Benefits of Kung Fu for Utah Youth
Utah Youth Kung Fu Martial Arts Programs
Your child’s training in Shaolin Kung Fu will sharpen their senses, physical fitness, and mental acuity. More importantly, it will lay a foundation of discipline and confidence they’ll carry for the rest of their lives.
01. Self-Defense and Confidence
At Shaolin Arts, your child will learn the Kung Fu Five Animal System: dragon, tiger, crane, leopard, and snake. This specialized form of martial arts goes beyond your typical kids’ karate or other youth martial arts class near you.
02. Winning Philosophy and Values
The philosophy of Kung Fu builds on a base of physical and mental discipline but includes values like respect, compassion, balance, harmony, and humility. It also focuses on respect for instructors and parents.
These values create healthy habits that will turn children into successful adults.
03. A Safe Environment
Shaolin Kung Fu is like any sport or exercise—we take necessary precautions to reduce the risk of injury. We have our students warm up before exercises, wear the proper clothing, and do not let them push themselves if they become injured. We understand that a safe environment is the best place to teach students the importance of harmony and self-respect.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I tie a Kung Fu sash?
Your instructor will teach you how to tie the sash. The sash is special and important because it represents life experience. Therefore the sash is never washed, but the rest of the uniform can be washed. Traditionally a student would only receive one white sash. With practice, use, and experience the white sash would become dirty, getting darker and darker until it was black, representing a high level of skill. Today we use different color sashes to represent increases in skill, but maintain the tradition that the sash is special because life experience is special.
How should kids learn Kung Fu?
Youth should learn the art of Kung Fu under the tutelage of an experienced and patient martial arts teacher. At Shaolin Arts, we train them in the Arts so they can carry these values of discipline and harmony for the rest of their lives.
How much are martial arts classes for kids?
The price for classes will depend on your child’s age, maturity and needs. Our goal is to set your child up for success in the Arts and with skills that they will use throughout their lives. For some youth, that might include private lessons. For other youth, that might be group classes. Please contact us to discuss which program is right for your child.

I’d give 10 stars, if it were possible. My family and I have been going here twice a week for nearly two years.
Sifu Johnson is amazing! She’s knowledgeable, engaging, and kind. The studio is impeccably clean. Highly recommend!
Juliette Bradley
Studying Kung Fu at Shaolin Arts has been a life changing experience for me. As a business owner and a dad with a busy schedule I wasn’t taking the time to focus on myself both mentally and physically.
Sifu Johnson and the other students at the Sandy Studio have challenged me over the last year and a half to push myself, and strive for a higher level of balance and harmony. If you are looking for a challenge, and to improve yourself mentally and physically this is the place to go. I can’t recommend it enough.
