Beyond Kung Fu Studios teaches personal growth and character development through the physical and mental practices of the martial arts.  It is based upon the study of Kung Fu which originated approximately 1500 years ago in China.  Sticking to the roots of this ancient art form, students will quickly develop attributes such as focus, self discipline, respect, integrity, perseverance/dedication, motivation and much more. 

 The instructors and staff at Beyond Kung Fu Studios are highly trained, motivated and extremely caring individuals.  They put a lot of emphasis on personal attention in all of the classes in order to draw out the very best in each student.  Whether you goals are to: lose weight, tone muscles, increase cardio-vascular fitness, develop self-discipline, focus, motivation, raise self-esteem, confidence, or just simply have fun, there is something to be had by everyone.

 Now as far as the self defence curriculum goes, for a moment, picture yourself alone in a dark parking lot late at night.  You get a nervous feeling as you start to sense that you are not alone.  From out of nowhere, someone jumps out from behind your car and attacks you…….what do you do, panic, freeze, and become a victim?  This is exactly what happens to about 80 or 90 percent of people who find themselves in this sort of situation. 

 At Beyond Kung Fu, you will learn how to use specific self defence techniques to defend yourself against a real life attacker in reality simulated self defence scenarios.  Training in self defence will greatly reduce your fear and anxiety around being attacked as you will also develop your ability to avoid ‘high risk’ situations (places and circumstances in which you are more likely to be attacked).  You will, in a sense, go from ‘victim to victor’ mentally, physically, and emotionally.  Kids will also learn anti-bullying strategies and learn how to befriend, avoid or in the last case situation, physically defeat a bully. 

There are two words in “Martial Arts”.  I have briefly mentioned the ‘Martial’ aspect in explaining a little about our self defence program.  Now I’ll talk a bit about the ‘Art’ aspect.  Beyond Kung Fu Studios introduces our classical forms and “Extreme Martial Arts Classes”.  In these specially designed classes, students will learn the art of Ancient Chinese Kung Fu, and develop their minds and bodies by practicing beautiful, and flowing linear and circular motions and even acrobatics in our extreme program.  These classes are high energy (to say the least) and excellent for fitness. 

 Fitness is another major reason for training in the martial arts.  If you are anything like me, you too sometimes get bored by the same old routine at the gym, and often lack the physical energy or motivation to make it there.  Am I right?  The best fitness program is the one you are going to stick with. 

 The instructors at Beyond Kung Fu put the needs of their students first and focus on drawing out the best in every student.  By training every major and minor muscle group in the body, students will quickly shed those unwanted pounds, increase muscle tone, develop their lungs and hearts and just feel better overall!  Would you like to look better?  Have more energy first thing in the morning and throughout the day? Or just feel good about yourself.  If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this is the place for you.
