What do you enjoy the most about teaching?
It is most wonderful to have the opportunity to see how much the students grow as they progress through their Wushu journey. Witnessing students not only develop skills in Wushu, but seeing them grow in maturity, and develop improved etiquette because of Wushu is one of the many reasons teaching is so exciting and fulfilling! Our students also all have such fun unique personalities!

What do you enjoy the most about teaching?
I am lucky to have the opportunity to witness the growth of so many students, not only in Wushu, but their growth as individuals as they tackle challenges, learn to work with others and develop confidence in themselves. Seeing initial frustration transform into confidence through practice, and confidence transform into eagerness to teach and help one another is incredibly inspiring!

Dennis Chen, Coach

Coach Dennis Chen started Wushu at the age of 12. He has experience in both traditional and contemporary Wushu and was a collegiate Wushu Coach at UCLA. Coach Dennis's favorite Wushu skill is the butterfly kick!

What do you enjoy the most about teaching?
The process of teaching allows both student and coaches the grow together. It is truly satisfying to see a student land their first aerial after months of failed attempts or helping a shy student develop the confidence to perform their routine. I draw a lot of inspiration from the growth of students and I am often taught new ways of looking at old skills through teaching.

What do you enjoy the most about teaching?
I enjoy passing a sense of Chinese tradition onto the next generation and watching the growth in the students I teach. Wushu is a unique sport and watching my students excel and progress in their martial arts journey is very rewarding. Watching them practice and train together is like a glance into the past of my own wushu journey.
