Introduction



Robert ManicomWe are a friendly and formal school of Chinese Kung Fu. All our Teachers, Disciples and Students are attitude free and friendly, we teach Traditional Kung Fu to good hearted people. Evil " I'm Gonna Break your legs" people are not welcome. We offer gradings, which includes a rank belt and a certificate, but doing gradings is not compulsory. Our Kungfu Style, Ming Kung Fu, is a combination of Wudang, Chen and Yang Chinese Family styles. We offer Group and Private one-on-one classes, teaching indoors and outdoors. We train in three classes: Dragon Class (Standard general all round), Tiger Class (Fighting Class) & Crane Class (Mental Development), Only the Dragon Class is compulsory. Our school teaches a comprehensive and complete Internal Martial Art based on the Yin Yang Daoist Martial Art. The student starts with Slow Yang Taiji, then through Chen Taiji & Chen Weapons, then moves gradually into the Fast Wudang Sets. Even though we teach as the traditional Wudang, in a group class, we will push those who pactice more, those who listen more, those who are more disciplined and those who WANT more. The more the student mentally and physically wants to grow the more we push and help that student. This, we have found, is a better method as some students like the slow and timeous journey, yet others want to work hard and achieve more and more. Our classes cater for both groups of students. Our Journey Starts with PURE Taiji (TaiChi) then moves into the Fist Sets of Wudang. Because the Wudang fist sets are Internal Martial Art; the concepts of both the Taiji and the Fist Sets are the same. Students can do Ming Kung Fu as a Pure Traditional Art or enter into the South African Kungfu (Wushu) Championships held by the S.A.W.F. South African Wushu Federation, which is registered with IWuF International Wushu Federation and SASCOC South African Olympic Committee. Two of our instructors are Qualified Judges of Taolu on National Level.
