Your Trusted Martial Arts School in Milwaukee Since 1991
Rising Dragon Martial Arts was founded in 1991 by Grandmaster Daniel K. Pai, who synthesized multiple kung fu systems into the Pai Lum style. Our school continues this legacy through the leadership of Sigung Steve Jungmann and Sigung Melodie Jungmann, who teach traditional and innovative martial arts including Pai Lum Kung Fu, White Lotus Kenpo, Pai Yang Tai Chi, and San Shou Kickboxing. We emphasize a holistic approach to training that combines physical skill development with character education, rooted in values like honor, courage, and compassion. Our intergenerational family classes foster community bonds while teaching self-defense techniques, stress reduction, and health improvement.With over three decades of service to Milwaukee, we have trained law enforcement agencies and performed demonstrations at major cultural events. Our curriculum integrates external martial arts forms with internal practices like chi ball massage and acupressure healing. Students of all ages benefit from structured programs tailored to their developmental needs, from Pee Wee Dragons (ages 4-6) to adult practitioners. We maintain rigorous standards for advancement, requiring parental verification of character development before promotions. Our affiliation with the White Lotus Association reinforces our commitment to ethical martial arts practice and international fellowship.
