With Sifu Steve’s passing in 2019, the helm of MCMAA was bestowed upon Sifu Arlie, who had been a student of the organization since 1990. The Maui Chinese Martial Arts & Lion Dance group focuses on teaching the art of Lum-Style Tai Chi Chuan and Chinese Lion Dance, and continues MCMAA’s legacy of performing at various events.
