Our Classes


The Experience
Kung Fu is based on principles that not only form the framework for the physical movements, but also form the philosophical view of our practice. It is more than just learning how to fight, it is learning mastery of one's self in the process. Along with the newly gained physical skills, students learn self-confidence, discipline, and hard work.
The term "Kung Fu," or more accurately "Gung Fu," means a high level of skill acquired through hard work and sacrifice. With this in mind, we teach that gung fu can be had in anything our students put their minds to. From pottery to painting, cooking to writing, or business to counseling; through the mastery of martial arts students learn to transfer the ideas of hard work and discipline to whatever goal they have set for themselves. This is of value in all areas of life whether it be family, school, or business.
What our students say about us

Del Sol Yoga & Kung Fu is an amazing place. Both of my children and I have been training there under Sifu Leverett for several years. It is a warm and welcoming family.

How It All Started
SIFU
Sifu Thomas Leverett is a 10th Generation practitioner of the Northern Shaolin 7 Star Praying Mantis system of Kung Fu. He began his training in 1997 while completing his B.A. degree from the University of Texas Austin in Anthropology and Archaeology. After training for 6 months, Thomas was asked by his teacher to become an instructor and help teach some of the classes.
It was during this time that he discovered his own passion for teaching others. This passion and experience led him to become a 6th grade Language Arts teacher for six years, while he continued to train and lead classes for his Sifu, "Teacher," until the time came for him to open his own "Kwoon," or training hall.
In 2006, Thomas passed his test to become a Sifu, and became responsible for carrying on the 7 Star Praying Mantis System.
