THE BEGINNING:
Black Tiger Academy has gone through many stages of change since its birth in 1987. While constantly growing and changing to be able to accommodate the needs of the general public, Black Tiger Academy represents one of the highest educational institutions of Martial Arts.

THE FUNDAMENTAL PURPOSE:
The fundamental purpose of Angel’s Black Tiger Academy is to provide the students safe and solid stepping stones of knowledge and experience that can be used towards the achievements in the Chinese Arts and the disciplines.

THE MAJOR BENEFITS:
For centuries the Chinese Arts and Disciplines have provided the way for all who studied and trained, to know the meaning of: RESPECT, ENDURANCE, CONFIDENCE, HUMILITY, PATIENCE and COMPASSION. From training, one learned the ways to defend themselves and others. The Arts of exercise for all ages were taught, along with teachings that allowed a student to personally cultivate the mind, body and heart (spirit) to a degree so that clarity and peace of mind were attained. Health, Happiness and Prosperity on all levels are tangible results that are brought on by training in the Martial Arts.

THE METHOD:
The beginning classes are in the Shaolin Cheun style of the art of Chinese Kung Fu. This style originated in the famous SHAOLIN TEMPLES of Northern China where the Monks practiced the movements of the TIGER, LEOPARD, SNAKE, CRANE and DRAGON. Also in the class are the rare movements of self defense found in the Monkey and Preying Mantis fighting styles. Students will be exposed to the Art of traditional Weaponry. The beginning student will see results quickly from their studies and training. An advancement program is in effect whereby the student will be promoted to various colors of SASHES. Training does not end at the level of BLACK SASH. There are five more posts of very intense study where the student will be introduced to the subtler art requiring a degree of moral, emotional and physical development.
