Students will learn at their own pace and in a progressive manner (as there is no pressure to compete) under guidance from our instructors who have many years experience within this field. A student will have the chance to learn a massive system of Shaolin martial arts if he or she so wishes.
New students will over the course of time attain a very high standard of martial ability. Some characteristics of this will be felt as the student becomes fitter, more flexible, better co-ordinated, sharper mentally, improves balance, gains strength, faster, more accurate, more confident, disciplined, focused and a better fighter. Obviously good martial arts skills take time and commitment to achieve.
Regular gradings are held internally to assess all our students and certificates achieved at each appropriate level.

Kung Fu
Traditionally taught classes that offer a baseline of fitness and conditioning for Martial Arts. Kung Fu really is the original mixed style Chinese martial art, specific attention is paid to stances, balance, flexibility, spirit, position and posture.
As the system unfolds the true nature of the Martial art become apparent as the basis of Blocking, Striking and Grappling practices are studied. We use scenario training principals to move the discipline toward practical and real self-defence situations.
