When I walked into the studio for the first time, I immediately felt at ease--sometimes I come in early just to relax in the calming environment. I feel sincerely respected by everyone I've met here. WMMS is like a supportive family, always encouraging me to new levels...."

"Water Mountain has improved my health so much-sometimes I can hardly believe it! When I first started coming here I was having so much pain, I was just about disabled. Now I'm energetic, feel younger, and I'm nearly pain free. Water Mountain has changed my life for the better....You can come here to handle stress, have a more balanced life and receive lots of positive support both from the staff and from all the friends you make here."
--Maureen White, West Flag

"Water Mountain Martial Arts has been a huge asset for my sons now ages 11 and 13. They not only benefit from the strength and skill building, but also are learning self-defense and discipline. They have learned that it takes a lot of hard work to accomplish some goals in life, but also that it is worth it all in the end."
--Judy Stratton, Upper Greenlaw

Master Steenrod welcomes you to the world of Kung fu.

"7 Powerful Reasons Why

Kung Fu Can
Dramatically Improve
Your Health, Your Confidence, and Your Life!"

Dear Friend,

In a very brief period of time you can become fitter, more flexible and have that unmistakable healthy aura. And have a lot more fun too.

How?

By studying the world's best Kung Fu program at Water Mountain.

Before I describe my program in more detail let me explain why you should consider Kung Fu training.

Seven Important Reasons to Study Kung Fu

Discover how to mover your body just as Jet Li, Michelle Yo, Jackie Chan do.
Build a sleek, powerful, healthy body that other people admire.
Gain the courage to keep moving forward in life's many fearful situations.
Build in yourself the ability to stand up and be counted, when difficult times call for action.
Discover how to use your own inner strength to focus and protect yourself should someone "want a piece of you."
Gain new friends and have a lot of fun while learning kung fu the right way.
Gain the admiration of others that comes from studying at the Harvard of martial arts schools.

Kung Fu Powered the
Most Successful People in Chinese History

In ancient China, kung fu was the foundation of every successful person, and it was a serious blow to have never studied it. Not studying kung fu meant that you were crippled in your ability to get the big dreams of life. It was studied by every lord, prince, emperor, general, warrior, scholar, and doctor. If you wanted to be in charge of anything or have the ability to face life and death situations, you studied kung fu.

Kung fu made a man into a king.

How Can Kung Fu Create Such Awesome Power?

Kung Fu trains both the body and the mind. Look at these seven training principles to see what you would be getting through your kung fu training.

Release your greatest inner potential. That’s the reason that martial arts were taught in temples, to help a person tap inner strength. Without the emphasis on finding and releasing your personal ability, you may be studying a martial art, but you are not studying kung fu.
Read Human Behavior. You learn to observe and control human behavior. Your lessons makes you aware of others true, hidden intentions and predict their actions. Imagine being able to read when someone intends to harm you physically, harm you socially, or harm you financially. Would it lead to greater success for you? Of course! knowing the unspoken intentions of others always gives you an edge!
Your Power Will Come From Your Amazing Health. Frankly, you become so healthy and fit from kung fu, friends and strangers comment on it. That health is a source of great power for you. Rather than beating your body down to get kung fu's power, you gain power from the increase of body's strength and glowing health.
Get a Well of Positive Self-Belief. Performance and success in life is a contest between fear and self-belief, every single day, day in day out. If fear wins, you hesitate to do the thing you want, you fail to grab that opportunity, or you fail to say the thing you know you should say. Self-belief drowns fear. In kung fu, you will build self-belief and use self-belief every single class.
Make the Impossible Possible with Visualization. The body and mind have a control board, and that control board is called visualization. Learn to use that control board with skill of a jet plane pilot through kung fu.
Gain the Power of Intensity. If you've been to a game or watched the news lately, you know that athletes are very emotional people. Emotion comes from hormone flows in the body, and to get the best performance from your body you need hormones. That hormone system can be tapped and controlled consciously, with the power of your mind. That produces what is called intensity. The key, of course, is having the ability to turn it on and off--something lacking with many athletes, but not in kung fu.
Get Unstoppable, Motivated Repetition--the secret to success. The major difference between pro level performance in anything and amateur level performance is the number of reps that have been successfully executed. The problem is that humans aren’t machines, and a "Do the reps switch" can't just be flipped in you. If it was that simple, then everyone would be strong, fit and successful. You have to learn how to do repetition with your heart and mind committed so that you're not just going through the motions. Kung fu at Water Mountain is built so that the more you practice kung fu, the more motivated you become to practice kung fu!

Water Mountain Kung Fu Quickly Firms Your Body,
Changes Your Life, Filled with Friendly People

Take a look at the effect that kung fu has on people's lives. These are the personal stories of only just a few of Water Mountain's many hundreds of members.

"I love to come to Kung Fu because it makes me feel strong and capable. I really like The people in class. They are fun to be with and show respect and good sportsmanship. I'm always telling my friends! :)"

--Laura Wittke, Timberline

"....What I love about Water Mountain is that it keeps me fit, it is full of friendly and helpful students, and the training always leaves me feeling refreshed and relaxed. Not only that, but I've developed skill improvement in leadership, perseverance, stamina and other useful real-world assets. Martial arts training has encouraged me to be healthy and pursue my goals, and, of course, feel more confident about self-defense...."

--Daniel, Doney Park

"The many ways I have benefitted from my association with Water Mountain would be impossible to enumerate. Without much elaboration, here are a few examples: improved physical health, stamina and strength, new confidence in skill-learning abilities, tools to attain inner peace, an ever-growing circle of friends of the highest caliber, and the perspective to re-evaluate previously unquestioned life goals...."

--Morgan Boatman, Kachina Village

" Since I started attending Water Mountain, I have noticed things were changing. I found it easier to make goals for myself and work hard for them. Difficult tasks were less daunting. Even aside from that studying at Water Mountain is a fun way to meet people who want more out of life, rather than just float along. Studying here has taught me what it is to really commit to something you have to work for. The fact that it is great fun is a huge bonus! Absolutely Anyone can benefit from what is taught here."

--Kevin Greenwood, NAU

"...In Kung Fu I have become more aware of my frustrations & I have been able to ler them go & get on with the focus of the program....

In the everyday world I can get caught in the negativity. When I come to the studio for any of the programs I only feel the positive, building, caring attitude-and I take this with me & nurture myself and others. Absolutely come, really find out who you are-Have lots of fun in the adventure of your life-"

--Sandy Winner, North Flagstaff

Your Path to the Body and Mind of a King

"Everyone, students and instructors, work together to form an extremely positive environment," Alan Kaufmann, East Flagstaff.

How do you get the type of training environment that Alan is talking about?

You need two things: A professional, consistent, trust-based relationship with your instructor, and students in training teams. Water Mountain's program is built around both. The exact opposite approach to this is to have drop in training. To get these two things, you need committment. I am not talking about giving up a kidney or your first born, but I am talking about setting up the expectation between you and the teacher that you are going to be there, AND setting up that expectation with the other students, so that they will come to know you and trust you. Nothing kills training like having a stranger around.

5 Reasons that Drop-In Training Kills Kung Fu

If you do possess the dream of kung fu, the ancient temples, or the Mr. Miagi relationship, where in any of those pictures is there a come and go whenever you feel like plopping down some money image? There isn’t one, because real performance can’t come without trust and commitment.
Where in any academic model—be it a university, community college, high school, middle school, grade school, or kindergarten—would a drop in when you feel like it, do what you want educational model be used? Nowhere. For what reason? You can’t get any sort of performance that way.
Does the military allow a drop in when you feel like it, do whatever you feel like approach? No. Just the thought of it is funny though, because it would produce a huge keystone cop effect where people run around in uniforms with serious looks on their faces, but look like idiots.
What other industry uses the hamburger model, besides fast food? The health club industry. How successful is your average health club in improving the long term muscle mass and fitness level of its entire member base? Less than 5%! And those 5% successful people are the ones that hire personal trainers. 5% is not an acceptable number.
What does the hamburger model, in the fast food industry, do for the American public? It produces a 60% obesity rate, and makes America the fattest country in the world. Exactly how is a model that produces disease supposed to be used in a way that gets you the health benefits of Kung Fu?

There is no successful model of education that says treating kung fu like a hamburger is going to work. There is no historical instance. The hamburger model is never used when results count. Certainly, certainly, it is not the way that men are made into kings.
