I started with 9 Dragons Kung Fu about 10 years ago and during that time not only did I get more self discipline, confidence and self esteem, but it was also a great way to lose weight and learn something new every class I attend. I went from being 235 lbs to currently 175 lbs. my intention was just to learn and get motivated and I received many other benefits also, including being able to manage my Type 2 diabetes. I strongly recommend working out if you have any medical problems that require some type of motivation. All the instructors are great!

The Tai Chi black belt and certified instructor training program at 9 Dragons Kung Fu exceeded every expectation. Simu Kaneen is incredibly thorough, detailed, and thoughtfully structured the classes blending theory, philosophy, and practical application. Simu is a truly outstanding teacher. She brings a depth of knowledge and experiences that are rare in the martial and healing arts. Her ability to explain complex concepts with clarity, while demonstrating them with precision, creates an environment where real learning and personal growth happens. The curriculum goes far beyond forms and techniques. It includes essential training on how to attract students, build a thriving school, and become a confident, capable instructor. The inclusion of Qi Gong and weapon forms adds even more richness and depth, making the program both comprehensive and unique. The program also included a professionally written course manual which was provided to students. It served as a comprehensive reference guide, reinforcing the lessons and offering valuable support long after the program. There is simply no other program like this. The combination of high-level martial training, healing arts, business guidance, and philosophical grounding makes it truly one of a kind. Anyone serious about earning a black belt in Tai Chi and/or becoming a certified instructor will find immense value with this program. Simu Kaneen’s dedication, wisdom, and passion shine through in every lesson. This program is well worth the investment in yourself.

My son and I have been students at 9 Dragons for the past 2 1/2 years. Sifu Kaneen is a martial arts expert and he teaches respect, discipline and most importantly, self confidence. Sifu is involved in the community and often contributes to charitable organizations. If you would like to challenge yourself to become a better version of yourself, I encourage you to stop in, take an introductory class and see for yourself.

I am so incredibly thankful to have found 9 Dragons Kung Fu! I have never felt more accepted before and thats definitely unique for me. I have only been to Kung Fu 3 or 4 times, but everyone is genuine and ready to work hard for their improvement, dedication, kindness, and peace. I feel like we are all making a difference for ourselves and the world around us. Forever thankful and grateful, Samantha Claybaugh

Sifu and Simu Kaneen are excellent teachers who take the time to make sure their students understand the curriculum and the particulars of training. My experience with both the kung fu program and tai chi has motivated me to learn as much as I can from these two teachers. They are caring, compassionate people and it rubs off on their students. Best of all, they make martial arts fun!
