Maybe I'll try a few meetups first to gauge my comfort level before committing to a full course.

Or check out a local Hong Kong forum; they're usually great for uncovering little neighborhood details like that. Someone might have even posted photos of it years ago. Good luck with your kung fu master hunt!
