What is Kung Fu?

Most people believe that Kung Fu is an Oriental form of self defense that originated in China long ago.  But the true meaning of Kung Fu is far greater than just a name that we use for the Chinese martial arts.  The term "Kung Fu" means "Working hard towards great accomplishment" or "The journey on the path of becoming a skilled artisan"  The idea of Kung fu is that you can become "Kung fu" if you are working hard towards whatever your goal may be. 

"Working hard Towards Great Accomplishment"

At the Mountain Warrior Kung Fu Academy, we are working to help each of our students to become "Kung Fu" through the martial arts.  Our training methods are unique and come from such diverse styles as:

Wah Lum Tam Tui Northern Praying Mantis Kung fu for classical scholar forms and traditional strength training. 

Kuntao Silat Detours for body conditioning and fighting forms.

Modified Wing Chun and Red Boat Wing Chun Kung Fu for the study of close quarter combat drills and lightning fast responses.

Philipino stick drills from Kali Escrima and Arnis for eye speed and quickening of the reflexes.

Modern Western Kickboxing for cardiovascular stamina and muscle endurance.

The statement of the styles used at the Mountain Warrior Kung Fu Academy is certainly not complete but just hits the highlights of the beginning of study at our facility.  We believe that in using the term "Kung Fu" in our training at the academy, we honor  the true essence of  "Kung Fu".  When working hard towards great accomplishment (Kung Fu) you must learn from the past yet constantly strive to refine and evolve so that our future will continue to expand.  To become "Kung Fu" one must seek to continuously change, evolve and adapt to the circumstances around us. 

It is with great expectations that I invite you to come study the martial arts at the Mountain Warrior Kung Fu Academy.  With patience you will find yourself becoming "Kung Fu"

Sincerely,
Joseph Bronson
