Frequently Asked Questions

"I'm completely out of shape. Can I still start?"

Absolutely! Our beginner program is designed for people of all fitness levels. We progress gradually, and every student improves at their own pace. Many of our most dedicated students started with minimal fitness.

"How long before I can defend myself?"

Basic self-defence awareness begins immediately. Practical defensive skills develop within 3-6 months with regular training. However, true martial arts mastery is a lifelong journey.

"Do I need to buy equipment right away?"

Not at all. We provide training equipment for beginners. Most students invest in their own uniform and basic gear after 2-3 months when they're committed to continuing.

"What if I have old injuries?"

We accommodate various physical limitations. Inform instructors about any injuries during your first class, and they'll modify techniques accordingly. Many students find kung fu actually helps with chronic pain and mobility issues.

"How is this different from a gym martial arts class?"

Our focus is on authentic traditional training with proper progression and individual attention. Unlike large fitness chains, we maintain small class sizes and emphasise technique quality over exercise quantity.
