At training time, you will usually see our Shaolin Kung Fu / Wushu flag and a white A-frame at the entrance. Come straight through to the main hall. There is no need to know anyone or have previous martial arts experience.

On Saturdays, training may be in the main hall or the carpeted room to the right of the entrance. The flag will always mark the correct door.

Kung Fu / Wushu Class Times

Arrive a few minutes early and you will usually find us setting up or speaking with students. Beginners are welcome to come in, watch, have a chat, or join the class.

Your First Visit: Three Free Sessions

Come in, meet us and see how we train. You can watch a class, ask questions or join in for three free sessions before deciding whether to become a member. No booking required.

We teach traditional Shaolin Five Animal Kung Fu / Wushu, including practical self-defence, forms, balance, flexibility and control. We explain what you are doing, how to do it and why it works. We adapt the training to your experience and ability.

Classes rarely exceed eight to ten people. Two fully qualified instructors are always present, usually including at least one master-level instructor. That gives us time to explain, demonstrate and work with you on the details.

Timing, balance, and control only come from practice, and sparring is fun, and a good workout.

The Wudang Sword practice is like a mixture of Tai Chi Sword and Yoga. It coordinates movement with stretching and breathing at a slow pace. It is beautiful and elegant, and the movements are functional, not floral.

If you have questions, want to watch a class, or prefer to speak first, contact me directly.

You can come in, watch, or join and try a session. There is no pressure.

Come and see it for yourself.
