Hung stresses: "Most lion dance skills have to do with how you use your hands, move your feet, use your body, your legs, and the like. A lion dancer without a strong grounding in martial arts cannot make a lion come to life. He can't project an imposing air, or show the lion's agility." Lion dancers in Peitou back then all had martial arts training.
洪來旺強調：「舞獅技巧大多由武術的手法、步法、身法、腳法等轉換而來，所以舞者若沒有紮實的武術訓練，便無法將獅的神采、威猛與靈巧充分地表現出來。」
