I talked with Sifu (teacher, instructor) before and after class and I knew I have signed up and see how far I can go with a bad knee. I learn to modify some exercises and try my best at some others. Well, I joined end of February of this year and I still a member. I am loving it because whatever I learn, I can practice at home. Repetition is key to getting you better. Everyone there is friendly and helpful. It awed me to watch the advanced students and sifu practice forms and weapons before class. Sifu is stern but very approachable. He watches everyone and at a moment, he would give you a correction. That is to me is priceless. I will continue my journey! Give Kung fu a try!

I would highly encourage the school to anyone who is interested in learning practical self defense that works on the streets but also just for the impact it has on your life.

This is not a…read morechurned out Mc Dojo looking to charge you for belts, clothing, monthly tests etc. This is a family style school where everyone is friendly and helpful and there are no uniforms or belts. Either you know what you have been learning and practicing, or you don't. A colored belt doesn't change who you are and what you are capable of. Regular classes are an hour long and will have healthy food served afterwards. You are not kicked out of the school when you finish your class, instead you are encouraged to stay and practice and workout with your fellow kung fu brothers and sisters. It is a large school with two main practice rooms, a bag room, and a gym room. There is also a kitchen with a dining area and two private rooms that can be used for meditation or massage therapy. Sifu Smith teaches a few styles of Tai Chi, Bagua, Hop Gar (Tibetan Kung Fu), Choi Li Fut, and a few other select more private styles. Its rare that you find a teacher that has a great lineage, and its also rare to find a teacher who is exceptional at teaching. When you find a teacher that has a great lineage and is a great teacher, consider yourself fortunate to learn there. We have students there who have come from various martial backgrounds from people who have run their own schools, to people who have never stepped in a gym. There is no judgement, only encouragement. Sifu Smith also is good with children, including children with special needs. I encourage you to visit the school and see for yourself. You can visit the webpage at: www.tibetankungfu.net
