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
