The focus at the Mountain Warrior academy is on functional self defense, but even more so on integrity and your overall health as a person; the teacher is lives his kung fu, and is a passionate advocate for working toward your best potential. Sometimes the lectures on «applying kung fu in your daily life,» are more inspiring than the workouts and technical training! On of the things I like is how strong the school community is, and how welcome new students are made to feel. A culture of mutual respect is fostered by the teacher, and carried through by the students. Four stars. It’s a unique school that puts your growth as its highest priority.
