Classes
Houston Shaolin Kung Fu Academy offers classes to all ages over 4 years old. We offer a complete system of Traditional Kung Fu, including hand and weapon forms, and long fist, as well as the animal forms, which sets Shaolin Kung fu apart from all other martial arts. These include Tiger, Dragon, Praying Mantis, Monkey, and Crane, among many others. Some of the weapons we use are the Staff, Short Stick, Spear, Broadsword, 3-section Staff, and Chain Whip. We also offer Traditional Chinese Tai Chi, Qi Gong and meditation classes. There are many benefits that can be yielded by our classes. Below are some of the ways in which you and your family can be a part of Houston Shaolin Kung Fu Academy.

For Your Children
Shaolin Kung Fu can increase your child’s confidence, courage, strength and physical flexibility. Children can also improve their ability to focus and learn about traditional Buddhist ethics and discipline, while learning how to defend themselves when in need. Most importantly, children can begin a healthy lifestyle that can continue for the rest of their lives.

For Teenagers
Kung fu helps teenagers focus on maintaining body balance and quick thinking, while at the same time keep their bodies fit. Kung fu employs the practitioner's mind, which in turn increases the confidence, patience, strength, willpower, self-discipline and focus necessary for achievement in any endeavor. There are several different kinds of traditional kung fu from which to choose.

For Adults
Our classes provide relief for those who acquire physical tension at work, whether it is spending hours at a desk or if you are on your feet most of the day. Adults can find a balance for both body and mind, set and achieve weight-loss goals, improve cardiovascular health, lower stress, increase stamina and flexibility, lower blood pressure, and increase confidence, to name a few of the benefits that can be experienced from our classes.

For Elders
Our classes can increase the prevention of disease and strengthen bones and muscles, as well as build up many areas of the body not usually used in daily actions or regular exercises. Whether it is Kung Fu, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, or Meditation, students can enhance their internal breathing and develop their body without distress or injury. In addition, many students with a pre-existing injury have found relief that was unavailable to them through conventional treatments.

With proper training anyone can develop these mental and physical qualities regardless of background, age, or current physical ability.
