Praying Mantis (Northern) & Shaolin Kung Fu

A traditional style of instruction is used to teach Wu Tang, it emphasizes the studying of forms (sequences of movement) and how to use them in practical settings. We teach a variety of classes which incorporate the Northern Style Kung Fu; although anyone may learn this style is advised for those over 15 years old.

Baji

Baji, or Baji Quan is a style that uses short explosive strikes to attack an opponent. It's techniques concentrate on hitting vunerable parts of your opponents body and it is primarily used for close contact.

Baqua

Baqua concentrates on skill rather than force and is an exteremly fluid style that utilizes, almost entirely, open hand techniques. It utilizes spinning movements and evasive footwork to allow the body to make smooth and rapid shifts in position, decreasing the power needed in combat.

Piqua

Piguaquan (literally - chop hanging fist), also known as Piguazhang (chop hanging palm) due to its emphasis on palm techniques, is often practiced along with Bajiquan and is a style of wushu (Chinese martial arts) that features explosive, long-range power.

Yang Style Tai Chi

Tai Chi is often considered a martial art, but it is actually a low impact form of exercise with a meditative component.  It improves mood, balance and flexibility, and strengthens bone and muscles while improving mental focus. The forms and techniques can be adjusted for any physical limitations.

Qigong

Qigong is the art and science of using breathing techniques, gentle movement, and meditation to cleanse, strengthen, and circulate the life energy (qi). Because it includes both dynamic and gentle techniques that can be practiced from standing, seated, or supine postures, it is suitable for both young and old.
