Benefits of Kung Fu Training:

“A perfectly conditioned body without development of the mind is like a high-performance sports car with no driver”

All martial arts have benefits. Some concentrate on aerobic exercise and strengthening of the muscles, others focus on developing the mind and spirit. And some just work on self-defense applications.

At American Kung Fu Academy, we have all of these things and so much more!

Improve Physical Health \ Lose Weight \ Increase Energy

Life is full of demanding activities on the body. Simple tasks like walking up a flight of stairs can leave us winded. Finding the energy to go through our daily routine can be quite exhausting. Our program will increase your stamina which will help you take on your busy schedule more easily.

Traditional Hand Forms are a series of prearranged movements that have been handed down by the ancient masters to serve as a living encyclopedia of self-defense maneuvers and secret techniques. However, many people overlook the actual physical conditioning that the forms afford the practitioner. Indeed, Kung Fu is perhaps one of the best aerobic exercise regimens devised by man. The cardiovascular system is thoroughly worked. Muscular development is enhanced. Respiratory functions are increased, and overall health is maintained and heightened. In short, you become healthier, youthful and more energetic!

Self – Defense

Kung Fu is one of the oldest and most proven methods of self-defense created by man. Many martial arts depend on only one theory of defense (i.e. punching and kicking; grappling on the ground; or joint locks and throws.) We believe that in order to protect yourself more efficiently, you have to be familiar with all these different levels of engagement. We teach practical escapes and realistic defenses that can be mastered by everyone. Truly, Kung Fu is the ultimate method of self-defense.

Mental Focus

Whether you are a busy professional or a child in school, focus and concentration are tools that are needed throughout your life. Kung Fu has been used as a method of training the mind to focus for centuries. Focus and awareness are enhanced through exercises that require the mind and body to work as one.

A Fun Art Form!

Many people fall in love with the artistic movements of Kung Fu and the Chinese culture from which it evolved. Indeed, no other martial art is as flowing and expressive as Kung Fu. Here at American Kung Fu Academy, we give you a “taste of China” like no other program!
