Hung Kuen Kung Fu is a traditional Chinese martial art originating from the Southern Shaolin Temple. Hung Kuen is based on the movements of the five traditional Kung Fu animals Dragon, Tiger, Leopard, Snake and Crane and the five classical Kung Fu elements Metal, Earth, Fire, Water and Wood. Hung Kuen Kung Fu is powerful, graceful, and provides solid self-defence techniques and challenges your fitness.

Training

Our classes feature a mix of traditional and modern training that provide students solid foundations to build on. We practice stance training and combinations to add to our strength, power, and flexibility of the techniques. Forms practice is also an important focus of our training and practiced throughout. Hung Kuen Kung Fu is an excellent way to learn self defence and you will learn traditional self defence techniques as well as more modern techniques that will enable you to protect yourself. Pad work and sparring are also part of our training which will help you to learn correct timing and distance from your opponent as well as to increase your strength and stamina. Our more advanced students (green belt onwards) will have the opportunity to practice weapons training. 

No matter your level of fitness ability, all are welcome to join us at any time of the year. whether you have never tried martial arts, or you already have many years of training behind you and wish to try a new style. Just show up for one of our sessions and speak with the trainer or one of the committee members and we'll get you settled in. Your first session is free. Make sure to wear comfortable clothing you can move in and to bring water.

Competitions and performances

Members have the chance to participate in competitions. Our main competition is in December in Manchester, where we compete against other university Hung Kuen clubs in traditional forms, weapons forms and sparring. Competition is a great way to demonstrate what you have learnt in training, not matter your experience level, and make connections with students from universities.

In previous years we have attended the competition and our members have earned medals and trophies in various categories. We hope to further this success this year!

Socials
