From the owner: At Beasley Martial Arts, 3360 N. Franklin St.,…read moreChristiansburg, we specialize in training every facet of boxing/kickboxing including the three primary ranges. Our linage begins with Bruce Lee, the original advocate of MMA and the world’s most popular martial artist. Lee was the 1960’s teacher to Joe Lewis, the legendary undisputed American heavyweight kickboxing champion. Lewis, in the 1980’s taught Dr. Jerry Beasley (8th dan Joe Lewis Black Belt) a world renowned and published expert on the methods of both Lewis and Lee. Dr. Beasley has taught over a thousand students in the NRV since 1971. Lee, Lewis and Beasley are among the elite few to have been inducted by popular vote into the prestigious and exclusive Black Belt magazine Hall of Fame.

Heng Shan Do is a martial arts school in Winston Salem, NC. It's a somewhat eclectic school of…read morekarate and kung fu. They've been around, in the same location, for over 25 years now. The style starts out primarily Japanese with Kempo and Shotokan forms, progressing into Tensho and Tonfa forms. There's also a couple Korean stylistic elements. Overall, however, the style is rooted in principle of Yin/Yang balance, tai chi and Chinese martial arts principles. As you advance in the style, it becomes more and more Chinese. By the time you reach black belt, the style is purely Chinese. It's easier to pick up the round Chinese movements once you have a solid foundation in the linear Japanese movements and you get the benefit of the brilliance of both cultures. While all this is the case, the founder of the style was first a yoga adept under Blanche DeVries, so when he created the style from its parent, he incorporated various yoga principles, most notably pranayama. I've attended classes at Heng Shan Do for over 5 years now and love it. The teacher is relaxed, cordial and non-threatening. One of the impressions I had of martial arts schools was that they were taught a lot like military bootcamps. Not the case here. This is a relaxed, yet disciplined approach that will be enjoyable for family members of all ages. I had always wanted to learn martial arts, but not in an overly aggressive, competitive fashion. I wanted something that focused on energy development. What ultimately attracted me to the school and got me to start was meeting the founder of the style and hearing him say, "Ultimately, it's about the fusion of matter and spirit." That's all I needed to know. The style itself is very practical. You won't need to learn acrobatic routines to get through the forms. There's very little jumping, and you won't need to kick higher than the waist. At that point, it's more efficient to throw a punch instead. As for pricing -- their prices are the most affordable in the area, and they don't use contracts, so there's no long-term commitment upfront. They offer a free trial period so that you can see if it's for you, as well. I really enjoy attending class there, and I hope you will, too. Look forward to seeing you there! * HSD meets up Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7pm to 9pm in the Summit School Gym.
