We teach the TAI CHUAN DO style of martial arts founded by Grand Master Ken Champ in 1977. The style incorporates various traditional arts, including SHORIN-RYU, KARATE, AKIDO, and JUJITSU. Although the art is very challenging, we encourage anyone from 6 years of age through adult to participate. It is an excellent ministry for families to do together. We incorporate both physical and spiritual discipline as we study God’s Word and master our art. The classes are held in Educational Building #3 on Thursdays from 6:00pm – 8:00pm and Saturdays from 9:00am – 11:00am. An advanced class for Tai Chuan Do students holding a green belt or above on Saturdays at 8:00am. Students need to bring a Bible, notebook, comfortable exercise clothing, and a writing utensil. Shyshuu Ralph Batykefer (5th degree black belt) and other qualified black belt instructors lead this ministry. The ministry objectives are:
To grow in the discipleship of Christ.- To teach self-defense and improve physical conditioning.
- To improve self-discipline, moral character, and humility.
- To defend without hate or anger and without ego.
