About Tai Chi for Health Kung fu Academy
Our motto is that we will teach anybody who is sincere in learning the art of Kung Fu, You are welcome to come and watch a class if you wish.
Importantly, learning Kung Fu is a very personal journey, with each student we will approach differently. Some will be more interested in forms, others in self-defense.
Classes are designed to provide you with a very complete workout for both body and mind.
We Teach Values:
Respect : Leadership : Goal Setting : Self Discipline : Responsibility:

Fitness
Kung fu training is one of the most complete ways of getting in shape.
We use a combination of traditional kung fu training techniques along with more “Western” exercises such as Martial Fitness Kick Boxing, sit-ups, squats, or bodyweight exercises (including using your partner’s bodyweight!)
Kung fu covers all the bases: cardiovascular fitness, flexibility, strength, and mind/body connection. Kung fu training is serious physical training, so if you have any doubts or any medical conditions, please get a green light from your doctor or come speak to the instructor.
Self-Defense
We focus on control techniques using joint locks or strikes to vital areas.
These techniques are particularly useful as they teach students to work around differences in size, reach, or weight, and effectively control bigger or stronger attackers.
We also cover evasive techniques from specific holds and locks, as well as defense against basic weapons.
We always teach new techniques using slow and simple movements. Our self-defense training is based on simple and highly effective moves covering a broad range of attacks.
Self-defense – practical defense techniques against specific kinds of attacks, with emphasis on weaponless, and efficient parries against grabs, chokes, etc.against small weapons, e.g. knives, bats.
Sparring– because combat application remains an important part of Kung Fu , we will regularly engage in light controlled sparring. The goal here is to (defend and attack in a “live” situation.)
