We study Hua Quan Kung Fu (), a traditional Chinese martial art dating back to the 5th century. Our curriculum includes calisthenics, stretching, and cardio through the practice of forms, weapons, partner drills, and applications. We use drills, isometrics, body weight exercises, and bag work to increase our strength and endurance.
Kid’s Classes
Report
Through the conditioning of our body, we discipline our mind and gain a greater understanding of ourselves. By understanding ourselves, we learn to live in harmony with our emotions and our environment. This cultivation of the whole being gives us the serenity to carry out our life tasks. Though we think of ourselves as a Kung Fu family, Kung Fu is not a team sport.
Tai Chi
Report
Translating to Supreme Ultimate Fist, ' Tai Chi Quan () is a Taoist martial art that is practiced slowly and gently. Some study Tai Chi for its benefits to balance and body awareness. Many find its pursuit of natural relaxation effective in stress-relief. Martial arts students often augment their training with Tai Chi to increase their understanding of body mechanics and energy transfer, making them more solidly-rooted, effective fighters.
Yoga
Report
Change is not something that we should fear. Rather, it is something that we should welcome. For without change, nothing in this world would ever grow or blossom, and no one in this world would ever move forward to become the person they're meant to be. Our yoga classes are relaxed and accessible to students of any level.
Kickboxing
Report
Though training will certainly result in a superb level of physical fitness, it will not necessarily result in the acquisition of extraordinary stamina or superhuman strength. More important, training will result in obtaining a high level of reaction force, concentration, equilibrium, breath control, and speed.
