The AMAC Chinese Kung-Fu program is a general study program of Traditional Kung-Fu.

The foundation for the program is based on the various forms of Shaolin Kung-Fu and Shaolin Kenpo. The focus of the class is the development, refining, and understanding of, one's self through the study of the martial arts. The study of Kung-Fu will improve your self discipline, self control, self esteem and ability to focus. The class will improve your strength, balance, and flexibility as you align and loosen the body. You will also study various self-defense techniques set in various situations, i.e. wrist and arm grabs, chokes, headlocks and various grabs to the body, to name a few.

The AMAC Chinese Kung-Fu program is an excellent class for the adult who is looking to study the martial art at a comfortable pace and in a safe, non-threatening environment.

Health and Fitness
By health, we mean not only being free from illness, but the ability to sleep soundly, to work energetically, to think clearly, and to be calm yet alert.
By fitness, we mean not just physical strength, but the ability to react quickly, to endure hard work, and to concentrate without mental fatigue.

Kung Fu is better than other forms of exercise for promoting health and fitness. In swimming, jogging, and karate, for example, the fitness acquired diminishes as one grows old, but in Kung Fu it is enhanced. This is because Kung Fu is more than physical exercise; it develops the inner faculties of vital energy and the mind. A Kung Fu practitioner will exhibit more zest and vitality in both work and play than an ordinary person, and have calmness of mind and clarity of thought even under demanding situations.

Character Training
Kung Fu teaching emphasizes moral development as well as physical training, stressing values like respect, courage, tolerance, and reverence for life. The very nature of Kung Fu training is a long process of character building. Wholesome qualities like endurance, perseverance, discipline, loyalty, and a calm disposition are prerequisites for progress, especially at higher levels. All these qualities, acquired through Kung Fu training, are transferable to daily life.

Self-Defense
Self-defense is the essence of Chinese martial arts. True Kung Fu teaching always instructs students to be tolerant and avoid fighting, but the ability to defend oneself is a valuable asset. It is only when we know that we can defend ourselves effectively that we gain self-confidence. In this way self-defense can be applied to non-combative situations, such as job interviews or school exams. In modern society, this need for psychological self-defense is perhaps more important than the need to actually fight.
