My name is Sifu Cathal Walsh. I am the founder of Island Kung-Fu Family Martial Arts Academy.

So, Why Should You Enroll At Our School?
Let me first say that I believe that the martial arts have the potential to provide enormous benefit to all people. Whether that is actually realized will depend greatly on choosing the right school for you or your child based on your family's personal life philosophy and objectives. There are many aspects about our school that influence families to choose Island Kung-Fu. Here are some typical reasons...
1. Environment... Island Kung-Fu is a positive place to be! We promote an atmosphere of respect and self-discipline. Our students like being around other people who are positive, hard working, and respectful. It is this environment or "culture" of our school that is appealing to so many families.
2. Character Education...We teach much more than just punching and kicking! Our character education program , taught via our monthly Powerful Words curriculum is an integral part of the martial arts education our students receive. We don't rest on the reputation that the martial arts develop self-discipline, confidence, respect, integrity, and focus, we actually teach students how to develop these attributes for themselves! Lessons both on and off the training floor give students the opportunity to develop into well rounded martial artists, ready to take on life's challenges.
3. Family... We are a family martial arts school. The majority of our classes are family classes. This creates a certain atmosphere within the school; one without macho behaviour or aggressiveness. Moms, dads and children working out, learning, and having fun together.
4. Respect... From the moment you inquire at our academy to the day you receive your Black Belt we are committed to you being treated in a courteous, professional, and respectful manner. Our instructors are professionally trained not only in the martial arts but also in the area of developing individual potential. You and your child will be treated as an individual and supported throughout your training.
5. Quality...Our training programs and classes are organized, well structured and delivered with the highest level of instructional expertise. Rigorous training and a high standard for attitude and skill development is the result. We are a martial arts school and thus have high expectations for our students.
6. Results... Our students get the results they are looking for! Whether it's getting in shape for adults, learning self-defense or improving confidence and self-discipline for children, our school delivers on what we say we do. Students stay at our school because our training programs improve our students' lives and the results are undeniable!
I invite parents of children aged 4-16 and adults of all ages who are interested in receiving the kind of benefits mentioned above to call today at
250.701.0222 or email at instructor@islandkungfu.com
to schedule a no-obligation information meeting. Join the over 1000 students who have already benefited from training at our school. I look forward to meeting with you soon. Begin the quest to be your best!
Sifu Cathal Walsh
p.s. Now I know that words are one thing and seeing and experiencing are quite another!

I'll even include a complimentary uniform so that you and your child feel part of of our school. Just email today at
instructor@isalndkungfu.com
