Seven Star Kung-Fu
You may know Kung-Fu because of Bruce Lee. However, it actually dated back thousands of years before him. It is an ancient Chinese martial art that brings self defense, confidence, discipline and conditioning to its students. We will teach Northern and Southern styles with Shaolin and animal forms. Kung-Fu training includes stances, stretching, conditioning, meditation/relaxation (Tai-Chi) and forms. All classes are always taught in a safe environment. Students through dedicated training can move up in belt levels. In Kung-Fu students start with no belt and have to earn there first belt which is a white belt. There is a criterion that a student must learn to test for a new belt level. Students go at their own pace in belt progression. Receiving the belt is a great symbol of the learning but most of all it is the personal gain in health, mind, body and spirit which is the ultimate satisfaction. Our professional staff of decorated teachers can’t wait to share their passion
