Wushu (Kung Fu) is the proper term for all the martial arts styles in China. It has been practiced in China for thousands of years.Wushu consists of tens of thousands of different External and Internal styles including both bare hands and weapons. Some of the well known external styles are Shaolinquan, Chaquan, Hongquan, Fanziquan and many others. The well known internal styles are Taichi, Bagua, Xingyi, and Water style. Wushu has become a popular international sport that all people can learn and use to attain its inherent benefits. Aside from a means of self-defense, Wushu has also been developed into a sport capable of improving a participant's health and fitness, while improving their reaction time, jumping ability, balance, flexibility, coordination, power, and speed. Even athletes from other sports are taking up Wushu training to complement their physical pursuits and to improve the quality of their performance. Today, Wushu is also a performing art. The performance of a superb Wushu participant can captivate and mesmerize an audience.

Wushu basics are the foundation for learning all the other external and internal styles offered in our school curriculum. It also sets good foundation for learning all kinds of martial arts.

At our school, we feel that although the ability to defend oneself is important, there are far more important benefits to be had from enrolling your child in our Kung Fu program.
Every movement in Kung Fu training is designed to in-crease the body's potential. It is necessary for the muscles and tendons to be flexible in order to achieve this goal.
Our program of stretching, strength-building, and reaction training produces quick results in a developing child. This training not only develops a child's coordination in Kung Fu, but improves their performance in any sport or physical pursuit.
Although self-defense is the foundation of Kung Fu, we are very careful to teach children that Kung Fu is not to be used outside the class in any manner, other than in true self-defense.
By embodying the above principles into our Children and Young Adult Kung Fu classes, we have made a strong commitment to the development of today'syouth.
