The thing about this school that I find very rare is that they teach children about discipline and respect. They remind kids about the importance of concentrating in class. The instructors are very caring but strict as well. Overall throughout my many years here the martial arts taught here is very authentic which explains the titles they bring back from attending World Wushu Championships. I highly recommend this place!!!

Great Wushu and Taichi skills of Master Cai and his students. I recently moved to Calgary and have competed in China for the Dutch National Wushu Team. I can say its great to have found a school like this in my new city. Great vibes, skills and great teaching. Highly recommend this place!
