The mission of the Westchester County NY based KO Martial Arts Academy is to unify All Martial Arts styles and share the knowledge and secrets of these styles of Chinese and Other Martial Arts in a family friendly, non-competitive environment. We teach both Adult and Children’s Kung Fu, Chinese MMA and Tai Chi classes in hopes of creating not just great Martial Artists, but great people. People that will help pass these Martial Art styles on to future generations of eager students. While focusing primarily on Kung Fu and Tai Chi, this Academy will serve as the foundation of the first American Asian Mixed Martial Arts Academy. The Academy located in Mamaroneck New York, a short distance from Connecticut, White Plains and Manhattan, will serve Westchester County, Fairfield County and Bronx, NY. Students that have previously trained in other Martial Arts styles such as Karate, Jiu Jitsu, Tae Kwon Do or other styles of Kung Fu and Tai Chi are welcome to come and explore any or all of these Martial Arts styles we have to offer.
We teach the following styles:
This is a complete Martial Arts system featuring both empty hand training and traditional Chinese Weaponry. Praying Mantis Kung Fu is known for its speed, agility, and flexibility.

Chen Style Tai Chi training involves five elements and utilizes three aspects of training health, meditation, and martial arts. Tai chi’s health training, concentrates on relieving the physical effects of stress on the body and mind. The focus and calmness cultivated by the meditative aspect of Tai Chi is necessary in maintaining optimum balance and cultivating the awareness of chi. Click here for more information.
The Yang Style Tai Chi long form that we practice today at Northern Praying Mantis & Tai Chi Martial Arts Center is derived from the teachings passed down by Yang Luchan (1799 – 1872) who learned from Cheng Chang-Hsing who was of the Chen family of Chen Village, Hunan province. He was the first non-Chen family member to master this style of Tai Chi and allowed to teach it outside the Chen Village. Click here for more information.
