Kung Fu - is a dynamic self-defense and exercise system that has existed for thousands of years. It originated with the Shaolin monks of China where it was used for both mediation and inner peace, as well as fending off the bandits of their day. The movements were derived from numerous real and mythical animals of which the five major one are: Tiger, Leopard, Snake, Crane, and Dragon. We instruct in an original form of kung fu dating back to 1651 referred to as "Five Formed Fist." We offer Special classes for Children seperate from adults.
Pekiti Tirsia Kali - is a formidable system of instantaneous weaponed and empty hand defense. For pure self defense it is matched by few styles of martial art. Basic study consists of single short stick drills, one-on-one and stick vs. stick. Progressive study in the Pekiti Tirsia system eventually leads to double stick, knife vs. empty hand, knife vs. knife and knife and sword techniques. We are Northeast US representatives for the Pekiti Tirsia authentic Philippine Kali style under Tuhon William R. McGrath.
