Kung Fu Kids

Shaolin Kung Fu is a Chinese martial art form emphasizing strength, balance, coordination, flexability, and aerobic activity. This is an ideal way for young people to gain physical fitness, while releasing their boundless energy with kicks & blocks, stances & strikes. Founded in the 6th Century, Shaolin Kung Fu has been called "the martial art against which all other martial arts are measured."

Kung Fu For Teens

Xing Yi Quan (pronounces sheeng-eee-chwan)- "Mind/Form" or "Shape/Will Boxing"-is characterized by bursts of explosive power geared to supercharge one's internal energy. The sequence of forms imitates the fighting spirit and movements of twelve different animals. Emphasis is also placed upon the various postures of the fist (splitting, pounding, crossing, drilling, and cannon). The training methods allow each student to progress through increasing challenges in form sequences, timing, and fighting strategy.
