Our Adult Program is open to ALL both Male and Female, and no discrimination is made against anyone regardless of Fitness Levels or Age.
Iron Fist Kung Fu is ultimately in the heart. These tenets emphasize the virtues of pure-minded concentration, fairness and righteousness in all social interactions, including the training hall. These values are taught to Iron Fist students because they define the true spirit of the Iron Fist Kung Fu. Those who do not live by them are not true Iron Fist practitioners.
Learning these tenets is important to advancement in our school. Righteousness simply means doing what you know you should do, simply because you know it is the right thing to do. Our master reserves the right to refuse tuition of any student who demonstrates a blatant disregard for the rules of our school. We try to make the experience at our school filled with fun and useful learning opportunities, and the environment a safe and fun atmosphere in which to learn martial arts.
Meaning of KUNG FU Chinese, meaning 'skill gained through hard work over time', or shortened to 'skill'.
Entering the Training Hall: Please BOW towards the teacher as you enter the training hall, in the customary Iron Fist way. If you do not see the instructor, bow towards the middle of the room and enter anyway. Just ask the instructor if you don't know how.
Weapons: Weapons training normally does not begin until midway through the 2nd Level. When weapons training becomes appropriate for a new student, the teacher will advise him of how to train and will ask him to purchase his own weapon normally to practice at home whenever possible, in addition to in-class training. If you are not currently being taught a weapon by the master, please do not bring one to class. No weapon should ever brought to class, with the exception of weapons you have been taught by the Master/Sifu them self.
Conduct: Knowing the tenets are usually enough, but it is worth saying that no brawls, angry tirades or dangerous/disruptive showing off in front of the class will be tolerated. Follow the instructor and work on what he gives you to work on. Have respect for the training hall and fellow students at all times. Friendly cooperation and fun are the most important thing. And last but not least...DO NOT TEACH OTHER STUDENTS unless the Sifu has asked you specifically to do so. Teaching is the master's role and it is up to him / her to decide who should learn what, when and from whom. Same level students may share or work together on their own forms, etc., but for more advanced or subtle matters, it is always best to seek the master's input, so ask him / her first.
