Classes
Adult Classes
Our adult classes include ages 13 and up.
We have members of all ages and physical abilities. It is never too late to start training in martial arts. We focus highly on safety and self-awareness, encouraging students to listen to their bodies to avoid injury.
New students are welcome to start at any time. Just show up about 15 minutes early for your first class to get signed up.
Adult Cuong Nhu classes meet:
Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7-8:45 p.m. in Studios A and B.
All students warm up together at the beginning of each class, and then usually break into groups with different instructors to focus on curriculum by rank.
Uniforms are not required for beginners. Just wear loose, comfortable clothing such as sweatpants.
Kids Classes
Our kids classes teach self-defense, but also focus on self-control, personal growth, and physical and moral fitness.
Beginners start with an introduction to Cuong Nhu's basic principles, etiquette, stances, blocks, escapes, and strikes.
Kids Karate class meets:
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-7 p.m.
New students are welcome at any time. Ages accepted are normally between 7-12.
We also have a "Tiny Tigers" class for ages 4-6. This meets Tuesdays from 5:15-5:45.
Emphasis at this level is mainly on increasing basic body awareness and self-confidence.
Parents are always welcome to join in the class and train along with the kids! Parents usually progress more rapidly and serve as class helpers and eventually even assistant teachers.
We meet throughout the year, unless class falls on a major holiday, or if there is a snow day.
Our policy is to cancel class if night classes are cancelled for Northern Michigan University; this is announced by 5 p.m. and the status can be checked by calling 906-227-2777.
We also try to announce as early as possible via Facebook and email, and encourage everyone to be safe and use your best judgement regarding travel to class.
