Although they may have a different emphasis each style improves flexibility, strength, coordination, cardio-vascular capacity, confidence, self-discipline, relaxation, awareness, and stress reduction! Each program also provides effective self-defense skills. Since every student will have their own interest and goals, they may choose to focus on only one art, or be diverse in their martial arts experience.
