Young Martial Artists Build Character in Silver Spring (VIDEO)

Long before the Kung Fu Panda movies became hits, a martial arts grandmaster began teaching children the Chinese art of self-defense. Kicking and punching is just one of the skills the young dragons learn at Shaolin Wu-Shu Training Center in Silver Spring. My MC Media’s Phyllis Armstrong reports on the school that builds character.

Some of the students at the Shaolin Wu-Shu Training Center will compete in an international tournament August 12 and 13. The US Capitol Classics is being held at the Gaylord Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, MD. It is one of the top martial arts open competitions in the country. Watch report on US Capitol Classics Comes to National Harbor for more information.
