Essentials for martial arts
Starting right from our introductory class, children and their parents gain insight into how we teach and get a great feel for the school's positive environment. Our curriculum in the on-going kung fu classes then guides children step-by-step through the technical material to develop their martial arts abilities in self-defense and traditional Kung Fu so they can improve their physical fitness, coordination, balance, strength and flexibility. For students who are not inclined towards team sports, the chinese martial arts taught at the Tat Wong Kung Fu Academy offers a great alternative. Often, children who've not been previously interested in sports are intrigued and interested in our kung fu training because of the comraderie our Instructors develop and because Kung Fu is unique and interesting mentally and physically. Kung fu is also interesting and unique for children who are athletic in other areas because kung fu helps increase coordination that will support improvement in other sports. Children not only learn the martial arts skills of kickboxing, self-defense, and traditional kung fu forms, they learn how to set and achieve goals, and how respect, focus, and discipline are important. Students' improved coordination translates into higher levels of confidence which in turn benefits all of their endeavors. With the great support from our professional instructors and staff our kung fu kids not only get in great shape they also learn to integrate the school's philosophy of Integrity, Kindness, Wisdom, and Bravery, into their lives.
