Teaching methodology

A good teacher understands that the vitality of a teaching institution can be gauged by the quality of its students. As such, a skilled martial arts instructor takes pride in helping students achieve new heights of proficiency. In order to acquire real proficiency in any art form, it is essential to fully master that art’s basics. For this reason, we let people progress at different paces according to their own abilities. Furthermore, our teaching is one on one and “very hands on “as we feel it is the best way to learn this system.

At the White Crane Kung Fu Academies– Flying Crane Fist™ we focus on the apprenticeship of a traditional Chinese martial art done in a serious yet pleasant atmosphere. To learn more about our authentic traditional Chinese martial arts program, please schedule an appointment to visit the Academy of your choice.
