Frequently asked questions

Answer: Kung‑Fu and martial arts are extremely safe activities. Our program emphasizes control and careful instruction, which eliminates most situations that could cause injury. Studies show that Kung‑Fu is among the safest physical activities available. In class, we monitor everything closely to maintain a safe environment. While occasional bumps or bruises can happen — as with any contact sport — they are rare, and safety is always our top priority.

Answer: Absolutely! Kung‑Fu is ideal for individuals of all athletic abilities. Unlike team sports, where some kids may sit out and lose confidence, our program focuses on individual growth. Every student receives personal attention and has the chance to excel in different areas. Students progress at their own pace, building skill and confidence without feeling left out. As we like to say, “there are absolutely no bench warmers in our family.”

Answer: To put it simply, Kung‑Fu is one of the most fun activities you can do. Our instructors are masters at blending education and entertainment — what we call “edu‑tainment.” Hard work, like exercise, is turned into playful, game‑like movements. Whether for children or adults, our classes are a blast, offering excitement, inspiration, and personal growth both mentally and physically.

Answer: Confidence is sometimes inherent, but most people develop it through experience and small successes. In Western thinking, success is often seen as avoiding failure — but in our Eastern-based approach, failure is part of the journey. We teach that trying, learning, and even failing are essential steps toward real growth. The more students practice, the more skilled and confident they become. Over the years, we’ve helped countless students build confidence, self‑esteem, and resilience that carry far beyond the mats.

Answer: We teach children starting as young as four, all the way to adults of any age. Starting young can give children an advantage that benefits them throughout their development, but Kung‑Fu truly has no age limit — you’re never too old to start and enjoy its rewards. Many parents even decide to join after seeing the benefits their children gain!

Answer: Absolutely! Everyone knows that bullying hurts. It causes psychological and emotional scars that can last a lifetime. Regardless of whether your child is the victim of bullying or is bullying others, low self‑esteem is usually the cause, and it will eventually lead to poor school performance, depression, and labeling.

Ten Tigers Kung‑Fu Academy has the solution. Our program builds physical, mental, and emotional strength, while our students learn both self‑respect and respect for others. Children who believe in themselves not only make poor targets for bullies, they learn to stand up and "find their voice." At the same time, children who were inclined towards bullying learn they don't need to intimidate others to feel self‑worth.

Many parents worry that martial arts may make their child more aggressive, but in reality, it's the exact opposite. Martial arts teaches children self‑control. Our students learn to stand up for themselves and their principles and to respond to bullying in the most effective manner, with physical force being the last resort. The advantage to the techniques we teach is that they are only applied in response to physical aggression, ensuring that they are never used for the wrong reason. Most importantly, our students learn they can walk away from trouble with courage and authority.

Answer: Absolutely! Our classes include a strong mix of girls and boys, and we throw outdated stereotypes out the window. Girls at our school train just as hard as the boys, developing strength, skill, and determination. They excel in techniques, discipline, and confidence, proving that gender doesn’t determine ability in Kung‑Fu. We’re proud to see our female students breaking barriers and exceeding expectations every day.
