Kungfu School Of The Way

Peace Through Strength & Health Through Martial Arts

Tai Chi Chuan, Yang Style is an internal martial art that is practiced slowly but applied rapidly. It's slow moving practice and breathing is excellent for improving overall physical and mental health. Tai Chi is a martial art that skillfully uses the opponents strength against the opponent themselves by using softness to overcome brute strength. TaI Chi is well known for its numerous health benefits however, the martial use of it is rarely taught, and this knowledge is almost impossible to find these days....The school offers two diverse Tai Chi programs. One focus's on the Health aspects. The second Tai Chi program specializes in the self defense aspects of this amazing art. Sifu Marlon also offers instruction in Tai Chi weaponry.

Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu is a rare aggressive fighting art. Mantis includes joint locking and take down techniques but it also contains special characteristics such as: foot trapping, attacks utilizing simultaneous kicks and punches to the legs and face, two person sparring forms for empty hand as well as numerous weapon forms. Mantis Kung Fu is known for its lightening speed and cunning strategy. During this program a large variety of traditional and specialty weapons forms including weapon sparring forms are taught.. Sifu Marlon is a 10th generation disciple.

Women's Self Defense is a special program specializing in techniques on how to defend yourself against attacks by larger and stronger assailants. This is a 3 month program with 3 levels. From level 1 through level 3 you will be taught maneuvers increasing in complexity, including follow up techniques in the event your opponent is able to block, or absorb, your initial line of defense. This program will also cover defending yourself against multiple attackers.

"I took class with Sifu Marlon for 7 years. Sifu is the best instructor I've ever had. Watching him do the form is like watching poetry in motion, and it inspired me to continue onward. He has trained a number of people who have moved on and started their own practices, but I would never go to anyone but him as he (as a 10th generation disciple) is the real deal. When I've taken tai chi classes in the past with other instructors, I just went through the motions as that's all they offered. Sifu Marion's understanding and ability to explain each movement was extremely helpful in learning the form correctly. As a side note, Sifu's school offers more than just a classroom. It is a place one can go to rebalanced, refocus, and find their way again. I can't recommend Sifu highly enough. He is simply the best, as both a teacher and a person." - Christine Syriac

Kungfu School Of The Way

Partner Exercises

and partner forms training, is incorporated early on in the curriculum of each style.

Weapons Training

Understand and be able to proficiently and instinctively use weapons in attack and defense.

Our 20th year

We have produced many excellent students who have won numerous medals and tournament titles

Partner exercises and partner forms training, is incorporated early on in the curriculum of each style. Partner exercise training is an absolutely irreplaceable bridge to actual fighting, actually being able to comfortably and instinctively use your own martial art style to best defend yourself, AND NOT just resort to basic brawling, brute punching, basic kicking and wild wrestling.

Partner exercises is what this school is all about.

In addition to this, weapons training, if the student is interested, is taught. Again partner forms in this area as well allows the student to understand how to, and be able to, proficiently and instinctively use weapons in attack and defense.
Weapons training greatly compliments empty hand training.

The Curriculum
The Praying Mantis and the Tai Chi curriculum is designed to produce further graduate students to carry on each style. However, many students today have their own particular interest in what they would like to learn. The curriculum is modifiable based upon each students individual interest. Please feel free to discuss that with Sifu Marlon any time.

Kungfu School Of The Way is now celebrating its 20th year and it has produced many excellent students, many of which have won numerous medals and tournament titles at international competitions over the past years, and who have now opened their own schools.
