CHINESE MARTIAL ARTS AND SELF-DEFENSE

THE WAY

The Way (道) is to ensure students grow in their martial skills using the safest methods.

Like the martial artist of old, we come with an open mind, the willness to learn, and the determination to improve.

We have no egos. We have no belts. We train outdoors.

THE WORK

The master (师傅 or Sifu) is also a lifelong student. The art of modern wushu (kungfu) and traditional Shaolin martial arts has no boundaries on what can be explored - mind, body and spirit.

Chinese Wushu (武 "Wu" = military or martial, 術 "Shu" = art) is what we teach. This is often known in the West as "kungfu". The curriculumn includes:

• Full body warm-up
• Modern Wushu combinations - the fundamentals
• Northern Longfist (長拳 - Chángquán)
• Shaolin Luohan Quan (羅漢/罗汉 拳)
• Shaolin Da Hong Quan (大洪拳)
• Flexibility and restoration
