What Is Ching Sai Do?

Carolina Self Defense and Primal Force Fitness teach a combination of Kempo, Small Circle Ju Jit Su, Hapkido, Kung-fu, Go Ju Ryu, Tae Kwon Do, Boxing, Aikido, and ground fighting.

All of our classes are structured around safety, discipline, self-confidence, self-esteem, self-improvement, goal setting, and respect towards parents, teachers, classmates, employers, and everyone around you. Steve is a unique talent in that he is equally skilled in teaching 4 1/2 year old "Little Dragons" as they start their martial arts journey, up to and through to seasoned martial artists of all ages attempting to earn the coveted "black belt."

American Ching Sai Do is a terrific way to learn the various styles. We believe you will be stronger and healthier, both physically and mentally, and will be able to attain any goal in life.

Little Warriors Program

This program will develop, promote and improve the teachings your child has learned at home. You will be amazed by the level of martial arts ability and confidence your child can achieve at this early age.

Goals of this Program:

Develop social skills. One of the main functions of the martial arts class will be to promote social skills with other children and adults. Students will learn to show respect for others with a bow, saying encouraging comments to others, working and talking with adult teachers and helpers, to learning to introduce themselves to others, and learning to be partners with others. Social skills will also be evident in playing group games, learning to line up and following instructions.

Develop motor skills. Every activity you will see during a class session has a definite purpose. While the students are having fun with games and relays, they are unknowingly developing motor skills appropriate for their age. This will include coordination skills, right and left side development, flexibility, muscle strength, timing, speed drills, mobility skills, etc. Even though some activities may not directly be 'martial arts,' all will contribute to the martial arts techniques being developed. In addition, martial arts training is one of the best sports for overall development that will have benefits that will transfer to other sports.

Promote self discipline. While we try to make classes fun and exciting, there will be times when martial arts requirements are just plain work to learn. This is where self discipline will gradually develop through practice, repetition and memorization. At this age, practice at home should be light and fun. Self discipline will involve the control of emotions and behavior in and out of the dojo.

Develop learning skills. The learning process is multifaceted. Learning involves the combination of mental, physical and emotional skills including listening ability, following directions, becoming aware of one's body and how it moves in space, receiving supportive and encouraging instruction. Age specific learning skills and styles will be important.

Teach child safety. This will include dialing 911, rules to follow when around strangers, the correct way to talk on the phone or answer the door, our basic self defense techniques, and much more. Our goal is to teach these concepts in a non-threatening environment through games, discussion and practice, supported by the comfort of parental involvement and trustful teachers.

Develop self confidence. You might consider the development of self confidence and self esteem as the culmination of all of the above points. Every martial arts student comes with specific goals and desires. By attaining these goals the student builds confidence and establishes higher goals, not just in martial arts training but for all aspects of life.

Adult Program

We train our students to the best of their ability. Some students come to us in shape, while others have come to us 100 pounds overweight. Most come to us with limited flexibility. Adults start at any age, as we have had some adults who started as late as age 45, and have still earned their black belts. As a student, you are looked upon as an individual, never compared to anyone else. Our instructor will be there every step of the way. All that is expected of you is a willingness to try.

Here are some benefits you can expect from Martial Arts training:

Fitness - The principals of martial arts techniques are based on the design of your body. For power, you develop the larger, powerful muscles of the torso. The speed of the techniques comes from the fast, agile muscles of the arms and legs. As you progress in you will learn to coordinate this speed and power, and develop concentration to focus all of your body's strength into a small, hard striking surface like the edge of the hand or the heel of the foot.

Self-defense - Speed and power developed through the martial arts is used against the soft vulnerable parts of an attacker's body, the result can be deadly if necessary. Martial arts allows a woman to emphasize many of her natural physical strengths, such as power in the legs, while learning a method of self-defense efficient against a much larger opponent. Knowing you can defend yourself, your confidence will grow. Confidence alone is usually enough to deter potential attackers.

Self-confidence - This does not come naturally for many people, but self- confidence can be developed over a period of time. Through Martial Arts, as you accomplish new goals, your confidence level increases. Martial arts training instills a sense of discipline and self-confidence that can carry over to all aspects of your life.
