Jade Fortress UPDATE ACTION
We Are Shooting A TV Series
"Legendary Masters Council"
We are producing a martial arts tv series with the help of Dark Minds Productions and would love your support! “Legendary Masters Council” is a NEW tv series focused on the physical side of martial arts, as well as the more important side WuDe (martial ethics.) This project is a great way to promote unity through martial arts. Please take the time to go through the Kickstarter and make a pledge to breathe life into the show. We can not do this without your help. Donating even $1 will make us one step closer to our needed goal by April 23rd.

Developing a strong code of behavior. Discipline is one of the most important attributes to improving your life. At Jade Fortress it is our number one priority in helping our students become successful not only in martial arts but also in life. Notice an improvement in you/ your child's attitude and behavior after training with us. As well as a stronger sense of focus and willingness to do better.
Community
Creating an environment that focuses on trust, teamwork, and good will towards others is our community. At Jade Fortress our goal is to continue to grow with one another. The base of community is gathering together as a family.
Perseverance
The meaning of gongfu is skill acquired through hard work and time. Creating a no quit always do your best attitude is essential to progression and achieving your goals. How do you achieve this? Little by little
