Looking for a great Chinese martial arts experience for your young ones? Legend Kung Fu Academy…read morewill incorporate training self defense, discipline, and traditional wushu techniques for kids as young as 5. Give their trail class a go and see for yourself! We have been attending the academy for about 2 years now and have been satisfied with our experience so far. There are some painpoints but they aren't unique to Legend. Legend follows a traditional belt promotion structure where students will start from a white belt, then continue to promote to yellow, yellow black, green, green black, purple, purple black, blue, blue black, brown, brown black, red, red black, red double black, black, black red, then finally black double red. Each promotion requires with an increasing amount of skills and typically a new series of hand and weapon forms and sequences. Promotions are typically held once a month and students deemed ready are invited to participate. The promotion events are quite interesting as each student will take the floor to perform their sequence, gain feedback from the instructors, and compete at times for higher ranks (for small little prizes like medals, trophies, sweets or toys). It's a wonderful experience for the students to build confidence and surround themselves with other like-minded students driven toward the same goal of moving up to the next level. For students who are looking to participate in local, national, and international competitions for kung fu or wushu will have the opportunity to elevate themselves into Legend's competition team. This group focuses on building skills and techniques necessary to compete at a high level against other schools. Students in this team would also typically have additional classes that may be longer than the normal non-competitive group. The class structure for the typical student can be challenging to master the techniques without regular practice outside of class. Each class is about 45 minutes long and over half of it is spent on warm ups, stretches, games designed to improve footwork and speed, and fundamental skills like jumping, rolling, blocking, kicking and punching. The remainder of the time is split among all the different sequences. To add, the class ratio can sometimes be abysmal but other times can be fair. Realistically, your child may get 2 to 3 minutes of dedicated instruction for their routine. If only attending class once a week, practice for that routine will need to be heavily subsidized by outside training in order retain the knowledge and promote incremental improvements. It's mostly recommended to attend twice a week for best results but the cost can rack up quickly. An alternative to growth is to sign up for their summer camps which tend to focus solely on their routine for a whole week. By the end of the week, theoretically the student should have enough experience to get promoted to the next level. They have full and half day programs during the summer so check them out! One thing Legend does do really well is incorporate fun into their programs. The kids certainly have a great time and have ample opportunities to bond with their classmates and instructors. The academy also participates in local community events and performs at local schools to promote the art of wushu so there are plenty of opportunities for your child to get exposure in a public performance setting. In addition, given that a few of the instructors (Shifu Li and Shifu Zhou) speak Mandarin fluently, upon request, they may be able to provide instruction in Mandarin for your Mandarin learners. Otherwise English will be used. Overall, if you're looking for a well balanced physical activity for your child with the opportunity to learn some self protection and body control, Legend Kung Fu Academy is a great institute to consider!

Shaolin Temple in Fremont is not well organized. Students with different belts have to take the…read moreclasses together. Yet there is not enough room for all of them. There were times that some students had to practice outdoor while others were practicing indoor. Students practicing outdoor were at risk due to the traffics nearby. Cars drove by really fast along the road, yet some students were asked to practice right by the curb. There were strangers walked by when students were practicing outdoor. Should there be any danger happen to the students outdoor, those masters might not be able to help as they were mostly teaching the students indoor. They could have limit on student size for each class or limit the belt color to only one type without mixing different young students in the same class. Yet they rather maximized the class size due to higher profit for them.

Getting reasonably good at it doesn't occur overnight and it will require years. You get out of it what you put into it, as with anything else. I've watched many students develop confidence here over the years, and that's a fine thing. The teachers are all good, friendly, will spend time with you, and answer your questions. Private classes are also available, and well worth it. Don't expect to be coddled here. It's martial arts training.
