Kids

At Way of the Fist, We believe the best way to learn martial arts is through play. Our classes combine engaging drills and games with Shaolin Kung Fu to keep kids excited about coming to class. Your child will develop balance, coordination, and total-body control. More importantly, kids learn to stay calm, focused, and persevere when things get difficult, building lasting confidence. This mindset helps in every part of life.

Our Philosophy

At Way of the Fist, we follow the principles from the legend 

The Dragon and The Tiger

Two opposing , yet equal forces that must work together to be complete representing balance and harmony.

The Power of the Tiger

The Tiger represents Direct Action. This is the foundation of raw power, explosive striking, and true aggression. It is the “hard” style that allows you to overwhelm an opponent and take command.

The Wisdom of the Dragon

The Dragon represents Fluidity. It is the ability to flow around resistance, using an opponent’s own energy against them. This is the “soft” style that ensures you stay composed and never panic when things get tough.

True mastery is knowing exactly when to switch from the Dragon’s patience to the Tiger’s aggression.

30 YEARS IN THE MAKING

"Martial arts has been my obsession since I was a kid. After 30 years of training under some of the most amazing instructors, I founded Way of the Fist. Now I am fulfilling a lifelong dream by passing down the knowledge I have gathered to the next generation.

To compliment my martial arts training, I also became an ISSA Master Trainer. This allows me to combine elite combat skills with a deep understanding of bio mechanics and performance. My goal is to give you the same high-level guidance that i was fortunate enough to receive, helping you reach your full potential as a martial artist and an athlete."
