Fabulous Sifu and instructors! Safe, caring environment with a strong culture. My entire family has been going here for years and thoroughly enjoy studying kung fu with Sifu Kaneen.

Curtis Carter

I have been a student at 9 Dragons Tai Chi for over four years. Simu, my instructor, is knowledgeable, approachable, and respectful. It has helped me with better balance, core strength, learning a new craft, and it is also a lot of fun! Everyone is really friendly!

Janet Blake

Tai Chi & Qi Gong training, exceptional !
One of the best learning experiences of my life. The facilitators are hard working, fun and knowledgeable about how the body works and heals itself.

Bob Martin

This has been a fantastic school for training in martial arts. I've only recommended two others train here and they've both been very pleased as well.

Meet

9 Dragons Kung Fu

At the heart of our school are Master Teachers Michael and Tamara Kaneen, whose shared passion and vision brought this family-owned school to life. Together, they opened the doors nearly two decades ago with a simple goal: to create a space where martial arts could change lives—not just through physical training, but through community, discipline, and healing.

Over the years, their partnership has shaped the school into a thriving center for both traditional Kung Fu and the Healing Arts. Their commitment to excellence has produced a growing number of certified instructors, many of whom now lead their own programs while continuing their education under the Kaneens’ guidance. The school’s impact reaches beyond the training floor, with active participation in local charitable work that encourages students and families to give back through annual events and service opportunities.
