8:00 PM - 9:00 PM	Wing Chun Kung Fu - Wing Chun Kung Fu (winter) Wing Chun is an old Chinese martial art that was developed for warriors. In fact, it was the first martial art EVER to be created by a woman. Therefore, Wing Chun does not rely on strength in its fighting skills. It is an art of speed and angles. There is little kicking in Wing Chun as this art was designed for fighting in tight spaces… being up close and personal with your opponent. That is why Wing Chun is 80% handwork and only 20% kicking. There is much footwork involved as students must take the angles… but little kicking. FAQ: How is a Wing Chun class structured? What happens in training? Class structure varies as there are many things to learn about Wing Chun. Many times, students work on basics… footwork, angles, etc. Some days it is an intense workout. And other classes are based on theory. Why do we kick this way? What is the history behind that technique? Because the more a student understands why to kick this way – what the purpose is – then he or she will be able to apply that technique all the better. FAQ: Do you train with weapons in Wing Chun? Yes. Weapons are practical. When fighting, the first thing almost any person does is look for a weapon. After all, weapons are the great equalizer. That is why we teach weapons from the start. And in our Wing Chun training, students are taught both the Butterfly Swords and knife work. FAQ: Do you earn Sashes and rank at The Martial Arts Studio? Yes. Testing and graduation occur when the Sifu believes it is necessary and time.Instructor: Sensei Ben La FranceMeet the instructor: Sensei Ben La France has been training in the martial arts for 50+ years and operating The Martial Arts Studio and Makoto After-School program in the Downingtown/Exton area since 1998. Please see the attached resume for an accounting of his accomplishments, accreditation's, and martial arts lineage.

8:00 PM - 9:00 PM	Wing Chun Kung Fu - Wing Chun Kung Fu (winter) Wing Chun is an old Chinese martial art that was developed for warriors. In fact, it was the first martial art EVER to be created by a woman. Therefore, Wing Chun does not rely on strength in its fighting skills. It is an art of speed and angles. There is little kicking in Wing Chun as this art was designed for fighting in tight spaces… being up close and personal with your opponent. That is why Wing Chun is 80% handwork and only 20% kicking. There is much footwork involved as students must take the angles… but little kicking. FAQ: How is a Wing Chun class structured? What happens in training? Class structure varies as there are many things to learn about Wing Chun. Many times, students work on basics… footwork, angles, etc. Some days it is an intense workout. And other classes are based on theory. Why do we kick this way? What is the history behind that technique? Because the more a student understands why to kick this way – what the purpose is – then he or she will be able to apply that technique all the better. FAQ: Do you train with weapons in Wing Chun? Yes. Weapons are practical. When fighting, the first thing almost any person does is look for a weapon. After all, weapons are the great equalizer. That is why we teach weapons from the start. And in our Wing Chun training, students are taught both the Butterfly Swords and knife work. FAQ: Do you earn Sashes and rank at The Martial Arts Studio? Yes. Testing and graduation occur when the Sifu believes it is necessary and time.Instructor: Sensei Ben La FranceMeet the instructor: Sensei Ben La France has been training in the martial arts for 50+ years and operating The Martial Arts Studio and Makoto After-School program in the Downingtown/Exton area since 1998. Please see the attached resume for an accounting of his accomplishments, accreditation's, and martial arts lineage.

It’s about becoming a better person who will… Be purposeful Care from the inside out Attack life with intent. That is why the Intro to Martial Arts program is built on the martial art of Aiki-jujutsu. As one of the OLDEST martial arts, Aiki-jujutsu is a TOTAL martial art. One that focuses on developing the whole body, including the strength of will.Yes, your kids will learn how to punch, kick, and even throw with Aiki-jujutsu. But, they’ll also be developing body strength and stamina as the Intro to Martial Arts program teaches: Quality push-ups, pull-ups, and sit-ups. Basic self-defense techniques. Throws and lifts. All that translates to being able to jump higher… throw a ball farther… and kick a ball harder. It also means that your children will not only be strong, but FEEL strong. And with true strength of body and mind, they’ll be able to use their training when needed. They’ll be able to stand strong against bullies… be self-aware of situations… and make smart decisions.Cost of uniform and t-shirt are included in the fee.

It’s about becoming a better person who will… Be purposeful Care from the inside out Attack life with intent. That is why the Intro to Martial Arts program is built on the martial art of Aiki-jujutsu. As one of the OLDEST martial arts, Aiki-jujutsu is a TOTAL martial art. One that focuses on developing the whole body, including the strength of will.Yes, your kids will learn how to punch, kick, and even throw with Aiki-jujutsu. But, they’ll also be developing body strength and stamina as the Intro to Martial Arts program teaches: Quality push-ups, pull-ups, and sit-ups. Basic self-defense techniques. Throws and lifts. All that translates to being able to jump higher… throw a ball farther… and kick a ball harder. It also means that your children will not only be strong, but FEEL strong. And with true strength of body and mind, they’ll be able to use their training when needed. They’ll be able to stand strong against bullies… be self-aware of situations… and make smart decisions.Cost of uniform and t-shirt are included in the fee.

Pieces will be fired and can be picked up once they are done. Wool Art Painting Workshop Wool watercolor is an exceptional art where the piece is created by layering dry wool layer by layer onto fabric (not needle felting). This unique technique allows you to create stunning art with 3-D effect, keeping all secrets of creation under the glass. Under the weight of glass these complex layers of wool appear unbelievably vibrant and rich. Working with wool is a meditative process with therapeutic effects where small motor skills exercise, calm down, and relax the nervous system. During the workshop Maria will lead you step by step and help you finish this richly colored artwork- ready to hang! Choose any picture or painting to recreate in wool.Welcome Home Gnome!

8:00 PM - 9:00 PM	Wing Chun Kung Fu - Wing Chun Kung Fu (spring) Wing Chun is an old Chinese martial art that was developed for warriors. In fact, it was the first martial art EVER to be created by a woman. Therefore, Wing Chun does not rely on strength in its fighting skills. It is an art of speed and angles. There is little kicking in Wing Chun as this art was designed for fighting in tight spaces… being up close and personal with your opponent. That is why Wing Chun is 80% handwork and only 20% kicking. There is much footwork involved as students must take the angles… but little kicking. FAQ: How is a Wing Chun class structured? What happens in training? Class structure varies as there are many things to learn about Wing Chun. Many times, students work on basics… footwork, angles, etc. Some days it is an intense workout. And other classes are based on theory. Why do we kick this way? What is the history behind that technique? Because the more a student understands why to kick this way – what the purpose is – then he or she will be able to apply that technique all the better. FAQ: Do you train with weapons in Wing Chun? Yes. Weapons are practical. When fighting, the first thing almost any person does is look for a weapon. After all, weapons are the great equalizer. That is why we teach weapons from the start. And in our Wing Chun training, students are taught both the Butterfly Swords and knife work. FAQ: Do you earn Sashes and rank at The Martial Arts Studio? Yes. Testing and graduation occur when the Sifu believes it is necessary and time.Instructor: Sensei Ben La FranceMeet the instructor: Sensei Ben La France has been training in the martial arts for 50+ years and operating The Martial Arts Studio and Makoto After-School program in the Downingtown/Exton area since 1998. Please see the attached resume for an accounting of his accomplishments, accreditation's, and martial arts lineage.

3:45 PM - 5:00 PM	Intro to Martial Arts (afterschool program) - Intro to Martial Arts (UH) The goal of the Makoto after-school “Intro to Martial Arts” is to build heroes… kids who can do amazing things. And we can’t do that by teaching a martial sport like Taekwondo or MMA, because martial arts are more than just kicking and punching to win a trophy. It’s about becoming a better person who will… Be purposeful Care from the inside out Attack life with intent. That is why the Intro to Martial Arts program is built on the martial art of Aiki-jujutsu. As one of the OLDEST martial arts, Aiki-jujutsu is a TOTAL martial art. One that focuses on developing the whole body, including the strength of will.Yes, your kids will learn how to punch, kick, and even throw with Aiki-jujutsu. But, they’ll also be developing body strength and stamina as the Intro to Martial Arts program teaches: Quality push-ups, pull-ups, and sit-ups. Basic self-defense techniques. Throws and lifts. All that translates to being able to jump higher… throw a ball farther… and kick a ball harder. It also means that your children will not only be strong, but FEEL strong. And with true strength of body and mind, they’ll be able to use their training when needed. They’ll be able to stand strong against bullies… be self-aware of situations… and make smart decisions.Cost of uniform and t-shirt are included in the fee.

8:00 PM - 9:00 PM	Wing Chun Kung Fu - Wing Chun Kung Fu (spring) Wing Chun is an old Chinese martial art that was developed for warriors. In fact, it was the first martial art EVER to be created by a woman. Therefore, Wing Chun does not rely on strength in its fighting skills. It is an art of speed and angles. There is little kicking in Wing Chun as this art was designed for fighting in tight spaces… being up close and personal with your opponent. That is why Wing Chun is 80% handwork and only 20% kicking. There is much footwork involved as students must take the angles… but little kicking. FAQ: How is a Wing Chun class structured? What happens in training? Class structure varies as there are many things to learn about Wing Chun. Many times, students work on basics… footwork, angles, etc. Some days it is an intense workout. And other classes are based on theory. Why do we kick this way? What is the history behind that technique? Because the more a student understands why to kick this way – what the purpose is – then he or she will be able to apply that technique all the better. FAQ: Do you train with weapons in Wing Chun? Yes. Weapons are practical. When fighting, the first thing almost any person does is look for a weapon. After all, weapons are the great equalizer. That is why we teach weapons from the start. And in our Wing Chun training, students are taught both the Butterfly Swords and knife work. FAQ: Do you earn Sashes and rank at The Martial Arts Studio? Yes. Testing and graduation occur when the Sifu believes it is necessary and time.Instructor: Sensei Ben La FranceMeet the instructor: Sensei Ben La France has been training in the martial arts for 50+ years and operating The Martial Arts Studio and Makoto After-School program in the Downingtown/Exton area since 1998. Please see the attached resume for an accounting of his accomplishments, accreditation's, and martial arts lineage.
