Cobra Kai Kung Fu has been offering full contact reality based hands on martial arts training as taught by Grandmaster Steven G. Abbate since 1962.The same Cobra Kai Style, Philosophy and teaching techniques have been brought over to the new school now known as 'McHenry Martial Arts ' at this location. This is where our roots came from and we will never forget that and always be true to Grandmaster Abbate and the Cobra Kai family. You will still see the Cobra Kai logo around the website, the school, and on T-shirts. It has been infused into our Reality Based Kung Fu classes.

Our goal as always is to prepare our students for an array of self-defense scenarios, including weapons defense and multiple attacks with real people, so you can 'feel' how to counter different attacks and different attackers, and experience how the techniques actually work.We also focus on controlling your opponent at all times and how to position yourself for optimizing defense attacks. The martial arts style of Tai Kit Kuen (Grand Snake Fist) has been passed down for generations. Tai Kit Kuen Kung Fu is a full contact practical martial art where you learn to defend from day one.This style of Kung Fu is incorporated into Many of the classes and courses offered at McHenry Martial Arts academy.

COBRA KAI KUNG FU OFFERS ADULT
AND JUNIOR (14 & OLDER) INSTRUCTION:

We stress to all students to walk away from an encounter if possible, and that violence is a last resort. Further, no student should use more force than is necessary.

RANKING OF STUDENTS

Traditionally, most Kung Fu styles do not have a regulated rank system. Many simply award titles. At Cobra Kai, we award a colored sash after a rigid testing period. The Black Sash promotion is a three day ordeal, including an all night meditation and the keeping of a candle burning to our Grand Master. Upon reaching Black Sash or Disciple Level, a student is given a Chinese title, usually a name synonymous with the student's character. At each level of progress, the training becomes more complex and there is more responsibility placed on the student.

SASH LEVELS AND AVERAGE TIME OF TRAINING

White Sash - Gold Sash: 1st year of training
Green Sash: 2nd year of training
Blue Sash: 3rd year of training
Brown Sash: 4th year of training
