Adults, Children, and Teenagers

Group classes are one and a half -hours in length. At our main studio in Baton Rouge adults -teenagers and younger children are separated into different classes. Our focus is on traditional form training that is exciting, yet safe and enjoyable to do. Form training can be safer than other recreational activities such as basketball, baseball, football, soccer and aerobics. Kung Fu is certainly more mentally stimulating, and valuable to learn. More importantly, it develops personal safety and self- defense skills that other exercise programs do not.
