Adults classes are suited to those 14 years and older.

Self Defense

Two martial artists practicing martial arts in a dojo with wooden floors, a punching bag, and a mirror in the background. One person is wearing a white gi with a green belt, while the other is wearing a white gi with an unrelated colored belt. They seem to be engaging in a martial arts drill or sparring.

Self defense curriculum includes strikes, throws, and escapes from compromising situations. Students work as partners to practice these principles while in a safe and collaborative environment.

Fitness

A woman with long dark hair in a braid practicing judo on a padded mat in a gymnasium, wearing a white gi with a patch on the sleeve and a black belt. In the background, other martial artists in white gis with various belt colors are standing, some are talking, and a blue score display is on the wall.

Classes include warm ups with cardio and strength training. Exercises are geared towards improving students’ mental and physical fitness.

Kata

A group of people practicing martial arts in a dojo. They are wearing traditional white gi uniforms with black belts, and some have patches on their sleeves. They are performing a stance or technique with clenched fists, standing on a wooden floor with wall-mounted racks of martial arts weapons visible in the background.

A kata is a standardized form that students learn to train martial techniques, performance, and expression.

Weapons Training

A person wearing a white martial arts uniform with a green belt practicing karate in front of a wall mirror in a martial arts studio, holding a wooden staff with both hands, with karate weapons displayed on the wall behind them.

Cuong Nhu students train with both the tambo (short stick) and bo (staff), learning a combination of strikes, blocks, disarms, and kata.
