I wanted to share an incident that happened last week. We went to the
WaterPark at Six Flags last Wednesday, and I had a miscommunication with a
Mom- I asked her to watch my kids while I went on a ride with my husband and
she thought I meant for her to watch Sarah (my youngest) her daughter and she
thought Alexis (age 9) was going with my husband and I. For 30 minutes, no one
knew they were watching Alexis. When I found her (she had only been on her
own for 5 minutes because she actually followed instructions to go back to our
towels and she quickly found Melissa, our eldest, age 12, and went off on
another ride. I asked Alexis if she was scared. She said, "No I was fine. I knew no
one would hurt me because I know Kung Fu!". The place was mobbed!
She has been separated in crowded places before and it usually panics her, so
this is the first time in a while and she had such inner confidence. I can't even
tell you how proud/relieved I was to know she has internalized that she has new
skills to keep herself safe, mentally and physically. It is all a mother could ask for
and I just wanted you guys to know that you are changing these kids' lives in
profound ways- you may not always know it or see it, but I do and am incredibly
grateful for that lifelong gift!!

Classes balance fun and excitement with structure and self control. Many styles
of Kung Fu are based on the movements and behaviors of animals such as the
tiger, eagle, crane, dragon, and praying mantis just to name a few.
Our program incorporates these traditional animal kung fu elements with
practical “life skills”
