This group is for people who are interested in Chinese martial arts or currently/previously trained Chinese martial arts. No previous martial arts experience necessary!!
Kung fu or Gong fu means hard work but is synonymous to traditional Chinese martial arts. There are many different styles such as Song Shan Shaolin temple kung fu, Northern Shaolin Kung fu, Various animal style kung fu, etc.
Wushu means martial arts but is synonymous for modern Chinese martial arts. Modern Chinese martial arts contain traditional movements that evolved from traditional kungfu, longfist, that incorporate many acrobatic movements. You have seen "wushu" in Jet Li films.
Although we respect other styles of martial arts we will be practicing Chinese martial arts.
No experience is necessary, just an open-mind.
We will meet up to train kung fu and wushu, attend martial arts seminars, attend martial arts tournaments, practice choreography, watch kung fu movies, eat chinese food and other foods, and socialize now and then.
We ask that all participants are respectful to one another and come with an open mind. We look forward to meeting up and having a lot of fun and look forward to spreading the art of Chinese martial arts and culture!
