<p>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.</p>
<p>Our sparring, horse and crane stance, and agile staff competitions offer another way that we can encourage each other to do well under pressure—a valuable lesson at any age!</p>
<p><strong>We look forward to sharing this experience with you!</strong></p></div>

My sons both really enjoyed it, and came home every day excited. They woke up each morning excited to go back.  They came home on Friday with giant paper dragons. They added more pieces to their dragons and also helped make one for their little sister! They are hanging proudly in our recroom.</p>
<p>I think the instructors did a really good job with them this week, and I felt it was important to let you all know.  It&#8217;s not easy to both entertain and teach young kids for long stretches of time over the course of several days, but they did a wonderful job. Thank you!</div></div>
