What Our
Students Say
Xylia Hall
" If you want to change your life for the better – this is the place to start! Feel better physically, mentally, and emotionally through the varied benefits of Chinese martial arts. I went into this school as a soon-to-be divorced mother of two. Three years later, I am a changed person. Not only have I grown more physically fit, but also more confident in myself, and much more calm. I know that life is going to throw me many curve balls. But because of the skills I have learned at U.S. Kuo Shu Academy, and the support of a caring kung fu community, I know I can meet my challenges with grace and resilience. At U.S. Kuo Shu Academy you not only learn techniques, but also life lessons. Try out the introductory lessons package. You’ll thank yourself later! "
SHERI MOREAU
" I've been a tai chi student at USKSA since August 2017. After many years of searching for the right fit of martial arts training, tradition, philosophy, and rigor, this school has literally changed my life. I've now meditated daily for over 1,100 days (tracked with the Insight Timer app), and practice my tai chi and/or xi gong forms daily (sometimes for only 5-10 minutes, but nonetheless, daily!). My IMPROVED HEALTH, significant weight loss, and the physical and mental balance I've achieved in three short years are proof Grand Master Huang Chien-Liang's Tien Shan Pai system of martial arts instruction is the right fit for me, and for anyone in search of a traditional Chinese martial arts school. Namaste"
ALISON REZNIKOV
" I have been a Kung Fu student at the U.S. Kuo Shu Academy for 8 years. The welcoming atmosphere and friendly staff provide a true community feel. There is something for everyone of all ages! Group classes allow students to learn traditional martial arts while meeting new people and forming friendships, and private lessons with the skilled instructors allow students to refine their techniques. Everyone at the school is EXTREMELY FRIENDLY as well! My years spent here truly shaped me into the person I am today. I would definitely recommend the U.S. Kuo Shu Academy to those looking to challenge themselves and grow as both a martial artist and a person. "
