The training is very hard, but just being in the presence of real life fighting monks makes the experience worth every penny.

I attend with my 5 yr old son in our respective 'preperation' classes as often as possible. One major plus for me is the presence of a gifted Chinese doctor, who has been giving me treatment for a back injury which caused Sciatica. After just two treatments I am off the prescription painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs. A super friendly, welcoming atmosphere has added to the positive experience for us as well as the inspiration of seeing the Shifu and senior students in action , many of whom are national or international champion in their chosen discipline

I've been interested in martial arts classes since I was really young and my dads's a big Bruce Lee…read morefan so I thought i've give kung fu a try at the school on spindle way crawley. To be honest i'm not sure what I was expecting but some high kicks and acrobatics wouldve looked good to me. The school was really nice and their were a couple of really good and very pleasant instructors there who took lots of time to help me out and put me with a more experienced student. I thought I was in for a beating and was quite nervious to start. Looking back I've no idea why I was worried. I learnt some reallly practical stuff , self defence and when I asked about high kicks they said they're not great for self defence because you can lose balnce, get your leg grabbed etc which makes total sense. The kung fu school was great, the best venue in Crawley by far and I had a fanstastic time there. I've now had 3 lessons, a great time and look forward to working up the food chain : ) Highly recommended but only 4/5 stars because so high kicks would be cool!

Age, gender and experience are never a barrier to improving each and every human being; a philosophy clearly running through everything that this former World Champion seems happy to impart.
