Program Information

Kung-Fu Program

The Kung-Fu program teaches each student the traditional Chinese Martial Art of Tien Shan Pai Kung-Fu. Tien Shan Pai blends kicking, punching, blocking, sweeping and throwing with the characteristic footwork typical of the Chinese Martial Arts. This program also includes instruction in Martial Chi Kung, Chin-Na, Shuai Chaio, Weapons, and the history and traditions of the Chinese Martial Arts. Ryan Velivlis, one of the owners of Freedom Martial Arts & Wellness Center, trains directly under the Grandmaster of the style, is a 2nd Degree Black Sash with The International Tien Shan Pai Association, and ranked 3rd Degree by The World Kuoshu Federation, teaches and/or supervises all of the Kung-Fu classes.

Kung-Fu Kids

This highly structured program is designed for 5 year olds who are not yet ready for the regular Kung-Fu program. The classes will meet twice per week for 30 minutes each, and teach self-defense and basic techniques to increase coordination and balance. The program will prepare the child for the regular Kung-Fu program by teaching focus, respect and discipline. It will also help to increase the student's attention span, confidence and social skills necessary in school.

Tai Chi Chuan Program

Tai Chi Chuan is an ancient form of Moving Meditation used for martial and medical purposes. Freedom Martial Arts & Wellness Center teaches Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan, Chi Kung for Health, and Pushing Hands. Tai Chi Chuan has been proven to correct many medical conditions, including high and low blood pressure, arthritis, asthma, digestive disorders, etc. Tai Chi Chuan is also an excellent way to relieve stress and increase “Chi” (Life Energy).

Kuoshu Lei Tai Fighting Program

The Kuoshu Lei Tai Fighting Program takes the traditional techniques of Tien Shan Pai and intensifies the training and conditioning, so that the student is prepared for Full Contact Fighting matches. This class stresses physical conditioning and fighting, however, students in this class learn one empty-hand form and one weapon form to qualify for International Martial Arts Tournaments. The Kuoshu Lei Tai Fighting Classes are offered through small group instruction, or as private classes.

Private Lessons

At the request of the student, Freedom Martial Arts & Wellness Center will provide private, one-to-one instruction in any of the Kung-Fu Programs currently offered. The private lessons are scheduled at the convenience of both parties, and paid on either a pay-as-you-go basis, or through a separate monthly agreement.

Reiki Treatments

Reiki, literally "Spiritually Guided Life Energy", is the art of healing through energy. It is a powerful but gentle hands-on healing technique that treats and balances the whole being (body, emotions, mind and spirit). Reiki is an extremely relaxing procedure that reduces stress, increases energy, diminishes pain, and provides a general feeling of peace and well-being. Reiki has been known to bring about incredible results, including reducing and eradicating pain, aiding in the healing of broken bones, and even curing chronic and fatal illnesses. A specially designed tranquil “Reiki Room” is located separate from the classroom. This service is offered to both current members and the general public. Both Alyssa and Ryan Velivlis, the owners of Freedom Martial Arts & Wellness Center, are Certified Reiki Practitioners and Alyssa is a Reiki Master Teacher.
