Tai Shu Do 太術道 when translated is "The Way of Supreme Techniques" and it is a fantastic style of martial art for both self defense and physical fitness.

Tai Shu Do is a combination of several different styles of martial arts uniquely blended to provide the most realistic combat self defense for the streets.

Techniques include but are not limited to empty hand fighting using all forms of striking, punching, kicking, knee strikes, elbow strikes, choke holds, joint locks, throws, pressure points and ground fighting. This complete combination of different styles makes Tai Shu Do one of the most efficient forms of self-defense.

Mastery also requires the use of traditional weapons. Modern day training defending oneself against knives, guns and other potential arms are thoroughly trained as well.

Tai Shu Do major influences are American & Muay Thai Kickboxing, Kenpo Karate, Aikido, JuJitsu, and Shaolin Iron Tiger Kung Fu. There are also many various minor influences.

Bob Yoder's Kung Fu & Kickboxing Academy is the only marital arts school to feature the 6 taught as 1 program for people of all ages who want the most comprehensive conditioning and self-defense skills available.

What is Kung Fu?

Kung Fu means "skill and effort" and can describe anything that one needs to spend time training in and becoming skillful in. When it means "martial art," Kung Fu refers to the hundreds of styles of martial arts, all of which are different. However, there is one thing that all martial arts have in common and that is the idea that Kung Fu itself is merely skill of techniques.

The real value of martial arts goes beyond self defense. It lies within the strong traditional training that all Kung Fu styles emphasize: training that teaches the student to respect the teacher and the teacher's advice; to be respectful towards other Kung Fu styles and to only use Kung Fu in a morally correct manner.

This is why we refer to Tai Shu Do as Kung Fu.
