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

Each class is between 1.5-3 hours and is led by an expert instructor in your chosen style. They will teach you a range of techniques from kicks & punches to complex jumping kicks and forms, giving you practical self-defence skills and getting you fighting fit. All of our classes are suited for a range of skill levels from absolute beginner to seasoned fighter, and no experience or equipment is needed to start.

We offer 3 different Kung-Fu style classes:

Shaolin | A blend of traditional 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 a focus on efficiency and rapid-fire punches

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.

Typical class format:

Warm-ups & conditioning
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 the opportunity to use your learning in full-contact sparring.
