Kung Fu
It is a widely held belief that Kung Fu is the martial art from which all modern martial arts developed.
It began as a simple system of exercises to improve a Buddhist monk’s focus during meditation and to aid in self-defense while traveling throughout China, Asia and the rest of the world.
Tai Chi
Tai Chi, also known as Taiji or Taijiquan, is one of the most ancient forms of Chinese martial arts. It is known as The Grand Ultimate and is possibly the most widely practiced martial art in the world today due to its profound influence on the natural body.
Youth
Youth at Monk Wise enter a fun, friendly environment great for exercising and learning life skills. Instructors become positive role models for children as they develop the discipline and self-control necessary to be successful later in life. Learning kung fu provides youth with defense against bullying and develops self-confidence. Youth with greater self-confidence have better social skills and do better in school.
Weapons
Here at Monk Wise we offer a variety of weapons training from the most ancient to modern firearms. We offer instructive clinics throughout the year and during our weekly classes. There is a weapon for every style and body-type.
