General School Information |
||
| Shaolin Martial
Monks School (formerly Sun Kung Fu School), founded in 1996, is a school
of traditional Chinese Marital Arts. We offer programs from children
to adult, for
beginners, intermediate, advanced, and special classes for Martial Arts
Instructors. Private lessons are also available for all levels of
instruction.
The primary style we teach is Shaolin Martial Arts, however for those interested, additional styles are available, including Xing Yi, Ba Gua, Taiji, and Qi Gong (deep breathing). Classes at our school provide practical self-defense training, as well as physical conditioning. Through traditional Shaolin Martial Arts training methods, students improve their flexibility, balance and reflexes through a regimen of stretching, technique drills and various martial arts forms (a choreographed movement employing martial arts technique), from basic to advanced.

"My experience at SMMS has brought me rewards beyond just learning Kung Fu. Apart from learning this new art form, it's provided my son and I a family and friends beyond anything we could have expected. The staff is truly eager to help you learn and discuss any topics you can imagine. All of this has contributed to our personal growth not just in Kung Fu, but in life." Shawn Nesbit, Student |

What Sets Our School Apart From Other Schools |
||
| There are many
reasons that set our school apart, however most importantly is our commitment
to our students and seriousness of purpose regarding martial
arts.
Regarding students, we understand that each new student comes to us with a variety of skill level and physical ability. With that, we work with you at your current level to bring you forward to improve your physical conditioning and advance your martial arts skills. Whether a student is a child, or adult, all of our instructors understand that you are making a commitment to improve yourself through martial arts training. We hold the value of your commitment paramount and always give your our best in sharing martial arts skills, knowledge and application for your benefit. |

"My son, daughter and myself study at SMMS. For kids, I find that they enjoy learning martial arts, because it challenges them in positive ways through accomplishment, leading to confidence building. For myself (and the kids, too), I find my body has become stronger, more flexible, more agile, plus the self-defense part in learning martial arts. Regarding the instructors at SMMS, they teach from their heart, giving you their all" John Yaschur III, Student |

One of the key elements of our school is that we are directly linked to the world famous Shaolin Monks and Shaolin Temple in Henan Province, China. Our founder and director, Master Kevin Zhen Kang Sun studied under Grand Master Shi De Zhuo, one of the top Shaolin Monks, as well as other highly regarded Chinese Martial Arts Masters and Grandmasters. Grand Master Shi De Zhuo is also the Grandmaster of movie star, Jet Li. Through the unique and direct relationship of Master Sun with the Shaolin Monks and temple, it affords both our instructors and students a unique opportunity and benefit to learn traditional Chinese Shaolin Martial Arts in it's purest form. Additionally, for our instructors and students, an annual trip is planned to visit China. The purpose of this journey is to experience the culture visiting various locations, but more importantly, to visit the Shaolin Temple for demonstrations and training provided to us by the Monks. As an example of the mutual commitment from our school to the Shaolin Monks and from the Shaolin Monks to our school, the Abbot of the Shaolin Temple, Grandmaster Shi De Li and Master Sun's Master, Grandmaster Shi Di Zhou traveled from China to our school, and the University of Delaware, to lecture, demonstrate advanced forms of Shaolin Martial Arts and instruct us. This exchange of visits is an annual event to insure the highest level of instruction for our instructors and students.

"I have been a student at SMMS for 2-years. I first started taking classes for physical benefits, however the benefits are beyond what I ever thought they would be. I have found much more. Kung Fu has given me more energy and confidence in everything I do on a daily basis. Master Sun and his instructors have a great knowledge in all aspects of Kung Fu. They bring a great enthusiasm to the classroom, which keeps me coming back for more. I can't say enough about SMMS and would highly recommend it to anyone" Richard Young, Student |
