Kung Fu Internal Martial Arts in Forrest - Fitness, Health & Self Defence

10 week course : Tues 15 Oct to Thurs 19 Dec

First Lesson Obligation Free. Wear comfortable clothing and flat soled shoes.

The body conditioning of Wu Dao Gong internal martial arts is truly amazing and is second to none. It draws on the finest methods of internal and external disciplines that have been refined for thousands of years by many great masters. Students who practise these methods are amazed at the changes they experience physically, mentally and emotionally.

This type of training differs greatly from a gym type workout or a purely fighting system as it works in a holistic and integrated way. The sinews and joints are loosened and then strengthened. The muscles are toned. Gradually, the internal organs are affected and even the bones become stronger. The mind is trained to relax and to develop the ability to focus clearly, even under pressure.

Benefits that You Can Expect:

• stronger back, more flexible joints and tendons
• increased strength, stamina and energy
• improved posture, flexibility and coordination
• greater confidence
• enhanced feeling of optimism and happiness
• expanded clarity and awareness
• a sense of centredness, calm and peace
• robust internal energy
• development of speed and power

The health and healing aspects of Wu Dao Gong have made many positive changes to our students. Benefits they have gained include recovering from old injuries, a stronger immune system, a sense of calm and clarity, more energy and confidence and a feeling of well-being which carries the day.

Some of our students are experts in health professions such as physiotherapy, osteopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, western medicine, psychology and psychiatry. All agree that this is a very deep and comprehensive system for training the whole person.

What do we train?

The Wu Dao Gong system is based on the principle that stability and growth need to be supported by a deep, strong foundation. As an old Chinese adage states, "The top is the basics and the basics are the top." Training starts with loosening tension from muscles, joints and sinews. Various practices are taught to calm the mind and improve concentration and relaxation. Methods using punching and kicking develop balance, coordination, concentration and power. The legs form the physical roots of the body. According to Chinese medicine, the legs also influence the energetic roots of the body's health and vitality.

This stage of the training process teaches and develops an integrative strength, that is, we are taught to use the whole body - tendons, joints, muscles and mind - in a synergistic way.

There are various stages of training. Students are encouraged to develop in a non-competitive step-by-step process. Each stage builds on the previous one, training mindfulness to higher levels and fine tuning the nervous system. This method produces deeper levels of satisfaction and well being.
