Mission and Membership Benefits
The CWRU Kung Fu club’s mission is to build strength of body and mind while cultivating discipline through the traditional Chinese art form of Northern Shaolin Kung Fu. Beyond this foundational core, the club was formed to give students of all experience levels the opportunity to learn self-defense and performance-level martial arts forms. The club also practices Shuai Chiao, a type of Chinese wrestling, and has produced competitors who achieved success in both national and international tournaments.
Active for over 20 years, the club’s experienced alumni instructors are deeply knowledgeable and have found success competing at the highest levels of martial arts competition. The CWRU Kung Fu club also participates in several friendly competitions with martial arts organizations from neighboring universities.
