SJS After School Academy Martial Arts

• The St. Joseph After School Academy is please to
  offer a Martial Arts program to our students.
  Mr. Russell McWhorter (an SJS dad) will be
  instructing these classes.
• The curriculum features the core elements of Wing
  Chun kung fu, Tai Chi, and Chinese kempo.  Wing
  Chun is most often associated with being Bruce
  Lees original style of training and has been
  considered by many as the most efficient and
  effective self-defense training for all people
  regardless of their physical attributes.  Tai
  Chi, while most noted for being a method of
  health and relaxation, also is a very powerful
  martial art.  Chinese kempo provides efficient,
  direct self-defense patterns that round out the
  cirriculum.
• The common thread of these arts is a set of
  underlying principles that emphasizes controlling
  oneself.  The idea is that if you can control
  yourself, you can control other people.  The
  mental and physical attributesincreased
  mind/body coordination, improved concentration,
  and focuseasily carry over into other daily
  activities whether the student is studying for an
  exam or playing other sports. Get more
