The Truth About Kung Fu
  • Previous experience is not necessary to start classes
  • Being in shape or flexible is not required
  • We have a no-contact policy. Less risk of concussion and injuries
  • Great Way students are very friendly and helpful
  • No competitions, tournaments or contact sparring
  • We have a very welcoming family-friendly environment
  • Kung Fu is not a “style” it is a mindset, it means “hard work, well done”
WHAT CAN A PARENT DO IF THEY FEEL THEIR CHILD IS NOT EARNING THEIR NEXT BELT EITHER AT HOME OR SCHOOL?

This is very normal and can occur at any time on the journey to Black Belt. Maybe a student is not doing their chores, or their grades are not satisfactory. We can help!

It’s important to us that you know that every reward is earned here at Great Way, nothing is just given, and that parents always have the final say whether their child gets promoted to their next belt.

If for any reason a parent would like us to withhold a reward they only have to let us know, we are here to support the parents and the child and will not reward them until the parent is happy with the behavioral change.
