Services
Based on age, each progressive program is designed to completely prepare the student for graduation into the next level. Kung Fu Kids - designed for 4 to 9 year olds to improve listening skills, work on gross motor skills and FUN! Basic Kung Fu Program - designed for 9 to 13 year olds to introduce basic skills like punching, kicking, self defense, form work and stretching.
The Kung Fu Kids Program is for children 4 years and up. The main focus of each class is on listening skills, that there are rules, and consequences for not following them, and lots of fun and hard work. Each 45 minute long class is designed to keep your child engaged and working to the best of their ability.
The Basic Program is for students that are 8 and older that have either graduated from the Kung Fu Kids Program or are new incoming students. Each 45 minute long class focuses on a variety of warmups, memorization of basic form/pattern work, self defense applications, line training for punching and kicking, body weight exercises and stretching routines that will provide a fun and challenging experience.
The Advanced Kung Fu Program is for incoming students who are 13 years and up or for graduating Basic Program Students. This is where exposure to Traditional Authentic Kung Fu training begins. Whereas the Basic Program focus is on memorization and shape, the Advanced Program focus is on Substance; solid stance work, body connection, hand and arm conditioning and cardio.

Jerry is so great with all the kids! My son absolutely loves to go to his Kung Fu class. Jerry is extremely patient with all his students...I love to go with my son and watch how much he and the other students learn as time goes by! If you’re considering Martial arts for your kiddos, I highly recommend this studio. We will be lifelong members!

Both of my sons are part of this disciplined and respectful community. They have grown so much. The program helps them take pride in themselves and our small town community, it has helped them remain fit, and gain control over their emotions and thinking, and understand what it takes to master something. In this day and age of quick gratification, patience, persistence, practice--I am so grateful for this program, the teacher, and the community of dedicated students. Highly recommend!

Sifu Jerry Martin changed my life for the better when I signed on 8 years ago and I could not be happier that I stayed. This school lead me to my career as an acupuncturist and brought me to a much better place mentally, physically and spiritually. I'm proud to be associated with this school and am so impressed by my teacher's ability to improve himself and encourage his students to do so. I would recommend this to anyone, young or old, big or small. Trust me, it will help you no matter what you're looking for.

I have been with Sifu Jerry Martin for a little over two years now. He has been a great teacher, mentor and friend to me since I moved here for school. He goes beyond just teaching about the physical aspect of kung fu but also the mental aspect that has been an important part of my life. I couldn't ask for a better teacher!
