Isabella's story

I started Kung-Fu for Christ 3 years ago and it has really changed my life.
It has made me more open to learning new things and taking opportunities, even if I'm hesitant. I have learned to be dedicated when I choose to do something, and not stop in the middle and set it aside. I also learned to take action when something is not right, to not be afraid to step up for what I believe is right. I have learned to value patience: sometimes it’s hard to understand that you have to keep going, even if you’re really struggling to do something. At school, I show the leadership I have developed at Kung-Fu, and put it in practice by teaching others something they might not know. I have become more social and not afraid to step outside of my comfort zone when I talk to someone. I joined STORM because I wanted to take opportunities and I thought it might be a way to grow through my faith and leadership skills. Through STORM, I have learned to value teaching more, and discover that not everything is as easy as it seems. STORM shows me how to grow in my school life and understand things on a deeper level. Since starting with my Dad, we have both found a warm and welcoming community where we have both made very good friends and family. I believe that Kung-Fu for Christ is not just a place where we can train and become better athletes, but also become better people, more connected to the community, and God. |

This program has meant a lot to our family. Over the years, we have watched our quiet, introverted children become skilled martial artists, confident in their ability to teach and be leaders. Most importantly, though, is watching them witness their faith. Kung-Fu for Christ offers a unique and amazing program that empowers people to become the best versions of themselves…One of the many things I admire about the program is the leaders’ ability to look at each student and draw out their particular strengths and abilities…Their longevity speaks to the value of the program.

Parent story

Our kids initially started attending Kung-Fu for Christ because their friends were attending and it was an affordable option for a physical activity for them. It has been such a blessing in their lives over the years and to our family, beyond what we could have expected. The instructors have sown into our kids' lives spiritually and built such strong relationships with them which we are so grateful for, and they have built some really strong friendships with others they have been training with as well. While developing some physical disciplines through their training they have also been growing in their spiritual disciplines as well. We believe in the work of Kung-Fu for Christ and cannot wait to see what God continues to do in and through this ministry as it continues to grow and reach, mentor and teach others.
