What we do…

Our programs teach you more than just Kung Fu. You will become more fit, develop self-confidence, become empowered, become more focused and attain a more relaxed state of mind. Kung Fu is more than just punching and kicking. It is a way to learn how to calm your mind and better deal with situations whether they be an attacker or just a business negotiation.

Eagle Claw Kung Fu – Our program is designed to give you the full Eagle Claw System. You will develop your fitness level, learn self-defense and embrace the kung fu philosophy.

Tai Chi Chuan – “Grand Ultimate Fist” is the treasure of Chinese martial arts. This art improves mental focus, coordination, balance and is a highly effective form of self-defense.

Instructional Seminars – Master Joel Rodriguez is also available for instructional seminars for people of all ages in Northern Eagle Claw Kung Fu and Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan. Learn more
