Kung Fu

Throughout the history of mankind there has been fighting, this has subsequently led to the development of specialised skills for self-protection. These approaches have particularly evolved in China into fighting art we now call Kung Fu. In Chinese culture the Dragon represents wisdom, strength, honour and prosperity. In mythology the Chinese Dragon is powerful and also has the ability to change its form.

"Essence of the Dragon" is a modern Kung Fu fighting style emphasising the elements of the Dragon through its fluidity of motion, adaptability and philosophies. The origin of many of its techniques can be traced back to the Shaolin Monastery in China over 1500 years ago. It incorporates punching, kicking, sweeping, locks and throws in a continuous motion of defence and attack. As a modern Kung Fu system it is adaptable to both male and female students and is tailored towards today's life style.

Like the mythical Dragon it is also not limited by rigid movement or form.
