Our Mission Statement

woolsey_grandcanyon.jpg

"THROUGH OBSERVING LEGITIMATE & CORRECT TRADITIONS WE PROVIDE THE BEST IN AUTHENTIC CHINESE MARTIAL ARTS.”

 

We use authentic, first hand and from the source, training methods and materials to serve, educate, and train our students in correct and proper execution, understanding, and history of the most established and respected styles categorized as Chinese Martial Arts.  We will provide a broad, style unbiased, and uniformed methodology (curriculum) for the western student in authentic Chinese Martial Arts.
 

Our Motto

 “Today I Make My Body Strong, My Mind Wise, My Spirit Indomitable.”

 

We begin unrefined, as raw timber.
We train our body, to begin the process of change.  As we do this we become physically stronger and more capable.  What lies beneath the raw timber begins to take shape.
We exercise the mind, to prepare and lead us as we transform anew.  What emerges is a strong and vibrant staff.  A weapon, a tool, a support which we can use in difficult times.  As a Strong Body and Wise Mind integrate, the staff we have honed continues to be refined until one day the tip of the spear emerges, making the Spirit indomitable.
 
Monk Wise Academy 2014

Monk Wise Martial Arts Academy was founded May, 2010.  We have established ourselves as the premier studio in Salt Lake City, Utah to offer authentic Chinese Martial Arts from masters who have trained first hand with some of the most respected and well known masters in China today.  We teach a vast array of Chinese Martial Arts Styles.  We have classes for adults and children in either a group or private instruction.  We also cater to organizations and/or groups as well as families.

It’s easiest to say we teach Gong Fu (Kung Fu) and Taiji Quan (Tai Chi) as well as many Weapon Styles.
