At the USA Wu Chi Kung Fu Academy, it is our goal to help you or your child realize the benefits of training in Chinese Kung Fu by providing a complete and comprehensive program that includes training in the following:

External Styles

Characterized by their explosive power and speed, and the unique aesthetics of various open hand and weapon forms, excellent for both children and adults. Practitioners of external style Martial Arts learn better body control and coordination, and through vigorous training, increase their muscular power and flexibility. Children will develop discipline, motivation, patience, humility and respect for each other; and equally important, will enjoy enormously the pleasure of learning to perform different animal routines such as snake, tiger, eagle, crane, monkey, horse, preying mantis etc.

Internal Styles

Characterized by softness and circularity, rooted in ancient Taoist philosophy, emphasizing the balance of Yin and Yang, soft and hard, light and dark, feminine and masculine, the inner and the outer. The Internal Styles as exemplified by Tai Chi, Hsing Yi, Bagua, and Water Style, are at once a healing and martial art. Tai Chi or Taijiquan, for example, combines movement and Chi (energy) circulation, breathing, and stretching techniques in its training. The experience of hundreds of years has shown that practicing Tai Chi Chuan can improve one's health, reduce tension, and cure a number of ailments such as high blood pressure, arthritis, asthma, stomach illness, heart problems, and nervousness. The same techniques for developing internal Chi for use in combat, prove also to be effective in promoting long life, healing, and rejuvenation. Today, Tai Chi Chuan is practiced by millions of people around the world for its health benefits.

Qi Gong
(Chi K'ung)

Qi (Chi) is a Chinese term used to refer to all types of energy fueling and invigorating the human body. It is sometimes translated as "life force". Qigong is the art of using breath, posture, movement, and/or sound to cleanse, refine, store, and circulate Qi in one's body. This leads to improved health, transformation of consciousness, and greater power for martial training and application. Qigong training in our school comprises: Medical Qigong for health / Emitting and Absorbing Qigong / Taoist Qigong / Buddhist Qigong / Wushu Qigong

San Shou

Sanshou is Chinese free fighting. The ultimate goal is to train and develop the complete martial artist so that he or she is skilled in long and short range fighting, striking, grappling, throwing and pressure point striking. Students learn to employ both external (physical) and internal power, and develop total control over their own mind and body.
