OUR MISSION STATEMENT
We are a club where each member is treated as part of the family. We are dedicated to providing high-quality martial arts instruction. It is our pleasure to instruct anyone who is enthusiastic about learning Kung Fu, its art, history, philosophy, and ethics. We will exhaust our knowledge of the arts to help those who are eager and determined to learn. We will work together to achieve better health and to enjoy the arts.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT - The Redmond Kung Fu Club/Wing Lam Kung Fu School is accepting new students. CALL US FOR TIMES AND LOCATIONS. Feel free to call for any kung fu/tai chi questions as it is our duty to serve the public.
NO CONTRACTS - You can pay month-to-month, but if you want to be well-respected, pay on time. There are *NO* refunds, if you miss your lesson, you don't get a free lesson later - *UNLESS* you make arrangements ahead of time, with Sifu Daniels; he'll glady work with you to make that lesson up later. Discounts are available if you pay a few months in advance.
NO BELTS - There are no belts. Belts are a western contrivance. If studying martial arts is about earning a belt, this is not the school for you. If you want a black belt, you can buy one. The only time we use belts is to tell if we are using proper breath. We do have designated levels of training, but it is so the student can pick what they want to learn as they advance in skill. We don't claim to have the ultimate in fighting systems, good martial arts comes from dedicated practice. Kung Fu is taught here, and we can name names in our lineage (try this at other schools).
NO BS - We train mostly in the elements - around Seattle it can get cold and rainy really quick - and, of course, during the winter months, snow. Stance training will make your legs burn, but we train in our stances to build a strong foundation and build endurance. We do iron body training, which will produce bruises, but the student will actually be able to withstand the rigors of combat. All of this training requires a special kind of patience and dedication.
FELLOWSHIP - We have a tradition on Saturday of going out for Pho. During the winter months, there is nothing like a big bowl of Pho after cold-weather training. We joke, share ideas, and sometimes debate every topic under the sun. In short, there is an odd sense of family that occurs when you test each other on a regular basis. Your classmates may whoop on you, and you may whoop on them from time-to-time, but it's never out of malice, and a certain level of respect and dignity forms naturally. Like a second family. We are all individuals but with the common root of kung fu.
