Dragon Crane Martial Arts

movement arts for strength and balance

Our Tuesday and Thursday classes offers community space for LGBTQA+ individuals, and focuses on stress reduction through classic martial arts training that promotes strength and agility. This class covers classic Shaolin Kenpo, and also introduces elements Ting Sing Qigong (Jook Lum Ting Sing Tong Long Pai) to develop internal power.

Shaolin Kenpo is a highly accessible martial art, and is suitable for anyone seeking to build the Strength and Balance that comes with studying a karate. I encourage all ages and abilities to join without hesitation. We guarantee your success, whether you just want to learn some self-defense, or you desire to join a belt track and pursue a Black Belt. You're never to old to learn this art.

This is a safe space for those who seek to learn karate, but may be reticent because of how they identify. I understand and honor that experience, and I wish to provide a safe and welcoming place for people to learn.

My commitment to the LGBTQA+ community is lifelong, and deeply personal.

What People Say

Slide

I have been taking QiGong classes with Sifu Robyn for several months now and can feel the beneficial effects in my body and mind. I always feel better after every class. Sometimes, during the class I think this is so simple and slow, how can it be helpful? I feel the meditative benefits of the movements with the deep focused breath work. I feel improvements with my balance and strength. I had a goal of being able to play Pickleball and I am now doing it! I'm very grateful for this experience.

I have really enjoyed the Qi Gong class you offer. What I love about the class:
- getting grounded
- movement - muscles I don't use every day
- massaging my internal organs
- getting healthier, stronger, better balance
- the pace is perfect for me at this time.
Many of the movements we do are similar and reinforce my P.T. exercises.
Thank you so much for offering us this opportunity

As I age, Qigong is the perfect class for me. Anyone at any age or physical ability can learn and practice it. No special equipment or clothing is needed. It meets me where I am on any given day.
- The in-person class with time for questions, explanations and demonstrations is very helpful.
- As a result of the class I have noticed an increase in my energy level. I am less stressed. I feel physically and emotionally stronger and more flexible. The benefits are subtle yet profound which reflect my opinion of the actual practice as well.
