Testimonial

Kung Fu Grandma, as I am referred, has know Sigung Muse Furtado for almost twelve years. I sat for the first seven years watching my Granddaughter take classes. I was encouraged to take Kung Fu myself. I was afraid because I was already a Senior Citizen. I agreed to give it a try. This was the best thing I could ever do for myself. I have never been injured while taking class and the encouragement from Sigung has brought me to and earned me the level of Second Degree Black Sash.

For those women out there who do not think they can do this, I am living proof that you can. Studying Martial Arts makes us stronger in body, mind and soul. It builds self-esteem and confidence. It can protect us from bodily harm because, let's face it, it is a tough and cruel world out there and we need to be able to defend ourselves. Do it for yourself.

KUNG FU WISDOM !

Kung Fu or Gung Fu as it is sometimes called is a Martial Art taught as a way of Life! Through it's teachings it should involve self-respect, discipline, moral, ethics and above all hornor. It is not a sport at least not Traditional Kung Fu! It is a way of teaching how to become a person as a whole, of building the moral self! Kung Fu is not used or taught as a way for personal glory such as physical bodily harm to another person nor for corruption. It's means for self-defense should be only when there is no other way out of an assult. Even within the defense, one should always instill self-control. (Using only enough force to subdue the opponent). True Kung Fu should help the person to become at peace within themselves and with all things around them. Anyone who does not teach Kung Fu in this manner is doing the Art a great injustice, and shows a lack of respect to the true traditions of the Art and to the Great Grandmasters who developed these wonderful systems of Martial Arts!!

WHAT IS TAI KEN KWON BO?

TAI KEN KWON BO is a well rounded Martial Art system founded by Grand Master Jim Muse Furtado in 1995. The Tai stands for Tai Shing Pek Kwar Monkey Kung Fu, the Ken stands for Kenpo Karate, the Kwon stands for the foot fighting way of the early Korean fighting Arts, and the Bo stands for Boxing-Kick-Boxing and the Muay Thai fighting Arts. This is true mixed Martial Arts consisting of PRACTICAL MARTIAL ARTS.
