ABOUT THE ACADEMY

A school built on respect.

Four decades. Thousands of students. One mission: pass on the art the way it was given to us.

SENSEI DAVE HOPKINS

"You will not be disappointed."

For more than 40 years, Sensei Dave has dedicated himself to one art and one mission: teaching real Kung Fu San Soo to anyone willing to learn. He has trained children who later became coaches. He has trained parents and their grandparents. He has built something rare — a school where the art and the family are equally important.

From the moment you walk in, you'll feel it. The respect on the mat. The friendly word from a student you've never met. The total focus when Sensei demonstrates. That's what 40 years of consistency builds.
