Assistant Instructor Program
One way to further one's own martial arts training is to learn how to teach. Our Assistant Instructor Program teaches advanced students how to assist younger and less experienced ones in their training. They are taught how to run group warm-ups, give corrections, and lead small groups in learning forms and kick combinations.
Students in our Assistant Instructor Program learn more than just how to teach martial arts - they learn leadership skills and motivational techniques. Assistant Instructors are given the skills to help make them leaders in their school and the community.
Free Training during the AI Lesson
Free training is open for those ages 4-9! During our monthly Assistant Instructor Lesson we need younger students for our AIs and trainees to work with - so sign-up is free!
When: Typically every 3rd Saturday, 3:05 - 3:50 pm (please check the calendar for exact dates)

What: You choose what you want your child to work on. Our Assistant Instructors will give them a private - semi-private lesson focusing on that specific part of their curriculum.
Long-Staff Workshops
Our long-staff workshops teach students how to handle this weapon, which without proper training cannot be used effectively. A long-staff workshop will teach you that ultimately, self-defense does not stop with your hands. It involves using a weapon as an extension of your body.
Wing Chun Workshop
5 Elements is hosting Chris Charnos on January 25th and January 26th for a special edition of Wing Chun training. This training is designed for all students aged 13 and older (adults in particular). Chris Charnos studied under Ed Hart, who studied under Bruce Lee. Special Instructor Chris also studied under Jesse Glover (who also studied under Bruce Lee).
We recommend signing up for this workshop if you are interested in improving your self-defense conditioning or gaining some inside knowledge from a descendant of Bruce Lee.
