Meet Shifu Dan Schmidt

At the heart of the Chinese Martial Arts Center in Seminole, FL, stands Shifu Dan Schmidt, a revered 5th Degree Black Belt and an International Kung Fu Champion. With over two decades of immersion in Chinese martial arts, Shifu Schmidt's journey is a testament to dedication, passion, and mastery. His 5th Degree Black Belt was not just an accolade but a result of rigorous training in one of the nation's most demanding martial arts programs. This program, rooted in Kung Fu, is designed to instill speed, strength, endurance, focus, tranquility, and self-defense capabilities in its practitioners.


The Chinese Martial Arts Center, under Shifu Schmidt's leadership, is more than just a school; it's a sanctuary for those seeking to conquer themselves. Drawing inspiration from traditional kung fu teachings, the center emphasizes self-mastery, stating, "he who conquers others is strong, he who conquers himself is mighty!" The school fosters a familial atmosphere, blending traditional teachings with modern self-defense techniques, ensuring that students are equipped to protect themselves and their loved ones.


Shifu Schmidt's expertise spans a vast array of Chinese Martial Arts styles, including Bei Shaolin Quan, Mizong Luohan, Ying Zhao Fanzi, Tai Chi Quan, Xing Yi Quan, Baji Quan, Tang Lang Quan, Bagua Zhang, and several other Northern styles. Each style offers unique benefits, from the fluidity of Tai Chi Quan promoting balance and mental tranquility to the dynamic movements of Tang Lang Quan enhancing agility and reflexes.


Beyond martial arts, the center offers programs like traditional Chinese Kickboxing and Tai Chi, ensuring that students have diverse avenues to explore, train, and grow. Whether you're a novice seeking a fresh start or a seasoned martial artist aiming to refine your skills, Shifu Schmidt and his dedicated team are committed to guiding you on a transformative journey.


With state-of-the-art facilities, a community-driven approach, and a curriculum that balances tradition with modernity, the Chinese Martial Arts Center is a beacon for all martial arts enthusiasts.
