Authorized academy · Ying Jow Pai International
Mastery earned over time. Traditional Kung Fu and Tai Chi Chuan in San Lorenzo, for all ages.
We are Ying Jow Pai Paraguay, an academy devoted to preserving the tradition of Garra de Águila Kung Fu and Tai Chi. We are not after immediate perfection: we are after constant progress. We are a martial family where knowledge is handed down from one generation to the next to strengthen the body, the mind and the spirit.
This style comes from direct teaching, master to student. We respect the lineage and we train as a community. Because Kung Fu is not only a martial art: it is a discipline for daily life.
The academy is led by Sifu Gisell Acosta and Sifu Héctor Narváez, who are responsible for teaching Garra de Águila in Paraguay. They personally pass on the system they received from their master, Sifu Darío Acosta.
Our lineage
Garra de Águila is not learned from a manual: it is received from a master. This is the line of transmission the academy follows.
Record of succession · twelve generations
Kids and grown-ups train side by side. Kung Fu brings generations together.
Our students reached the podium at the National Tournament of the Federación Paraguaya de Kung Fu.
Classes from age 5: children, teens, adults, and Tai Chi for every age.
Our disciplines
Three paths, one school. We send you the exact schedules on WhatsApp.
Training in self-defense and traditional techniques that strengthen both body and mind. This is not a gym: this is Kung Fu.
A discipline that reduces stress, sharpens concentration and brings inner peace. Stepping onto the tatami means leaving the noise behind.
Classes for children from age 5, built around values that matter for life. The sifus guide a process that is gradual and shared with the whole group.
What happens every week at the academy and on @garradeaguilapy.

“Every student brings Kung Fu into daily life. Kung Fu is mastery earned over time. It is discipline for every day.”
“Sharing the stage with the greats of sport at EXPO 2026. The academy shows its commitment to discipline and to national sports development.”
