Discover Focus, Confidence, & Fun in Adult Kung Fu Classes

We teach self-defense with traditional fighting techniques, empty hand forms, weapon forms, and sparring. We focus on Tien Shan Pai Kung Fu.

These lessons are not just about fighting; they teach balance, rhythm, and how to bring your mind and body together. When you focus on these skills, you get quicker reactions and a better sense of space. This is very useful, especially since many of us spend so much time sitting or using digital devices. You will gain skills in confidence, respect, and self-worth. Our training helps you build fitness and strength while having fun.

Who Can Join?

This program is for mature teenagers (ages 16 or older) and adults. It is perfect for those who prefer classes without younger children. Everyone is welcome to learn and grow together.

Practice Improves Focus, Agility, and Flexibility

You will learn traditional Tien Shan Pai Kung Fu. These include offensive techniques, basic punches, kicks and other strikes. This also includes defensive techniques like joint locking, escapes, and defensive footwork. You will practice both single and two-person empty-hand forms along with weapon forms. With regular practice, these movements become muscle memory. This means you can rely on your instincts when you need them. You will also see improvements in focus, fitness, agility, flexibility, and confidence!

Spar and Train with Weapons to Better Coordination and Reflexes

At the green belt/sash level, you begin with light contact sparring wearing protective equipment. Light contact sparring builds confidence, experience, and skills in a safe way. It helps you sharpen your coordination.  At this level, you also start training with a short staff. Although you do not need a weapon in everyday life, practicing with one improves hand–eye coordination and body awareness.

Building Patience and Persistence

Even though everyday life doesn’t need you to be a weapon expert, practicing with weapons is more than just a look back at old times. It helps you improve your hand–eye coordination, which makes everyday tasks easier. It also builds your body control so you can move with more confidence.

Practicing with weapons takes lots of repetition. This repetition teaches you to be patient and to keep trying, even if it seems hard at first. This slow and steady progress is a lesson you can use in other parts of your life, like learning new skills or solving everyday problems.

Grow and Explore New Skills

At the blue belt/sash level, you practice forms with a partner, simulating combat. Later, you will learn more advanced forms and weapon techniques. By the time you reach the black sash level, you will use other weapons like a broadsword, long staff, and spear. Students progress at their own pace with regular class attendance and practice at home.

Flexible Class Options

The early afternoon adult classes are 45 long, as most students are making time in their busy day. Our evening Adult Classes are 1 hour classes. Every class starts with stretching and a warm-up to get you ready. This extra time helps you feel energized and focused.

As with all our programs, you can choose how many classes per week you want to attend. You are not limited to the same day each week.
