Our System
At Spring Martial Arts (SMA) the combined systems of Northern Shaolin and Northern Praying Mantis are practiced in the Kung Fu classes. Fundamentals of the martial arts are taught in a safe, fun and exciting environment.

The Northern Shaolin system places its emphasizes on kicking techniques, long hand strikes and circular, continuous movements designed to keep an opponent off balance. The Northern Praying Mantis system features waist-high kicks, in-close use of knees and elbows combined with grabbing and striking techniques.

Our program includes instruction in joint locks and joint manipulation techniques, practical throws, breakfalls and basic tumbling. Students learn aversion and awareness tactics as part of the self-defense curriculum.

Emphasis is placed on proper breathing, stretching and body postures (stances).

We do not advocate violence. The SMA philosophy emphasizes self-defense, sport, fitness and safety in both our youth and adult classes.
