Martial Arts Training

Please feel free to drop in anytime to watch a class!

For current students, Shifu Kelly recommends building a TCM Individual First Aid Kit and attending one of our first aid seminars. In addition to learning about the fighting arts, martial arts practice is a journey of self-cultivation that enhances health and longevity. A fundamental component of your training includes healing injuries and maintaining optimal health.
