Could this be a good fit for you?

You may enjoy training with me if you:

• Are curious about Kung Fu but don’t want hard, competitive training
• Want to explore movement, balance, breathing or focus
• Like having time to ask questions as well as practise
• Want a personal practice that can adapt as you learn

My approach is calm and exploratory. We work at your pace, with no sparring or pressure to do anything you’re uncomfortable with. If you’re mainly looking for competition, fighting or an intense fitness class, this probably isn’t the right fit.

What happens in a session?

We begin with a warm-up and simple movement, then shape the session around what you’d like to explore. Depending on your interests, we might work with posture, balance, coordination, breathing, relaxation or simple Kung Fu movements. There’s time to talk, try things, ask questions and notice what changes.

There’s no fixed routine for every student. Some sessions may focus on practical movement; others may explore an idea and how it feels in the body. We’ll find an approach that suits you.

Start with a free introduction

We’ll meet, talk about what you’re looking for and try a little practice. You can ask questions at any time. It’s a chance for both of us to see whether training together feels right.

The introduction takes 30–45 minutes and is free, with no obligation to continue.

Kung Fu as a practice of learning

Kung Fu is often understood as a martial art, but for me it’s also a way to keep learning about yourself through movement and attention. The name is commonly associated with skill developed through effort and practice. In our sessions, an idea can help you understand a movement, while practice can help you feel what that idea means.

I sometimes describe my approach as “old man Kung Fu”: calm, thoughtful training that values awareness, timing and using less force. We may explore posture, tension and relaxation, or how a small change in movement affects your balance and sense of ease. There’s no need to get it right straight away; the aim is to become curious and find more choice in how you move and respond.
