This school teaches traditional kung fu. There is no belt system, because things are done in the traditional manner. The students are taught that they are a family. Big brothers/sisters are students that have been with the school the longest. The new students are little brother/sisters. Training starts at all ages. Students are taught how to increase flexiblity and strength before jumping into the forms. Weapons are not taken for granted and are taught once the open hand forms are learned. Do not confuse this school with Wushu. It is Northern Style Shaolin and really rocks!!!
