Sheng Chi Kung Fu

No.

A lifetime.

No, we have an orientation system. Students start off with two private lessons with a proffessional instructor. After these introductory lessons they then go into orientation. This is a program especially designed to help beginners get used to training in Shou' Shu' Kung Fu. New students will remain in the orientation program for up to a few months before moving on to our regular group classes.

Yes, don't worry, everyone feels a little uncoordinated when they start. Shou' Shu' teaches coordination. We do this by breaking down each little body motion into smaller motions and build from there. Developing a mind body connection develops coordination and balance. Studying Shou' shu' greatly increases coordination and balance.

We hear people say they are going to get in shape first. Kind of a funny idea. The best way to get in shape is to come in and start. Traing in Shou' Shu' at Sheng Chi Kung Fu is a fantastic way to get into shape. We'll start you off at your level and go from there. You'll find yourself getting into shape at the proper rate. This is important for long term benefits.

No, kids learn differently than adults therefore we have separate programs for each.

Yes, but that doesn't mean it makes people aggressive. Taught in the wrong way, any martial art can cause big egos and attitudes. We teach our students how to be aggressive if needed, but there's no reason to walk around with this attitude all the time. Attitude is a cover up for low self esteem. Actually when a martial art is taught properly, the student becomes more confident. Because they are more confident, they become less aggressive. Read More...

No, it's Kung Fu. However, in the 70's the teaching methodologies of Kempo Karate were used to teach Shou' Shu'. The system of teaching through techniques was borrowed from Kempo karate. Even a lot of Kempo techniques were used. When they were taught, the animal motions of Shou' Shu' were applied to them. They were only used as a vehicle to teach Shou' Shu'. Shou' shu' is not these techniques, it is a set of principles which teach a highly efficient system. However, take the animal principles out and you basically have kempo karate. Read More...

No.
