Let’s say, for example, that an extremely talented athlete comes to the school. His work is outstanding from the first. He progresses much more rapidly than most students; in fact, after six months, he considers himself a good, true martial arts practitioner. Wrong. What’s missing is not the effort or the energy. What’s missing is the time. Time, effort and energy, the three combined, are what’s necessary to make a true martial artist… in any endeavor. Along with adhering to the ancient definition of mma, The Academy of Kempo Martial Arts for the area of Lynnwood concentrates on a holistic approach to martial arts.

The usual ego-centered approaches are no more appropriate in Lynnwood Martial Arts Academy than they would be in the ancient Shaolin Temple. If you’re looking in the Lynnwood area for martial arts training that provides you opportunities to amass tournament trophies and belts, try something other than Kung Fu. Instruction is one-on-one with serious professionals, and the public is not allowed to watch. There was a reason for the secrecy surrounding the Shaolin Temple, and there is a reason for the type of private approach taken at Federal Way’s Academy of Kempo Martial Arts.
