im no good with names

How about:
"<your area of town> martial arts training centre"
no point in throwing up chinese name that people can't pronounce.
If you want your school name in Chinese, then have a calligraphist write out the name in ideograms and you can have them both together on your sign.
This is what my former sifu did at his school.
Kung Fu is good for you.
SPM Kung-Fu Center, Academy,Studio
(Sifu's Name) Kung-Fu Center, Academy, etc
Jook Lum, Iron Ox, whatever Kung-Fu Academy, etc
I would go with the first-it's easy to say, therefore easy to remember. Youwant your school to be a household word, like...spatula. Nobody is actually going to remember a Chinese name-unless you are in a chinese community-but you can use the last name-if it's easy to pronounce. ex: Fong's Kung-Fu Association, rather than Ng's Kung-Fu Assoc. Most Americans cant pronounce General Tso's Chicken, how the heck are they gonna say Ng's Kung-Fu?? And don't even bother with Nam Tong Long Kung-Fu Mo-Gwoon! ;-)
make the name you list in the phone book start with "A" . LIke authentic spm kung fu. The A will put you at the beginning of the list in the book. Unless you are the only school in town then is does not matter.
