Welcome to Kung Fu

Welcome to Kung Fu, one of Imperial’s oldest martial arts societies!

Each class is between 1.5-3 hours and is led by expert instructors in chosen style. They will teach you a range of techniques from kicks & punches to complex jumping kicks and forms. Expect getting fighting fit and treat yourself with discipline, practical self-defence skills and mental/physical health practices.

We offer 3 different Kung-Fu style classes:

  • Shaolin | A blend of traditional famous Shaolin forms and Chinese kickboxing
  • Wu Shu Kwan | Techniques from ancient Chinese Kung-Fu, mixed with modern western Kick Boxing
  • Wing Chun | Close-quarter fighting with simultaneous attack and defense.
All classes offer their first session free throughout the year, so just give them a go and see which suits you most!
 
Beginners are always welcome, and no martial arts experience is needed to get started, just show up and we'll guide you through.

Class format:

  • Warm-ups & conditionning
  • Pad work, form work and sparring
  • Relaxation and meditation drills for cooling down
Some planned special classes will allow you to practice weapons such as Bo Staff (Stick) or Swords. You will also have opportunity to use your learning in full-contact sparring.
 

Schedule & Locations:

  • Wednesday | Wing Chun Class | 3-5pm - Union Gym
  • Friday | Shaolin Class | 6-8pm - Union Dining Hall
  • Saturday | Wu Shu Kwan Class | 2-5pm - Union Gym
 
Your first session will always be free with no sign-ups required, so if you are curious about what to expect, come along and try it out for yourself!
