Below are some of the ways in which you and your family can be a part of the Cleveland 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 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 questions regarding what age to start your child in Shaolin Kung Fu please see the FAQ page or please feel free to call us with any questions or concerns.
For Teenagers
Shaolin 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.
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 Seniors
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 Shaolin 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, sex, or current physical ability.
