Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu hasroots dating back thousands of years to the famed Shaolin Temple in China; the Chinese Martial Art of Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu offers the perfect balance of powerful techniques and a kung fu philosophy rich in the traditions of respect and inner strength.


Shorin-ryu Karate is generally characterized by natural breathing, natural (narrow, high) stances, and circular, rather than direct movements. Shorin-ryu practitioners say that correct motion matters, being able to move quickly to evade violence by having fluid movements and flexible positions is quite important, and that a solid structure is very important for powerful moves. Stances that are too deep will most likely make body movement very difficult. Another of the features in this system is how the student is taught to punch. Generally, there is not either a horizontal or vertical punch in Shorin-ryu. Punches are almost vertical, slightly canted to the inside, with the largest knuckle of the fore finger (third from the tip) in vertical alignment with the second knuckle of the pinky finger. It is believed that this position is key in lining up the bones of the arm and creates a faster, more stable and powerful strike.


Kendo Self Defense WeaponsKendo, literally translated means "the way of the sword". Kendo is a modern Japanese martial art of sword-fighting based on traditional swordsmanship (kenjutsu)which originated with the samurai class of feudal Japan.Kendo builds character, self-discipline and respect.
