Our program is specifically designed to introduce your son or daughter to the martial arts of China with an emphasis on co-ordination and self control. The gymnastic nature of this exciting of martial arts form promises to direct youthful energy toward the development of martial arts skill while at the same time offering fitness, resilience and discipline. Children of all levels of skill are welcome regardless of their current physical ability. Increased self confidence is often a result of the training as all students are treated with respect and encouraged according to their own ability. The increase in self confidence, improved concentration and co-ordination becomes evident in kids in a few weeks of training with us.
Though not a requirement, members interested in tournament competition or performances are encouraged to participate in these events when the Instructors feel the student is ready.
Though traditionally our student population consisted of children and young adults, we are happy to see that our mature population is growing with Men and women of all ages joining us looking for a fun exercise and self defense, without worrying about black eyes and broken teeth.
Many of our adult students have told us they always wanted to train in martial arts at some time or another but due to lack of time, money, or other reasons they never did. Others have had some training in the past but had to quit for one reason or another. It is never too late to start or resume training. We offer training for beginners in the traditional styles of Ping Kwon Do, Kung Fu, Tai Chi Chuan depending on your personal goals. Whether the goal is weight loss, self defense, stress reduction, increasing muscular flexibility or just plain fun we have programs for you. Many of our students have come to us for cross-training purposes to increase flexibility or endurance for other sport activities. Though never required, those with an eye towards competition may have an interest in training for martial arts tournament competition.
Our classes are based on the premise that one must be in control of him or herself before they can extend control to others for the purpose of self defense. Self control is developed through traditional training methods.
PLEASE NOTE: Our students do not engage in free sparring as a means of developing fighting skill. Our goal is to develop full power punches and kicks in a unique way using muscle memory. Self defense drills with a partner are also used to help develop reflex response.
Flexible scheduling includes weeknights, Saturdays and Sundays as well as private instructions to accommodate more difficult schedules.
Our mission is to help members build confidence, discipline, focus, physical/mental strength, and learn self-defence skills. We treat our members, as we like to be treated.
