MARTIAL ARTS, FITNESS & FUN IN SANTA CRUZ!

Training the Body, Heart, and Mind

 Six Animals Kung Fu, The Art of Transformation.

Chien Lung is based on six Animals which represent aspects of who you are as a complete person. Each Animal has its own style of movement and meditation, and by adopting its personality, diet and hobbies, you’ll have great fun learning about your own potential.

Classes offer cardio, strength, flexibility, alignment, natural movement, self-defense and meditation practices to improve concentration, and open to all levels.

Classes are taught by Steven Macramalla, who has over 30 years experience practicing and teaching Chien-Lung.

 Systema Santa Cruz

Six Animals Kung-fu is proud to offer training in the Russian martial art of Systema. Recently certified by Vladimir Vasiliev, Sifu Steven offers an introduction to the basic breathing,  movement and striking techniques of this style.

“Six Animals Kung Fu class is a workout, but it’s also an exploration into yourself, as exemplified by six animal archetypes. Keep practicing, and you will start to observe how you tap into the energy of the Tiger, Boa, Panther, and others in your day-to-day life. Steven is an amazing instructor – he brings enthusiasm, humor, and philosophical depth into every lesson. I highly recommend giving Six Animals a try if you’re interested in a martial arts class that goes beyond just a physical workout.”
