Cool place. After about 2 years of training here, these are my impressions: The kung fu classes are very traditional, so expect there to be discussion of traditional Chinese medicine and spirituality -- qi/chi, qigong, wu xing, meridians, etc. They focus a lot on complex forms and chin na (joint lock) techniques. They teach both external and internal styles of Kung Fu; the internal styles are taught at the Emperor's Long Fist class. The Kung Fu classes occasionally involve training with staffs.
I enjoyed my time training Kung Fu here, personally, but if that is not what you are looking for, your other option is to look at the Arnis class.... read full review

Best martial arts in Boone and I feel fortunate to train at such a reputable academy. Please note: The address stated by Google is incorrect and the correct address is 2210 US-421 Boone, NC 28607. From downtown Boone intersection of Depot St. and Mast General Store head north on King St. (US-421) towards Tennessee and the school is 1.5 miles on the right.
