Types of Martial arts

Kung Fu (Wushu) in Detail

In Chinese culture, the correct modern term for Chinese Martial Arts would be Wushu (Kung Fu is an older terminology for the same definition). The Wushu is basically using the body's own natural movements to work on building the natural Martial Arts Techniques. What makes Wushu so different from other martial arts is that it focuses on the entire body's fitness, not just merely punching and kicking (Karate and Tai Kwan Do). We have to remember that other Far East martial arts are all originated from Shaolin Kung Fu, they are just variants of the same techniques in Shaolin Kung Fu. An old American saying stated this: "It takes three clones to beat the original". Therefore, why learn the cloned martial arts (like Karate and Tai Kwan Do) while you can just come down to Chinese Martial Art School and learn the completely original techniques. View our student page and entertainment page to see testimonies from students about how easy it is for a black belt in Kung Fu to beat a black belt in Karate in Martial Art Competition.

Practitioners of modern wushu focus on lightning-quick-form technique, combined with unbelievable jumping ability to give them an edge at any martial arts competition. Modern Wushu takes the basics of Kung Fu and its leg work to the next level in terms of the complexity of training. Our students have competed and won many events and tournaments. We take great pride in our Wushu ability. You are welcome to challenge us in martial art if you dare! (note: we take no responsibility in any injury you might sustain in a challenge with us)

Tai Chi in Detail

Tai Chi is a moving form of meditation where precision movements and controlled breathing are synchronized to enable the practitioner to flow with the direction of energy in and around the body. Tai Chi has beneficial effects similar to those of western aerobic exercise, minus the stresses and strains. This could account for its recent surge in popularity in the West.

Tai Chi offers a variety of quality of life benefits, such as improved cognitive ability, decreased levels of anxiety, depression, stress, and muscular tension, improved circulation, speed of rehabilitation following surgery, injury, or serious illness, and enhanced energy combined with an overall sense of well being. Master Yung Chi Chung is also well known for his teachings of Tai Chi.If you would like more information or schedule for a private lesson please contact us throgh any of the 3 branches that are available.

Chi Kung in Detail

In Chinese, "Chi" is the energy that circulates throughout the body, and "kung" translates into "work". Chi Kung is the martial art that increases the body's vital energy, and strengthen the circulation of this energy. Mastering Chi Kung can help maintain the balance in the distribution of body's energy.

Throughout every aspect of nature, there are always two counterparts. When these two counterparts are in balance, the nature is then in perfect harmony. In the Chinese culture, the theory of Yin & Yang pair is used most often to describe this. For every plus there exists a minus, for hotness there exists coldness, for darkness there must be light, and for every good there exists evil. Of course, this is an oversimplification of Chi Kung. Its depth and complexity could fill volumes of book, and could take centuries for scholars to fully comprehend it just by reading it. Therefore, it is definitely something which should be experienced, rather than only read about.

Modern Chi Kung can be a powerful tool in the fight against various illness, and can also be an exercise that maintain body health. Practitioners of Chi Kung have the ability to redistribute and focus the body energy, or CHI - the source of our strength, from one area to another area. Chi Kung can, therefore, reroute excess body energy from where body need it the least to where body need it the most, and thus achieve balance in metabolism and energy distribution. By achieving harmony in energy balance, the body will be more capable in destroying toxins in the body, reducing stress, and healing ourselves. Chi Kung can then minimize the degeneration of the body's vital organs and help build up the body immune system.

Thus, Chi Kung can be one of the most axial principles in Chinese study of the martial arts. You will become fully aware of the power you posses inside, and you will feel more in control of your own body. There is absolutely nothing more important than health. If you are already healthy, Chi Kung can helps set off a chain reaction of positive thinking that will lead to a successful life. Grand Master Yung Chi Chung is one of the most respected teachers of Chi Kung anywhere. Many people from all over the United States have traveled to take classes from him. He is keeping alive some arts of Chi that considered long lost. A set of Chi Kung classes usually begins every three months. We have the tool of "iron bunches" that are an essential part of the Chi Kung exercises. They are available for sale in the school.

Kick Boxing in detail

Now, Kick Boxing is a pretty popular sport in Asia, and I am sure a lot people know about it. We teach these classes on separate days other than the traditional Kung Fu classes. We do teach self defense and sparring on regular class days, but it completely focused upon during certain days out of the week. We also cannot emphasis enough how we feel about safety at this institute.

Children learn how to succeed at tournament sparring with emphasis placed on good sportsmanship. All children learn how to punch and block in a traditional western boxing fashion. They learn technically advanced kicks and are encouraged to develop what works best for them. They also are drilled extensively on takedowns and throws that involve body locks and leg pick ups. A wrestling class is offered every week that lets them work on their mat skills with heavy emphasis on Freestyle and Greco Roman techniques. The most important idea being conveyed is that of having a strong base to launch all attacks from. The kids have a great time a really enjoy these classes. We make it a point to emphasis SAFETY.

These are great classes for adults interested in all around self defense concepts that are more geared to practical self defense applications. Adults learn Western boxing ring skills and 100% practical kicking techniques. Knees and elbows are also emphasized. In addition to this they learn wrestling techniques that are incorporated into their sparring. Conditioning is extremely important and is constantly worked on. Adults also spar according to the basic rules of Chinese kickboxing (San Shou), meaning that when they compete, they look for leg kicks, while throwing boxing techniques, and finishing with a throw or takedown.
