We include weapons training as part of both our Kung Fu and Tai Ji Quan (Tai Chi Chuan) programs. These weapons are made of wood or metal. There are no cutting edge or sharpened weapons in the school. These weapons are no more dangerous than swinging a baseball bat, hockey stick or golf club.Weapon training is typically initiated at an intermediate level of instruction. Since we offer a traditional instruction program, we teach the traditional Chinese weapons. Training with weapons further develops coordination and strength in different ways than training with empty hands only.
