Leung's White Crane Lion & Dragon Dance Association which gives instruction in the White Crane style of the martial arts was founded by the Leung brothers, Kuen Leung, Kwan Leung, and Allen Leung in 1971. The Leung brothers, collectively known as Liang-shih san-chieh, have a life long devotion and interest since childhood in the Lion Dance. In a banquet celebration, one of the brothers related in a speech that as children they were most resourceful in fashioning a lion costume out of a large bamboo-woven basket and tying a blanket to it. They would perform the Lion Dance accompanied by the rhythmic beating on an empty kerosene can. Afterwards, when the three brothers went to Hong Kong, they sought instruction in the White Crane style of martial arts under Master Kwong Bn-fu. In addition they sought out the great exponent of the Lion Dance in Hong Kong, the White Crane style Master, Not only are they martial arts masters but also great proficient and bone-fide master in the Lion Dance. With great devotion, energy and enthusiasm they coach and train their performers in the newest and latest development in the Lion Dance. In addition, they are both leaders and contributors in the development and interpretation of new skills and techniques in the Lion Dance.
