightful. Afterwards, we explored the vibrant Lion Dance culture, learning about its history and significance. The performances were mesmerizing! A perfect blend of martial arts, culture, and heritage. Highly recommend for anyone interested in Chinese traditions. Not forgetting the delicious Cantonese lunch! Flavors were authentic and dishes were expertly prepared. A satisfying culinary experience
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted you had an unforgettable day walking in the footsteps of Bruce Lee, learning Wing Chun from an Ip Man disciple. It’s always inspiring to see guests connect with Foshan’s rich Kung Fu heritage. We're also glad you enjoyed the lion dance and the authentic Cantonese lunch—truly a full cultural experience. Hope to see you again soon for more martial arts and tradition! 🥋🦁🍜

A Martial Arts Journey Through Foshan.
The day trip to Foshan was really great. We started the journey in the Museum where peered on some artifacts that belonged to Ip Man, Bruce Lee's training. Ivy was walking with us the whole time and she made the walk much more meaningfull. We later went to the Kung-fu Dojo. Where we learned some Kung fu moves. It was quite intriguing to be there and learn Kung fu from one of the descendents of Ip Man. The Master was very happy and with us. We then attended a dragon dance. It was the first time seeing a live dragon dance. It was terrific to see such harmony with the moves live. When they finished, the performers were nice enough to give us their props so we could try it ourselves. My friends and I really had a lot of fun. If you're into Kung-fu and want someone to walk with you in this short journey of learning , then this day trip is definitely for you. I highly recommend
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review! We're so glad you enjoyed the day, especially learning Kung Fu and joining the lively lion dance. Just a small note—it was actually a lion dance, not a dragon dance (easy to mix up!). The lion is operated by two performers and focuses on rhythmic movements, while the dragon involves a longer team holding poles. Either way, we're thrilled you had fun and hope to see you again soon! 🦁✨

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Day Tour learning Kung Fu and Lion Dance in Bruce Lee’s Hometown: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Guangzhou.
How much does Day Tour learning Kung Fu and Lion Dance in Bruce Lee’s Hometown cost?
+
Prices start at $399 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Guangzhou usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Day Tour learning Kung Fu and Lion Dance in Bruce Lee’s Hometown take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Guangzhou is not rushed.
Is Day Tour learning Kung Fu and Lion Dance in Bruce Lee’s Hometown worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Guangzhou, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Day Tour learning Kung Fu and Lion Dance in Bruce Lee’s Hometown?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Day Tour learning Kung Fu and Lion Dance in Bruce Lee’s Hometown suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Day Tour learning Kung Fu and Lion Dance in Bruce Lee’s Hometown?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Guangzhou can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Guangzhou and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Day Tour learning Kung Fu and Lion Dance in Bruce Lee’s Hometown start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Guangzhou within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Guangzhou?
+
On Outty we rank every Guangzhou experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guided Cycle Tour of Guangzhou, All-inclusive Private Day Tour to Mutianyu Great Wall, Guangzhou Tour Guide and Car Service With Flexible Itinerary. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Guangzhou?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Guangzhou?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
