Happy New Year 2012. We are back as of today 16 January 2012; both Glenhuntly and Camberwell are restarting today as per usual schedule. Which means Kung Fu Koala Kids classes are restarting this week; we are not waiting for the various school to restart (as these seem to be all different anyway). Also, this is a good time to bring friends into the Kung Fu Koala Kids Classes and share the fun! REMEMBER, we do not make any breaks for School Holiday but will now train all the way through to December uninterrupted (except for acts of God and Politicians)

In January we will be focusing n Stretching. Not power stretching; we will add a short stretching routine to the normal training sot that we can all get back to good flexibility. SPECIAL INVITE TO FRIENDS AND PARENTS - come along and work out those stiff and aching muscles for free. You can join us in January for free stretching and you can stay for all or part of the class. No obligations aside from being nice!

The Shaolin Wasp Principle

Most of us do not want to be in a violent and or physical conflict. Most of us do not wish to spend their free time preparing for a violent or physical conflict.

Most of us do not wish to be around people who are violent and pushy; yet these people are everywhere. Most of us want to get on with our lives, love, work, family, play without being confronted by the increasing everyday reality of life. and this is where the Style that is many really 'hits' the spot. You do not need to become a bully or aggressive, you do not need to bulk up and become big! That is where the 5 Animal Style allows you to adapt the style to your needs not adapt yourself to the style!Interested? Want to know more........

What's all the Buzz around Shaolin Kung Fu anyway?

Shaolin Warrior Monks, Shaolin Soccer, "The Shaolin Temple", Shaolin Monks......etc. Shaolin was popularised by the 1970 film Shaolin with Jacky Chan. The martial arts and the style shown there was so impact full that that the US series Kung Fu when it came out with David Carradine become a cult classic. It depicted a style of movement based on inner calm and style rather than brute force and slugging. It was beautiful, graceful, economic of movement and powerful.

Developed 1500 years ago in a Buddhist Temple based on a combination of Yoga, Breath Exercise, Internal Strengthening (Chi Kung), Indian Fighting Arts; it all merged with Chinese martial arts. Over a period of 1000 years it developed to the one style that is many; a style that does not require the practitioner to be strong, quick and aggressive to be successful. Interested?
