KUNG FU

Kung Fu, which translates as “hard work,” is one of the oldest martial arts with its origins dating back to 4th century China. In our classes, you will learn proper techniques of breathing, stretching, hand-to-hand combat, and ancient Chinese forms.

Kung Fu is a great form of exercise that supports increased strength, flexibility, balance, and agility while helping to shed excess weight, stress, and anxiety. With regular practice it can increase your confidence, self-esteem, focus, and memory while producing a calmness of mind.

Like other martial studies, many consider its ultimate goal to be self-defense. Yet, the study of Kung Fu is much more than the mere art of fighting. It is an art that seeks to develop balance of the mind, body, character, and soul. Kung Fu does not teach that we should seek to overcome others. Rather, it is an internal discipline of focus, teaching us control of our bodies and emotions, which are key to movement and the execution of technique.

We should always be peaceful and avoid combat. However, if faced with a situation that threatens severe bodily harm or injury, the soul should become the warrior, capable of defending itself.
