"Kung Fu is my passion, I want to share these treasures with those that share this same passion."

Peng lai kung fu is a comprehensive system, having absorbed the major techniques and principles of the northern chinese schools of boxing. The art emphasises the spirit and ferocity of the mantis over mere superficial imitation of the insect's movements. The American program, lead by Shifu Kevin Brazier, promotes health, well being, and an understanding of the physical, mental, and cultural aspects of this northern chinese martial art.

The American branch of our style of kung fu has schools located through Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, and in Brasil. While learning discipline, respect, and confidence, the students gain physical fitness, have fun, create friendships, and learn lessons that last a lifetime. Through kung fu many students are able to bring out the best in themselves, and others. '

The kung fu school of Tennessee is located in Nashville, and is taught by Shifu Jim Smyer. Shifu Jim has been boxing and fighting through various martial arts throughout all of his life. Over the past several years he has been working closesly with Shifu Kevin to train willing students on how to reach the next level in this immersive and vast pool of knowledge and art. Shifu Jim is strong and disciplined, and expects the very best of every individual that trains at his school, yet he's a patient and fantastic teacher that's capable of meeting anyone wanting to follow the path of a true martial art.
