Dear Parents,
Welcome to Lung Hur Wushu Gwan, the Dragon and Crane School of Martial Arts. Since 1991 our school has been 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 impeccable beauty, power and self-defense.
Each student in the martial arts class learns more than exercises and forms. They learn skills for life. Respect and self-control are the foundation on which lasting relationships with teachers, friends, and parents are built. 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 is 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.
Child development experts agree that few activities will help in your child's development as much as martial arts. Benefits include:
- Greater confidence
- Improved self-control
- Optimal fitness
- Higher self-esteem
- Real self-defense
- Greater respect for others

This class runs continuously; you can join at any time.
- Saturday 12:30pm-1:15pm
Family Tai Chi is an active, child-centered approach that will introduce your child to the wonderful Chinese ancient art of Tai Chi. Our program was developed especially for children (age 7-17) by Dragon and Crane to insure that they 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 through the combination of high impact sports, after school activities, and extended homework. We offer an alternative which provides calm, centering balance to the day's events. The gentle exercise, physical movement, and relaxing effect of Tai chi will help to build a solid foundation for the physical health and emotional well being of any child.
Please see the schedule for days and times of all classes.
