One of the most transformative experiences of my life

Emily Reyes

Training at the U.S. Kung Fu Center has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. The discipline, mental strength, and resilience I developed here continue to guide me through every challenge—both in and out of the classroom.
Earning my black belt wasn’t just about physical skill; it was about showing up, staying committed, and pushing myself beyond what I thought I was capable of. The instructors at the U.S. Kung Fu Center foster a culture of excellence and personal growth. They don’t just teach martial arts—they shape leaders.
As a double major in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, I often rely on the focus, time management, and perseverance I cultivated during my years of training. Kung Fu taught me how to approach problems with patience, determination, and confidence.
The U.S. Kung Fu Center is more than a school—it’s a second home, a place where I grew stronger in every way. I’m incredibly grateful for the lifelong lessons and the supportive community that helped shape the person I am today.
