Boost Focus, Fitness, Balance, & Confidence Thru Kung Fu & Tai Chi!
Since 1992, US Martial Arts Academy, Ltd. has specialized in teaching children, families, and adults self-defense Chinese Kung Fu and Tai Chi.
Like Karate from Japan, Chinese Kung Fu and Tai Chi are martial arts.


Our programs are designed to help students improve focus, fitness, balance and self-discipline thru Kung Fu & Tai Chi while learning practical self -defense and personal safety.
We strive to schedule our instructors to provide a student-to-teacher ratio of 4:1, so that students get plenty of personal attention and support.
Students may begin our programs whenever they wish.
We do not have set start dates or “semesters”. All students begin with a 4 lesson introductory program which teaches basic moves in the first two lessons and then the student may schedule to join one of the weekday classes in whichever program the student has selected.

Are You Looking for Great Self-Defense for Your Children or Yourself?
We teach two styles of self-defense, Kung Fu and Tai Chi.
Our Tien Shan Pai Kung Fu classes are for three kinds of students, younger children – Kung Fu Kids, a mixed class of older children and some adults – Family Kung Fu, and a separate Adult Kung Fu class.
We also teach Tai Chi classes for Adults. Tai Chi is a no impact version of self-defense where the moves are practiced slowly, but when needed, the same moves sped up will result in effective self-defense techniques.
Any of the Kung Fu or Tai Chi classes will help improve fitness, balance, coordination, strength, attentiveness, flexibility, focus, and memory.
