divider xx red

We started Vital Martial Arts Academy to teach children the skills they need to succeed in life. Your daughter will learn how to believe in herself and stand strong. Your son will learn that he can excel at anything he puts his mind to. Your child will learn to pursue their dreams relentlessly and to never give up.

We are a family-oriented martial arts school teaching Tai Chi, Qigong and modern Kung Fu (also called Wushu) to men, women, and children of all ages. At VMAA, our primary focus is on the development of the student, both in terms of personal growth and physical exercise.

VMAA has experienced instructors that provide the opportunity for students to compete in all categories of Chinese martial arts tournaments at the local, regional, national and international levels.

He holds a master’s degree in Physical Education (with a Martial Arts specialization) from the Belarusian State University of Physical Training.

Sifu Vital has coached 38 champions of World, Pan-American and European championships. He received multiple Martial Arts awards and was honored as a coach of the highest level of the Republic of Belarus. He is an international judge (EWuF, ICMAC) and has served as the USA National Kung Fu team coach at the 3rd Pan-American Kung Fu Championship 2019 (Lubbock, USA) and at the 4th Pan-American Kungfu Championship 2023 (Markham, Canada).

His Kung Fu / Wushu expertise covers both traditional and contemporary styles, including Shaolin, Long Fist, Southern Fist, Tai Chi, Staff, Straight Sword, Broadsword, Spear, Fan, Double Swords, Chain, Hong Gia, Qigong, Neigong, Drunken Fist, Praying Mantis, Tumbling Fist, and more.

We first joined Vital Martial Arts Academy for their summer camp - our 10 year old had a fantastic time. Vital is such a kind and caring teacher who engages the kids with so many fun activities that they don't want to leave at the end of the day! The kids in the summer camp and classes stay active, build confidence and learn tons of new wu shu and kung fu skills. Vital is a very talented teacher dedicated to Martial Arts and he is also truly dedicated to helping each child grow in confidence, discipline, and skill. VMMA is a very positive, family-like environment that we absolutely love. Highly recommend for summer camp and classes!

I have been taking Tai Chi and Qi Kung classes at Vital Martial Arts Academy and this experience has been truly rewarding. Training under Sifu Vitaly's guidance has given me a deeper awareness of my body and a renewed sense of general well-being in a way I didn't expect. I am amazed at how much energy the practise of Tai Chi and Qi Kung have given me. Sifu Vitaly is an excellent teacher, very knowledgeable, attentive and genuinely invested in his students' progress. He also creates a supportive environment where you feel comfortable learning at your own pace. Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn Tai Chi!!! I have also had the chance to see the Kung Fu classes for kids and they are fantastic! The kids are engaged, disciplined and learning new skills at the same time they are having tons of fun. Vital Martial Arts also offers a summer camp, which looks like a great option for parents who want something active and structured for their kids. Sifu Vitaly has over 20 years of experience working with kids. Any parent can feel confident that their children are in excellent hands with him leading the way. Overall, after being involved in various activities of this Academy for a long period of time, I can say with certainty that this is a very solid place to train, whether you are an adult or looking for something for your children.

My 4 year old just started classes here and she loves it. Sifu Vitaly is very warm and patient and I can see that the kids here love him. I wanted my daughter to do martial arts to improve her body awareness, coordination, listening skills, discipline, confidence and willingness to push herself and I can see she is getting all of these things here. Very grateful to have found Vital Martial Arts Academy 🙏🏻
