I have been in martial arts since I was a child and found this school four years ago. I been shifu’s student ever since and I can’t recommend it enough. If you’re looking to improve skills you already have built or if you’re a first time learner, you’ve found a great school! Aside from the physical conditioning and the education/application of kung fu, shifu is very knowledgeable on the history behind the movement and evolution of kung fu. Here are some pictures of one of our kids classes!

Our daughter, 6years old, wanted to get into some form of martial arts. After looking at many good schools in the area we settled here. Most of the others simply treat the kids as money makers selling black belts to 8 year old kids. Shifu Tom and the other instructors make sure the kids are learning the basics and having fun. The kids learn Kung Fu at an age appropriate level along with respect, patience, confidence, and other life skills that help them every day.

I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Mantis Kung Fu and Tai Chi. My children participated in kung fu and other activities for years here. They were taught discipline and respect, along with learning kung fu and other types of martial arts. The owners take a special interest in seeing that all their students succeed. It’s a great place to help with confidence and self esteem. My overall experience was nothing but positive. I highly recommend Mantis Kung Fu.
