Kung Fu - Self Defence class

​Tai Chi Chuan started out as a high level Chinese Martial Art (Kung Fu).

Over the years it became more popular for its health giving properties.

This class focuses on the Kung Fu/Self Defence side of Tai Chi.

​

Before Tai Chi was invented, most Kung Fu was very focused on developing and using a lot of physical strength and brute force.

The creators of Tai Chi chose a different path.

They used ancient occult knowledge of the more subtle aspects of the human body to create a highly refined fighting system that did not require such brute physical strength.

Not only was this new system no less effective than other strength based systems . . . it was even more effective. 

Because Tai Chi works in this way, it can be very effectively used by both men and women and anyone not so big and strong.

 

In class you will be learning various training drills that are first done solo and then put together with a training partner.

A Tai Chi Kung Fu form will be taught that is also first practiced as a solo form and gradually you will be taught how to do the same moves with a partner, replicating various attack and defence scenarios.
