Northern Shaolin Long Fist Kung Fu

Northern Shaolin Kung Fu is the most popular style of Kung Fu in the world.  It is known for its kicking techniques and long-range fighting skills.  In addition to learning self-defense techniques, training in this discipline offers an excellent full body workout.

Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu

Praying Mantis is known for its speed and deceptiveness.  It is regarded as one of the most effective self-defense systems ever created.  Praying Mantis comes from the Shaolin Temple and complements Northern Shaolin Long Fist Kung Fu.  Long Fist is excellent for long-range fighting, while Praying Mantis is advantageous for close-range (joint locking, throws, and powerful limb breaking skills).

Baji Quan Kung Fu

Weaponry (18 Weapons)

There are 18 main categories of weapons that play a major role in Kung Fu.  Gaining specific abilities to wield the various weapons greatly enhances particular skills and attributes used in bare-hand fighting.  Recent classes have included training with Steel Fan, Broadsword, Nunchucks, Short Staff, Long Staff, and Tai Chi Sword.
