MARTIAL ARTS CLASSES IN REDFERN.

Wing Chun Kung Fu is a Southern Chinese Boxing Martial Arts system, developed in China approximately 400 years ago. It came about during a time of civil war, up until that period most (if not all) Chinese Martial Arts were based on animal movements, hence took many years to learn as the movements were unnatural to human functionality. The people needed a relatively easy system to learn and apply readily. So a group of Shaolin (Sil Lum) Masters from different Martial styles collaborated and developed Wing Chun – an efficient, practical “human style” of martial arts.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) is a grappling art that originated in Japan and evolved in Brazil. It has of recent times become popularised by the juggernaut of mixed martial arts that is the UFC. Beyond the glamour of sporting events such as that, BJJ is a fantastic martial art for self defence as it utilises structure and leverage against your opponent which means, given the right skills and understanding a smaller person can over come a bigger/stronger one.

To be a martial artist means being an all-round athlete. While all classes will have a fitness element, we can’t possibly cover all of your training requirements in every martial arts class. So, four classes a week are dedicated to your fitness and conditioning to support your journey as a martial arts athlete.
