Children Training

At ESKF, we work hard to make training for your children a beneficial experience that will help them throughout their lives. Our fun, patient and high-energy teaching style creates children who are self-motivated and are equipped with the inner strength needed to avoid the many temptations they face today; while instilling respect, discipline and confidence that are needed to excel in life.

Our school places a special emphasis on the mental attributes of concentration, patience and self-control as we work to perfect the physical principles of timing, balance and coordination.

We provide individual attention which helps new students adjust quickly. Comprehensive anti-bullying training helps give parents peace of mind as children become more independent. Leadership training transforms even the shyest of kids into more confident kids. Many parents struggle with solutions to put their child on the fast track to success, and one such solution is not far from home; your local martial arts school, ESKF.

Classes run 5 days a week, so even the busiest kids can attend.

Ahmed Khan (Head Coach)

coach Ahmed Khan was taught by the late, famous Afghanistan Kung Fu Master, Ehsan Shafiq.

He stumbled across Kung Fu; while he was doing his daily weight training workout in the gym. At a young age, he was more interested in building muscles and looking good in the mirror. Coach Ahmed used to do weight training in the gym, 3 to 4 times a week. After witnessing the fitness training in Kung Fu, he thought it would be a good way for him to get his body ripped. To his astonishment, he realized that after years of body building, he could not hold a simple Kung Fu stance. That was the end of his bodybuilding and the start of his new found love for Kung Fu. Through the years of training with Master Ehsan Shafiq, he has gained great knowledge and understanding of the art of Kung Fu and then went on to training in bjj.

coach Ahmed has not only done demonstrations in front of hundreds of people, has also entered many tournaments of different martial arts.
