Matt Lui about kung fu classes

The Martial Art of kung fu has many advantages. It benefits both the body and the mind.

Kung fu utilizes and improves upon each of the five areas of fitness:

  1. muscular strength
  2. muscular endurance
  3. cardiovascular fitness
  4. flexibility
  5. body composition

Bones and other weak areas of the body are strengthened through the use of punching and kicking drills, suicide drills, push-ups, sit-ups, and body conditioning techniques unique to the martial arts.

Kung fu also demands and thus improves upon concentration, discipline, memory, respect and manners.

Matt Lui about tai chi classes

Tai chi is an ideal exercise form for the elderly; however it has vast health benefits for all ages.

Tai chi can help prevent or cure injuries and arthritis. It promotes proper breathing, improves blood flow, and has beneficial effects on the respiratory system.

Tai chi is a non-impact activity that improves bone density, prevents mental deterioration, and improves the memory. With no risk of injury it is the most popular form of relaxing exercise.
