Dear Parents,
Welcome to Lung Hur Wushu Gwan,
the Dragon and Crane School of Martial Arts.
Our school has over a ten year history of training
students in the art of Shao-lin Kung Fu, Chinese
philosophy and language. The training and philosophy
at the Dragon and Crane mirrors that of the Shao-lin
Temple monks. Shao-lin Kung Fu began 1500
years ago as a journey toward greater spiritual
awareness, self-control, self-discipline, and
a love and respect for all life. Exercises
designed to test the limits of one's physical
body resulted in the most exquisite martial art
forms and techniques famous for their beauty,
power and impeccable self-defense.
Each student in the martial
arts class will learn more than exercises and
forms. They will learn skills for life. Respect
and self-control are the foundation on which
to build lasting relationships with teachers,
friends and parents. Greater confidence, self-awareness
and self-discipline develop naturally as each
child improves his or her own skills. Kung Fu
training creates an environment that fosters
enhanced focus and concentration. Health
benefits include an increase in strength, endurance,
coordination and flexibility. Every child
will be helped to achieve their optimum physical
development in a carefully graded and controlled
manner. Each individual learns at his or her
own pace and competition between fellow students
is discouraged. Kung Fu is an individual journey
where the real opponent lies within. Our success
is in never giving up. Our failure is allowing
the negativity within to take control.
Of course, self-defense is an
added benefit when training in the martial arts.
Techniques to avoid conflict, calm the mind and
avoid danger are the primary goals of Shao-lin.
Greater self-confidence and courage will allow
your child to take the best path when confronted
with problems. Fighting is always a
last resort. Respect and compassion for all life
are the way of Shao-lin.
Martial arts training helps
all kids reach their fullest potential!
HELP YOUR CHILD TO EXPERIENCE
THE BENEFITS OF THE CHINESE
ARTS
Our
top-quality classes are led by instructors who
have years of martial arts training and familiarity
with teaching children. Classes are separated
by age and experience so that your child can
progress at his or her own level.
Kung Fu for elementary school
students (ages 6-10) is taught as part
of the after school program from 3:15pm to 6:00pm.
Tai Chi for Kids is an active, child-centered approach that will introduce your child to the wonderful Chinese ancient art of Tai Chi. Our Tai Chi for Kids program was developed especially for children (age 7-17) by Dragon and Crane to insure that children could share and experience the many physical and psychological benefits of this traditional martial art. The fast pace and hectic lifestyle of today not only affects us, but also our children as well. The combination of high impact sports, after school activities and extended homework also adds to the stress imparted upon our youngsters. The Tai Chi for Kids program at Dragon and Crane offers an alternative which provides calm, centering balance to the days events. The gentle exercise, physical movement and a relaxing effect of Tai chi will help to add a solid foundation to both the physical health and emotional well being of any child.
