Kids Kung Fu info
In today’s world of chaos and bullies it’s becoming more important than ever that children and teens have the skills to defend themselves if necessary. The body is a very powerful weapon when used correctly and responsibly.
In our classroom, your child will develop skills like respect, focus, coordination, discipline, concentration, and confidence, all while learning self-defense in a positive, fun, and secure environment.
We emphasize building strong family connections while teaching a genuine martial art that is both practical and enjoyable. Our system features traditional Shaolin animal techniques, including monkey, dragon, and stork styles, each integrating full-body movements such as footwork, strikes, kicks, and takedowns. We also preserve ancient temple forms passed down through thousands of years.
Skills and values taught:
- Practical self-defense - We teach Kung Fu techniques that empower you to protect yourself confidently by responding calmly and decisively in real-world situations.
- Teamwork - Kung Fu training is not just about individual achievement—it’s about community. Through partner drills and group exercises, students develop cooperation, respect, and communication skills that build strong connections both inside and outside the dojo.
- Body awareness - Developing a deep understanding of your body’s movements promotes better coordination and prevents injuries. You’ll learn to move efficiently with precision and grace.
- Coordination - Our dynamic training drills enhance hand-eye coordination and motor skills, supporting athleticism and daily functional movements.
