What is the schedule for Classes?

Class times vary from Academy to Academy. We offer a variety of times in the mornings and evenings. The best way to get all your questions answered is to try a Trial Course. That way, you can discover for yourself if the program is right for you or your child. At that time, we can cover the class schedule and answer all your questions in detail.

Do I have to be in shape to start?

No! This is a common misconception. Our beginner program gradually gets you back into shape, improves your flexibility, muscle tone, strength, balance, and improves focus and discipline. As these areas improve, the more advanced training will challenge you to improve yourself even more. You’ll never get bored.

How long have you been in business?

Since 1972. Master Rothrock started training in 1968 in Karate. Later, he was introduced to the ancient arts of Kung Fu & Tai Chi... and has been training for over 50 years. His teacher Grandmaster Leung Shum is retired and Master Rothrock still travels to New York to visit with him.

What does professional instructors mean?

A professional instructor is someone that has chosen to make their career as a Kung Fu & Tai Chi instructor. That's their full-time occupation and have 10 to 30 years of experience. That means that they are specifically trained to teach and take pride in helping you achieve your goals. Many schools use part-time help or volunteers, who are not specifically trained to teach martial arts.

What Can I expect when I come in for a visit?

Am I going to get hurt?

No!  We have a safe and modern training environment. It's not like what you might have seen in the movies. In over 50 years, we never had anyone get hurt from the training program.

I’ve never done this before. Am I going to be able to do Kung Fu?

Yes! Many people that have got started felt the same way as you. As I mentioned earlier, we start everyone with beginner classes.  These beginner classes are designed, so people that have never done anything before can easily learn the techniques. You don’t have to be coordinated or need special flexibility. It’s not like the movies that you might have seen. You can easily follow along as you have a fantastic workout.

What does it mean to Have my Mind Work Better?

Are Classes Separated by Age?

Yes! All our classes are separated by level and age. Every age group has its own needs. Children need help with discipline and concentration while adults prefer a healthy workout geared towards improving muscle tone and flexibility as they learn self-defense. You’ll be in class with other adults your own age.

Are there testing fees?

How many times can I come a week?
