Questions?
We’re happy to answer any additional questions.
We consider our in-house tournament as an important part of our curriculum.
Regardless of belt level, we steadfastly train our Kung-Fu so that we can be our personal best. The tournament allows us as a Kung-Fu family to celebrate the effort we put in together by individually presenting our forms to the school and to the family and friends who join us.
While we do mark each student and award medals accordingly for those that place the highest, the real reward is knowing that you can perform your Kung-Fu individually and be recognized for the hard work you have put in.
Our sparring, horse and crane stance, and agile staff competitions offer another way that we can push each other to do well under pressure—a valuable lesson at any age!
We look forward to sharing this experience with you!
