Kung Fu for Adults

Nam Pai Chuan Kung Fu School teaches adults from age 17+ upwards in their adult classes.

Many adults want to improve their fitness but find that going to the gym or playing sport is not fulfilling enough.

Nam Pai Chuan Shaolin Kung Fu is a complex martial art with intricacies that take time and patience to perfect and can only be taught from an experienced master to a dedicated student.

Unlike some fitness classes where students are welcome to drop in when they like, we believe that in order to become a martial artist, regular training is essential and students should respect the value of the knowledge given.

We invite new students to attend at least two or three sessions to experience the style of training we offer, before deciding whether to join one of our centres.

Our adult-only classes provide a focused, yet fun environment where adults can truly escape from the pressures of everyday life and learn a host of new mental and physical skills whilst learning a traditional Chinese martial art which is relevant to modern life.
