Qi Gong - Qi Gong is breathing and stretching exercises based on traditional Chinese medicine and practicing these exercises can dramatically improve your health. Systematically stretch and strengthen every part of your body. Link your breath and movement while you calm your mind.

Tai Chi - Start with learning the first section of the Tai Chi form and improve your health, balance, energy level while relieving stress, making new friends, and having fun. As you progress, you can also learn Tai Chi Sword and Tai Chi Push Hands, which is a stand-up grappling game where both players attempt to use their Tai Chi moves to off balance the other. This safe exercise is a great way to improve your Tai Chi, especially your stances and balance and to learn practical self-defense skills. Push hands is also super fun, and you can compete with our team, if you choose, at local tournaments. Tai Chi Sword helps take your strength, balance, and body awareness to a new level and is also beautiful to perform.


Kung Fu - This Kung Fu class includes Northern Shaolin, Xing Yi Quan, sparring, partner forms and self-defense. Northern Shaolin is extremely athletic with high and flying kicks, ultra-low ground sweeps, acrobatic tumbling and ground rolling, long low stances, and all the classical Kung Fu weapons. Xing Yi Quan is a power punching style providing excellent practical fighting skills and great health benefits. During each class we also practice partner forms and sparring. Partner forms are pre-choreographed fights practiced with a partner to develop self-defense skills with and without weapons. Build your skills in this safe and closely supervised program where everyone learns control and accuracy. New students begin with systematic and extensive training in dodging, covering up, and footwork to guarantee excellent defensive skills. As students progress, they learn to use and defend against all levels of kicking, trips, throws, joint locks, and ground defenses.


Note: Please wear loose non branded workout clothes or uniform. Flat shoes with soft soles like skateboarding shoes are ideal. Bring your own water bottle and hand towel.
