Break through your plateau

by macrophysic

Reached a plateau in martial arts as I have? American Fighting Arts offers plenty of expansion. Fluid motions of Shaolin Kuntao offers a welcome respite from hard styles such as TaeKwonDo & TangSooDo. Although cyclic these movements are fast, powerful and highly effective. Shaolin Kuntao is more a martial art than sport. The techniques are street practical, ulike other more sport oriented arts. The synergy between Shaolin Kuntao's forms and their self defense techniques are unparalleled. I have been hard pressed to create the image of a fighting scenario for TKD and TSD forms. Shaolin Kuntao forms are integrated self defense sequences and offer greater potential for imagining actual combat scenarios while performing the form. This is true for beginning as well as advanced forms. Refinement of the form refines self defense skills. The animal forms also provide a mindset or attitude over how the form is executed.

Not for the light at heart

by kuntao13

I have been involved with martial arts for almost 17 years. Six of those years have been spent at A.F.A. If close range personal self defense is what you are looking for, then you need to attend classes at A.F.A. No messing around; this stuff is direct and to the point. Definitely not for the light at heart. Classes are small, the instruction is superb, and this particular style, Shaolin Kuntao, is not found on every corner, in every town, in America. In fact, if you are lucky enough to run across a Kuntao instructor, stick with them. Kuntao is a very progressive art that is finally gaining in popularity; the respect for Kuntao has always been there. Check it out. You will not be disappointed!

  • Pros: Style hard to find., Instruction superb., Application is superb
  • Cons: 20 miles to train!

Hands on application.

by ben_gaspar

Very few martial arts schools, let alone specific styles will teach any application to its students for several years. Application is where it starts. and then build up from there. How to strike, where to strike and why that specific target is being struck. I have been involved in martial arts for 16 years, and been with A.F.A. for 6 years. If self defense is what you want, this is where you will find it. Self defense that WILL get you out of a jam. Realistic self defense. Very much so worth checking out! If personal safety is your #1 concern, A.F.A. will definitely help you out on the self defense side.

  • Pros: one of a kind., awesome value., personal treatment.
  • Cons: none found.
