If you’re interested in Kung Fu lessons, to learn how to defend yourself in common scenarios without needing to carry weapons, come to Swanage in Dorset where I teach Chinese Kung Fu private lessons to individuals and small groups from my home.
My lessons are focused on equipping you to defend yourself quickly and effectively. The fundamentals I teach are quick to learn and easy to practise.
What style of Kung Fu will you learn?
I teach a mix of Wing Chun Kung Fu for highly practical defensive purposes, and Tai Chi for a more dynamic yet gentle approach, so you will have all the options to adapt to different levels of violence as required.
I believe Tai Chi and Wing Chun belong together as a single integrated artform – this is how they used to be, and this is how many teachers around the world are teaching them today.
What training methods do I focus on?
I do not teach longwinded solo routines unless you specifically request this, because they are not the most efficient way to learn, plus they encourage bad habits in their practitioners, demanding never-ending corrections by a perfectionist experienced in better training methods.
Instead, my lessons are focused on pairwork exercises, including fixed drills and more flexible exercises like Push Hands and Sticky Hands which are the real heart & soul of top level Chinese Kung Fu, ensuring this family of martial arts can stay highly practical & accurate throughout the generations due to their built-in foolproof self-correctional features.
