Created by Sifu Kenny K. Kuek, the Kwok Wu Chuen Martial Arts System is uniquely set apart from any other martial art and all other activities because it is a way of life. No other activity emphasizes the mental discipline and philosophy of life essential in uniting the mind, body and spirit (The 3 Treasures). Thus, it is the responsibility of all Kwok Wu Chuen instructors, as educators, to teach the philosophical aspects of the Kwok Wu Chuen system. Indeed, it is easy to teach the physical skills of the martial arts, but this can never be mastered completely without the exercise of the mental and spiritual power. More specifically, we must impress upon our students the importance of persistence and perseverance, and the value of sticking with a study that enriches their lives.
The Kwok Wu Chuen system will help you improve:
CURRICULUM
The classes are age specific for Tigers (ages 4, 5, 6, 7), Champions (ages 8, 9, 10, 11, 12), Warrior (ages 13 and up). The curriculum has been meticulously designed to lead each student through the journey to Black Belt and beyond. Each student is allowed to develop at their own rate with each age group's special needs in mind. However, it is essential that each student attend a minimum of one A day and one B day each week to receive the proper training. Open days are designed to allow students to get individual attention and as make-up days. Students may attend a maximum of three (3) classes per week.
