YMAA seeks to preserve, develop, and refine traditional Kung Fu (Gongfu), Tai Chi (Taijiquan), and Qigong to an exceptionally high standard through an international, mutually-supportive community and network. We openly welcome, teach, learn from, and support all who share their knowledge about any related external or internal art.
At YMAA, our vision is to use Chinese culture and martial arts training to foster a global nation of like-minded people who help each other achieve their goals.
We aim to build students’ confidence, physical health, mental focus, and self-discipline. Our school promotes traditional methods of practice, challenging ourselves and each other physically, mentally, and spiritually. We encourage creativity, attention to detail, and correctness in the arts. Throughout our training, we strive to embody martial morality: humility, respect, righteousness, trust, loyalty, will, endurance, patience, perseverance, and courage.
