Kung-Fu

Effective striking, weaponry, throwing and locking techniques. We focus on the three requirements of traditional Kung fu: Self defence, fitness and nurturing health.

Tai Chi

Tai Chi is a complex and highly developed art that gives the practitioner a feeling of enjoyment and satisfaction which goes beyond that offered by other forms of exercise.

Kung-Fu Kids

Our exciting Kung Fu kids programme is designed for boys and girls, ages 6-11. We have specialist kids’ instructors who are passionate about equipping children with self-defence training

Chi Kung

Chi Kung is a practice of aligning breath, movement, and awareness for exercise, healing, and meditation. With roots in Chinese medicine, martial arts and philosophy, Chi Kung is traditionally viewed as a practice to cultivate and balance chi or what has been translated as “intrinsic life energy”.

Self-Defence

Our Self-defence workshops gives participants an opportunity to learn no nonsense, practical self defence applications in a relatively short time. The programme focuses on unarmed, knife and gun attacks and defences.

Kung-Fu Fitness

Fu Fit combines every aspect of physical training in one jam-packed session, targeting the muscular and cardio-respiratory systems simultaneously for total body stimulation.

  • "Having done other forms of martial arts, I have found my true passion in Kung Fu and my second home in this, Si Fu Ian's School. From the people I have formed friendships with to the wealth of knowledge, I have gained on an ongoing basis. Not only is it ideal for self-defence, which is why I started, but it is also a great way for me to keep fit and focused. Kung Fu has enabled me to become a confident, self-empowered woman."

    Georgina Diane Seymour, Medical Representative

  • "Structure, Intention, & Breathing An example of three fundamental principles found within training at the Chinese Martial Arts & Health Centre that have deeply resonated with me, and which I have carried into practice in all other aspects of my life. Learning such a vast and deep system under Si Fu Ian Galvin has been a continual process of self-discovery, grounding and mastery. It's been a rewarding life-shaping experience, as the study of this rich martial art has allowed me, and will keep pushing me, to grow in both body and mind."

    Dr Nishalin Govender B.Ch.D (U.W.C)

  • "Ever since I began practising Taiji'quan and Chang-Hong Kung Fu about 4.5 years ago, I have enjoyed better health and a calmer, more focused mind. One of the many ideas which are taught in Taiji'quan is that of not meeting force with force: a concept which manifests elegantly in modern-day life."

    Dimitar Dobrev

  • "Taiji'quan practice is a holistic art in that it develops the mind and body at the same time, posing unique challenges to each individual. I have found real-world application by using Taiji'quan breathing and posture techniques during stressful situations. It is amazing how ancient techniques are still valuable to our lifestyles today."

    Radhia Khan

  • "We love Kung Fu, no matter how hard it can be on our bodies and minds we can’t help but look forward to every class. It is a truly rewarding system that has allowed us to grow stronger in every way possible. It has given us skills that go way beyond simply kicking and punching. Kung Fu and the amazing people that train with us have become an irreplaceable part of our lives. We wouldn’t trade the time spent sweating together for anything else."
