Master Derek Croley

By popular demand Master Derek Croley is now offering Private Lessons in a number of different Martial Arts. Having been called "a rising star in the Martial Arts" by the late Grand Master David German (Founder of TAI Karate/ Kenpo/ Kung Fu, recognized Grand Master of White Tiger Kung Fu, and inheritor of the art of Budojujutsu), "on the true TAI Path" by Grand Master "Kenpo" Joe Rebelo, and "an encyclopedia of Martial Arts knowledge" by two time world Champion Master Kevin Hudson, Master Croley has made numerous instructional videos, has written two books, and has several published articles on various arts.

Master Croley began his training with the highly acclaimed Shihan Dave Kovar and is the highest ranking Black Belt under Grand Master Andy Watford- the head of the US TAI Karate Association. He has lived and studied Martial Arts in China under Grand Master Liu Chan Shan of the Beishan Temple and is the American Heir and only non-Chinese person to ever learn the secret art of Tai Chi Yuan Gong Chan Chuan.

The great thing about private lessons is that your education can be directly tailored to your specific wants or needs whether you are a martial artist, an athlete, health professional, business person, or whatever else you wish to apply these lessons to.

You can focus on any or all of the following topics:

  • Tai Chi for Martial Arts, greater mental and physical health and wellness, stress reduction, improved athletic performance, or Qi Gong (energy work).
  • TAI Martial Arts (Karate/ Kenpo/ Kung Fu), the regular student curriculum plus a whole lot more.
  • Budo Jujutsu for grappling, fencing, locking, throwing, multiple opponents on the ground, etc.
  • Chi- Na, the deadly Chinese grappling and striking art.
  • Weapons from 72 different traditions and arts.
  • Martial Arts Philosophy and lifestyle as applied specifically to you.

Through private lessons with Master Croley you will learn more about whatever art is of interest to you, but more importantly you will learn how to transition from one art to the next seamlessly.
