leadership and teamwork, the satisfaction of knowing that you have
accomplished a most respected goal, then we welcome you to our class.

system, in achieving physical fitness and confidence in oneself.
Shou Shu provides an unequaled form of gaining supreme control of the body
and a sharp discipline of the mind.
The martial art you are about to learn requires discipline, alertness and
dedication from the student who is learning its techniques. These qualities
are particularly important while you are acquiring the skill of basic
movements.
To master the art of Shou Shu you must be prepared to practice constantly
and with patience. Remember that you are laying the foundations for one of
the most sophisticated, graceful and powerful martial arts which have been

SHOU SHU
Shou Shou is an application art. We use the fighting styles of seven
different animals to develop fighting skills. It's called an
application art because we have eliminated all the wasted motion and
teach the self-defense application part of the technique. The term
Shou Shu means "Fighting ways of the beast" or "Beast Art".
THE BELTS
Students of Karate show their progress in the art by the color of the
belt they wear. Each belt is a step toward the goal of Black Belt We
have requirement sheets at the school store. Students take a progress
check during their regular class time. The purpose of the progress
check is to make sute each student is progressing on schedule. Your
progress starts with your white belt. At each progress check, you will
be assessed as to your progress and informed as to what areas in your
material you need to apply special attention to. During your private
lesson all of your material will be observed and validated by a black
belt instructor. The progression towards BLACK BELT is as follows; Low
Yellow, High Yellow, Low Orange, High Orange, Low Purple, High Purple,
Low Blue, High Blue, Low Green, High Green, Low Brown, Brown 2, Brown
1, Black Belt Prep and finally Black. Good luck on your self-defense
adventure and your climb to black belt.

"IT'S NEVER TOO LATE TO ESTABLISH
POSITIVE ALTERNATIVES"
Today,
more than ever before, we are witnessing an increasingly belligerent social
attitude in schools, homes, and on our city streets. Profanity, lawless
behavior, drugs and violence have become far too common, Peer pressure to
emulate undesirable behavior has mounted to unbelievable and sometimes
irresistible levels for our younger generation. Children are in desperate
need of a support system which will help them develop self-confidence and
cultivate independent thinking, leadership and a productive and ethical way
of life. Martial arts training can be a valuable tool by which children may
strive for these goals.
Parents who invest in Shou Shu Chinese Martial Arts training provide their
sons or daughters with the opportunity to develop a strong identity with
positive values and attitudes. Not only will children receive professional
instruction in an unsurpassed system of self-defense, which will boost
self-confidence and promote an increased sense of well-being, but they will
also learn to strive toward self-betterment. Other benefits of Shou Shu
training include increased fitness, improved balance, agility, coordination
and concentration.
In Shou Shu, skills and philosophies for successful daily living are
stressed such as: Respect for others, Loyalty, Manners. Friendship,
Self-Discipline, Self-Control and Achievement through goal setting are
paramount to Shou Shu. Shou Shu martial arts training can be an excellent
resource in helping your child develop and maintain positive behaviors,
attitudes and goals.
