Welcome to
The Dragon Well
School of Kung Fu
Webpage
The Dragon Well offers programs in both Internal and External styles of
martial arts for Adults and adolescents over 12.
Internal Martial Arts, like
Tai Chi Chuan, Hsing I Chuan, and Ba Gua Zhang are well recognized to help
preserve health and well-being. Derived from Taoist Yoga, they assist
circulation and energetic flow within the body and help generate a calm mind
while supporting any internal healing processes. At higher levels they are
considered the profoundest and subtlest of all martial arts.
External Martial Arts, like
Karate, Taekwondo or Shaolin Kung Fu are good exercise and easily learned for
basic self defense and self development. Based on ancient systems of movement,
they train strength, flexibility, coordination and strategy.
The Dragon Well system provides a clear and progressive curriculum supported
by traditional classics and western bio-sciences, to help students make
consistent progress in these ancient, unique studies.
The Dragon Well school is a project of the KiDo
Institute, Inc. an independent, 501(c)(3) non-profit
educational organization and not a franchise school of any chain
organization nor any particular master. Dragon Well programs do not employ
third party contracts.
