Children's Kung Fu

Give your kids an advantage!

  • Improved Concentration will help them in school
  • Improved Coordination will help them in all other activities
  • Improved self esteem will help them make proper choices

These skills are not innate, they are taught. Training in Kung Fu is one of the only physical activities which teaches coordination rather than demands it.

We offer two Children's Programs, the
Little Dragons Program,
designed for kids 5 to 7
years old, and a highly structured program for kids 8 and older.

All of our Children's
Programs utilize positive
reinforcement of proper
behavior to develop
self discipline.

Self discipline can only be developed through a positive approach. While the classes are highly regimented, a militaristic approach is not used. Positive reinforcement develops the desire to exhibit positive behavior.

Little Dragons Program
Shifu Somers with little DragonOur little Dragons program is structured around the needs of children
ages 5-7. This is a highly critical age for the development of:

  • Mental Skills
  • Attention Span
  • Mental Focus
  • Learning Ability
  • Self Discipline
  • Self Esteem
  • Goal Setting

Physical Skills

  • Balance
  • Coordination
  • Development of gross
  • and fine motor skills
  • physical fitness

At this age only the very basic martial arts motions are taught. These motions are used a vehicle to develop the skills necessary to learning the Martial Arts. Once the student attains the necessary maturity level, the parents and instructors will decide together when it is time to advance them into the next program. At this point, they will be ready to excel at learning the martial arts.

I like Sheng Chi Kung Fu very much

Dear Shun-Shifu,

Thank you for taking the time to write to me. I like Sheng Chi Kung Fu very much so far. My instructor is very nice and I had a lot of fun at my group lesson the other day. I look forward to learning the honor and discipline that will last me my whole life.

See you soon,

My daughter was extremely shy

"We have been with Phil and Liz Weaver for six years now and it has been an excellent experience for my husband, son, daughter and myself. My husband and I signed up our son at the end of his kindergarten year to help him to be able to defend himself against an older cousin. Soon after my husband and I signed up, and my daughter joined when she was old enough to partake in the Little Dragons program. This was one of the smartest things we could have done for them.
