YOUR FIRST CLASS

Beginners are very welcome but we understand that your first class can be a little intimidating, so here is a little of what to expect at your first class and what to wear and bring with you.

​

To Wear/Bring

• Please wear a plain T-Shirt and loose pants (to allow freedom of movement).

• For safety please ensure all jewellery is removed before class.

• It is also advisable to bring some water and a hand towel.

​

Attitude In Class

• Have fun, there is lots to learn and all student's learn from each other. We don't expect you to get everything straight away.

• Please be respectful to each other; listen to instructions, sit to allow others to see, hold pads for your training partner like they hold them for you.

• We encourage you to work hard and push yourself, but also to work to your own abilities. You will get back what you put in.

​

A Typical Class

As a broad style of kung fu our classes will vary a lot in content, but a typical class will look something like this:

​

• A warm up, including cardio, dynamic stretching, strength and balance work. Work to your own ability.

• Striking technique practice including kicks and punches. We mix using pads, heavy pads and shadow strikes 

• Traditional training sequences, two person or individual forms.

• Sparring drills to develop timing, distancing and movement

• Qi Gong practice which looks at breathing and movement.
