2024 Class Schedule

 Our curriculum for children aged 3 to 6 focuses on cultivating concentration, discipline, and improving physical fitness. Activities such as running, jumping, crawling, rolling, kicking, and punching are incorporated for comprehensive strength training in areas like legs, arms, and waist to promote overall physical development. Furthermore, our program includes the teaching of martial virtues in a friendly environment. We instill values such as unity, respect, bravery, confidence, courage, discipline, and integrity, aiming to shape their character and instill moral principles. This holistic training not only contributes to the children's physical well-being but also enhances their overall literacy and social skills.
 

 At the Shaolin Kung Fu Chan Academy, we offer classes tailored for students aged 7 to 12. Each day, we organize two classes: a beginner's class and an advanced version. In the beginner's class, we place a strong emphasis on fundamental training for children, covering techniques such as fist forms, kicking methods, stretching, speed, and strength exercises. Additionally, we instill values of courtesy, discipline, humility, and respect to foster a well-rounded development in our young students. As students progress to the intermediate class, they have acquired basic skills in forms and weapons. They will continue their journey by learning Shaolin staff forms, knife techniques, dagger skills, double sticks, Shaolin spear techniques, and practical combat techniques. In the advanced version, students will delve into more challenging techniques, including side flips, back handsprings, backflips, front flips, and other demanding exercises. These advanced training sessions are designed to enhance flexibility and technical proficiency, providing students with both challenges and enjoyment on their martial arts journey. 

 In the martial arts classes at the Shaolin Kung Fu Chan Academy for youth and adults, we emphasize the holistic development of students' physical and mental qualities. The exhilarating kickboxing classes not only enhance cognitive responsiveness but also cultivate physical coordination, flexibility, and agility. By correcting tendencies towards fragility and fostering resilience, students showcase enhanced poise in daily life, bravely confronting challenges and threats.

Delving into the study of the 1,500-year-old martial art of Shaolin weaponry, students immerse themselves in the ancient Kung Fu tradition, elevating their skill levels and connecting with the historical depth. This goes beyond a mere skill; it's a reverence for cultural heritage, providing an opportunity to engage in a dialogue with history.

The emphasis on martial virtues, courtesy, humility, and respect in the curriculum becomes pivotal in shaping character. Students grasp that the power of sports lies not only in physical strength but also in the elevation of the soul. Through humility and respect for others, they evolve into individuals of greater depth, integrating these moral principles into every facet of life.

In this journey at the Shaolin Kung Fu Chan Academy, both youth and adults will not only become excellent martial artists but will also, under the enchantment of sports, achieve greater resilience, tolerance, and a sense of responsibility for themselves.

 Tai Chi, an ancient Chinese internal martial art system, is a profound synthesis of principles, theories, and martial techniques. Its slow, soft, and seamlessly flowing movements may seem enigmatic at first glance, but it is the intricate cultivation of internal energy, mindfulness, and physical body that renders it truly unique and challenging. At its core, Tai Chi is a holistic practice that transcends the boundaries of mere physical exercise. The deliberate nature of its movements demands more than just external precision; it necessitates a deep connection between the practitioner's internal and external selves. This integration of mind, body, and breath serves as the cornerstone of Tai Chi's effectiveness. The practice of Tai Chi requires practitioners to enter a state of profound concentration, fostering a heightened awareness of the present moment. The focused mind becomes a key ally in the journey, guiding each movement with intention and mindfulness. As individuals delve into Tai Chi, they embark on a transformative exploration of self-discovery and balance. Beyond its martial applications, Tai Chi becomes a moving meditation, promoting mental clarity, emotional well-being, and a deep sense of inner peace. It is this comprehensive approach that elevates Tai Chi to not just a martial art but a path to overall well-being, embodying the ancient wisdom and artistry of Chinese culture. 

Stretching & Self-defense is a class offered to adults who are interested in morning exercise. The exercise is easy but relaxing at the same time. It helps freshen up the body and mind in the early morning.
