WE STUDY THE FULL SPECTRUM OF MARTIAL ARTS
The curriculum at Enter Martial Arts is designed to introduce students to the full range of martial arts, with 13 levels before black belt. This allows students to objectively measure and track their performance and look forward to attaining new goals. After black belt, students focus on specializing in certain areas and perfecting those techniques.
CONTEMPORARY WUSHU
Made famous by action stars Jet Li and Donnie Yen, wushu is a performance art made to appreciate the aesthetics and preserve the history of Chinese martial arts. Feel safe as you train basic movements and jumps on our floating wood floor.
TRADITIONAL KUNG FU
We teach Taiwanese Tian Shan Pai Kung Fu. It was brought to the United States by Grand Master Willy Lin. This style incorporates many strikes and stances that are found in contemporary wushu but does not leave out the intricacies that allow it to be a formidable martial art.
WEAPONS
There are MANY traditional weapons that were used historically in China. As you build a foundation, you will be introduced to a few. If you decide to specialize in weaponry, you can have the opportunity to become proficient in all of them.
KICKBOXING
