Not the Same Boring Gym Workouts

Children rarely enjoy exercise for its own sake. They enjoy play, challenge and progress. Kung fu offers all three, which is why it keeps them coming back.

Variety

Each class includes stances, kicks, footwork and forms. Children are never doing the same thing for long.

Goals that feel like an adventure

Learning a form passed down through generations of Shaolin practice feels meaningful. Children are not just exercising; they are learning an art.

Visible progress

Stripes and new belts show children how far they have come. Progress is the best motivation for continuing.

Fitness without the word

Children build strength, balance and stamina without thinking of it as a workout. Ask them what they did in class, and they will tell you about the kicks.
