Shaolin Kung Fu<br />
Learn traditional authentic Shaolin Kung Fu (Northern, Southern<br />
and Temple styles) in a fun, relaxed atmosphere. Classes are full<br />
participation and non-competitive, and designed to develop skills at<br />
your own speed and ability, with a focus on exercises and repetition<br />
to improve technique. Come learn and develop traditional kicks,<br />
punches, forms, and self-defense. Advance into sparring techniques,<br />
board breaking, traditional instruments, and more. Shaolin Kung Fu<br />
is an aerobic, great weight loss and control activity, that builds muscle,<br />
motor skills, flexibility, and power. Other benefits include increased<br />
balance, coordination, discipline, reaction time, and lifelong health<br />
advantages including a keen awareness <strong>of</strong> your health and body and<br />
increased esteem and confidence.<br />
