What we Teach?

Our curriculum is designed to take a person from no level of martial arts and lead
them to higher levels both physically and mentally.  Each stage is broke down for
age groups and specific style of training.  

Group one is children from the age of 6-7 years old, 8-11 years old, and 12 - 15
years old.  These three age groups will focus of the sports style of wushu.  Sports
wushu focuses on the athletic abilities which develop muscular strength, balance,
body coordination, flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, and sportsmanship.  The
Children program is divided into 6 stages.  Each stage will develop the necessary
skill to progress to the next stage.


The adult curriculum is designed to teach a student traditional wushu.  Traditional
wushu focuses on developing a skills applicable for martial arts.  A student will
focus on building athletic abilities along with how to use these theories and
movements in a real world approach to self protection.  This road will take years of
training to reach higher levels of martial arts.  The adult program is divided into 8
stages.

The training at Tian Xing Jian Chinese Wushu schools is exciting and fun.  You will
learn a lot about martial arts but most of all you will learn more about yourself.  
"A man who know others is wise, but a man who knows himself is
enlightened."

Stances are the way of standing and moving.  They are designed for different

sets.

This is the way to hold hands and use them to strike an attacker.

This teaches the student to use their legs for attacking and defending.

5.  Sequences:
These are called “form”, “sets”, “routines”, or “kata” in some martial styles.  
Sequences are use to teach the student the fighting techniques of their martial

These are short sets that train the student to different ideas and theories of
attacking and defending.  They can be done with or without a partner.

Fighting forms are short training sets consisting of two or three techniques that are
practiced with a partner.  This allows the student to learn natural reactions and
timing.  This is done with both empty hand and weapons.

8.  Chin Na:
Chin Na in Chinese means to seize and control.  In wushu we use different martial
techniques to stop and control an attacker.  Chin Na is found in many different style
of wushu.  The most famous are Eagle Claw, Tiger, and Praying Mantis.  There are
some Japanese martial arts to specialize in this type of training.  There are Jujitsu
and Aikido.  They are known for their joint locking controlling techniques and
pressure point striking.  There is a saying it is easier to strike a person than to
control him.   Chin na is used to over come an attacker and control him. Chin na is
categorized as 1. Dividing muscle and tendon, 2. Misplacing bone, 3. Sealing
breath /artery / vein, 4. Cavity / pressure point press.
