Can I train Kung Fu?
Yes of course! you can, just as long as you are over 14 years of age.
What do I need to wear?
All you need to wear are some plain jogging bottoms and a plain white T-shirt. After you have been for a few lessons, the school will order black kungfu bottoms and white kungfu T-shirt for you to purchase.
What is the format of a typical class?
The lessons are conducted in a friendly atmosphere and will begin with a few simple warm up exercises that are suitable for beginners and seniors. Then we practice our basic techniques then we gradually move onto more advanced techniques. If necessary we split up the class into sections to accommodate different levels. The class then progresses to the teaching of specific self defence situations. Following this you will then usually work at the appropriate grading syllabus with a partner of your current grade.
I have never practised a martial art before, can I come along?
Yes! Beginners are always welcome to our foundation classes, and will be taught at a pace suitable to the individual with one to one tuition. Contact us through our Contact Us section for more details
I have been training for years in other styles, can I come along?
Yes! The club always welcomes students from other styles. If you want to progress through our grading system you will probably have to start at the first grade and continue like the other beginners. Even if your kungfu is quite similar to ours, you may have to start again. Ask the instructor about this.
Is the training dangerous?
Every step is taken to minimise the risk of injury during training. If you follow the instructor’s advice properly there should be very little risk. Please inform the instructor at the start of a class of any injury which you already have. Accidents are extremely rare, and the club is insured for injury to participants.
How does the insurance cover work?
Your first lesson does not require you to commit to joining our association. However if you enjoy the class and wish to continue you must join the Amateur Martial Arts Association. For more details contact the instructors. The AMA provides full insurance for training sessions where a AMA coach is present.
Do women train ?
Yes. The majority of techniques used in Kungfu for self defence rely on technique and not physical strength.
