About Us
Power and Stillness
Today's world is filled with many things which can prove both rewarding and harmful. We all know them, junk food, social media, gaming.
And while occasionally these things can seem rewarding, what they all have in common is one thing, they rob us of our drive and our purpose. How many of us have fantasised about being like the heroes we play as or watch on our screens, going on adventures, seeing incredible sights. But how likely are we to do this, if we only watch?
The first step is to choose how we spend our time, to waste it on watching the marvels of the world, or by taking the time to become one of those marvels.
In our classes, a student will learn not just the martial art of Northern Shaolin Kung Fu, but also begin to develop oneself, growing in confidence, disciplining the mind and body, gaining in focus as well as patience.
​
The process begins at the novice stage, where a student will learn the fundamentals of Northern Shaolin including foundational forms, essential techniques and be properly tutored in basic self defense. From there a student will undertake the test to become an apprentice. They will recieve a belt as they move further towards becoming a master.
