ADULTS KUNG FU The two adult classes will be a ladies only course in pure self defence and a mixed class teaching Traditional Lau-Gar Kung fu and Chinese Kickboxing. Lau Gar Kung Fu is a Chinese self-defence system and is over 1500 yrs old. It was originally taught to the monks of the famous Shaolin Temples and has since gone on to be one of the worlds most succesful styles.
Let's start with an explanation of few terms and expressions: taken literally kung fu (or gung fu) means 'achievement through great effort' but is commonly understood to be the name of a group of Chinese martial arts. The term kung means something like achievement or merit, and fu can be translated into man. The kung fu family of martial arts emphasise punching and kicking but also include joint locks, throws and other techniques. Of the many schools of kung fu, Lau Gar Kuen (Lau Family Fist) is one of the oldest being one of the original five ancestor styles.

KUNG-FU KIDS The brand new children’s classes are designed to create a fun environment where your children will learn a mixture of pure self defence techniques designed to promote the awareness of possible threatening situations and give them the confidence to deal with them appropriately. Traditional Lau-Gar Kung fu to help the children to learn respect for their teachers, family and peers and the discipline and concentration required to achieve in any field. The classes also incorporate some selected aspects of Chinese Kickboxing to enhance health, build strength and fitness and enhance their co-ordination. KUNG-FU KIDS LEARN Self-Discipline: Developing their minds and concentration by thinking their way through drills, solving problems and learning self-defense concepts, strategies and application. Respect: learning to follow the instructions of the teacher and in turn helping and being helped by their partners and peers. Confidence: building confidence and character by providing the necessary skills to stand up to peer pressure, create a sense of personal belief, empower them to not just ‘follow the crowd’ and help them think their way through other intimidating situations. Fitness & Co-ordination: Developing muscular and mental co-ordination while burning excess energy and conditioning their bodies through exercises, stretching and drills. Achievement: A sense of accomplishment is developed as each student perfects a movement or moves to a higher level of belt. Training for these tests and passing them enhance the ability to concentrate on a problem and helps them to treat learning hurdles as a challenge to overcome
