5 Elements Martial Arts & Wellness Center

Our martial arts programs teach Northern Shaolin Kung Fu, Wing Chun style self defense, and Japanese style Jiu Jitsu. Northern Shaolin Kung Fu is a traditional style of Chinese martial arts that emphasizes long range techniques, quick advances and retreats, wide stances, quickness, and agility. It also develops balance, self control, and a strong understanding of body mechanics. Wing Chun self defense is introduced in our teenage lessons but fully developed in our adult curriculum. This style focuses on practical application of self-defense moves and being able to fully protect oneself efficiently and effectively. Grappling and ground self defense teach people how to react if you are knocked to the ground. While not necessarily a desired position, a grappling match can be very advantageous for the person who knows how to use the ground to their advantage. Our curriculum teaches all ages how to effectively prepare for this situation.
