What is Kung Fu?
The word "Kung Fu" means to attain a skill through work and effort. Over time the word Kung Fu has become more commonly associated with Martial Arts - and more specifically - the martial arts of China.
The type or style of Kung Fu we teach is called Wing Chun (sometimes spelt WingTsun or Ving Chun) and was made the most famous style of Kung Fu thanks to the legendary movie star Bruce Lee who died in 1973.
Predominatly a system built and designed for self-defence - we focus on using very fast flowing hand strikes and low kicks to key parts of the body. Wing Chun is reknowned for putting brain over brawn and winning a confrontation using skill and technique - not brute force and aggression.
Kung Fu is much more than 'just punching and kicking' - something that is often overlooked by many martial arts schools. At the Kung Fu School we remind out students that your training is more than a tool for self-defence but also a vehicle for self-improvement, personal growth and is often the catalyst to a healthier life.
