Self defense techinques

Wutang Mountain Kung Fu
Wutang Kung Fu focuses on trapping your opponent. With names like Hawk, Tiger Springs from Den and Dragon, these techniques are remarkable sources for learning and mastering crucial self defense principles. The techniques are very short and extremely effective for personal protection.

Shaolin Kung Fu
Shaolin forms are another aspect of our training. Forms, fighting techniques linked together in a kind of fighter's dance, help to develop muscle memory, hand-eye coordination and focus. Some of these forms date back almost 1000 years.

Chin-Na (Joint Locks & Manipulation)
Chin-Na is the study of how to control your opponent using joint locks to limit mobility. Chin-Na also teaches how to attack pressure points and other sensitive parts of the body with strikes, grabs and other techniques.

Chinese Chin-Na is the root of the Japanese arts of Jujitsu and Aikido, and practitioners use the study of Chin-Na to increase understanding of the theory and principles of their own arts.

Chi Sao (Sticky Hand Kung Fu)
There are many names for this training and hundreds of styles employ it in their programs. It's a wonderful art where opponents play for superior position and find the perfect opportunity to push (or attack) your opponent.

PHILOSOPHY

"Although we train to be warriors, we are not a school of fighters, but individuals developing the confidence and skill to resolve problems without physical conflict."

MIND, BODY, CHI We are a school not only of body, but of mind and spirit. Philosophy, which is neither incongruent nor conflicting with anyone's personal religion, is crucial for balanced training. It helps align the student with the self and brings clarity of purpose. Individuals who are philosophically oriented are more likely to handle conflict peacefully and confidently. art of war More important than how to kick and punch is when to use physical force and what level of force to use. Not all attacks are kill moves. Learn how to use your skill for different purposes and how to avoid conflict in the first place.

safety
In today's lifestyle, many people can't risk hardcore martial arts training and injury. Our style accommodates all fitness levels because of the emphasis on technique, body mechanics and overall health. Like many of our long-time students, we want you to train with us for years and decades to come.
