The Dragon Tiger Kung Fu Center, located on Maple Avenue in Smithtown, offers a variety of martial arts classes for men, women and children taught by Master instructor Sifu Dr. Jan L. Miller. The classes are adesigned to achieve “mind-body-spirit integration.”

Miller, who was nominated into the Kung Fu Hall of Fame in 1983 for “Instructor of the Year,” according to the center’s website, teaches instructional and private lessons in Five Animal Shaolin Kung Fu, Sun Tai Chi Chuan, law enforcement training, women’s self-defense and weight loss programs, to name a few.

Opened 30 years, the Dragon Tiger Kung Fu Center prides itself on being Long Island’s first authentic Kung Fu school and is dedicated to instilling more than self-defense and fitness techniques in its students.

Here, students learn about respect, self-control, confidence and more and how to successfully apply these qualities to meet the challenges of everyday life and become “a way of life,” according to the center’s website.
