We
at the Lau Gar Kung Fu Academy offer a balanced approach to our lessons
in as much as a comprehensive warm-up and stretching routine prior to
the more vigorous training exercises.
Classes are suited for men, women and children (from aged 7 upwards).
Kids class: 7-14
This session is geared towards the younger members of the academy and
focuses on development of self-confidence, discipline and of course
self-defence. The student will be taught the Lau Gar syllabus but at
the same time we endeavour to make these sessions fun to maintain interest
and to ensure they enjoy the experience whilst learning the art.
Adults
At the Academy, professionalism is maintained at all times. All students
will start by learning the basics ie. Stance work, basic blocks and
strikes. As this is the foundation of all Martial Arts and the importance
of this is maintained throughout all of the sessions be it at beginner,
intermediate or advanced. The Student will be guided through the Lau
Gar syllabus and this will involve:
-Stance work
-Various hand strikes
-Numerous self-defence techniques
-Kicking techniques
-Sparring
-Tai Chi (optional)
-Traditional Weaponry
-Chi Kung and Meditation
The sessions run for 1 hour but as the student progresses
through the belt system the training intensifies and this can last from
the normal 1hour session for up to 3 hours. This can be done at either
of the academy’s schools throughout the locality.
