Progressive Martial Arts

For Pre-Teens & Teenagers


Our club is dedicated to offering quality Martial Arts in a fun yet challenging format. Our specially designed program is aimed directly at preteens and teenagers (ages 11– 17) to allowing them to learn in a positive and healthy environment. The club ethos is one of fun while at the same time developing their physical, mental and social well being. Our program incorporates elements from our Shaolin Kung Fu syllabus, self and from our Chinese Kickboxing sports training.

Our club combines the best of Yang's Martial Arts Association (a world famous martial arts organisation headed by Master Yang, Jwing Ming), realistic Self defence and the future Olympic sport of ‘San shou'.

Shaolin Kung Fu
Shaolin Longfist: - This style features very impressive and powerful kicks including the famous tornado and butterfly kicks.

Shaolin Whitecrane: - This is one of the original 5 animal Fist styles developed early in the History of the Shaolin Temple . The Whitecrane teaches very fast and penetrating hand strikes and also specialises in Chin Na – joint locking.

Progression is made through the system by a coloured belt syllabus with international recognition through YMAA International!

San Shou
Otherwise known as Chinese Kickboxing this sport is on the fast track to being an Olympic sport in either 2012 or 2016. Chinese Kickboxing uses Punching and Kicking techniques from all martial art styles but also incorporates throwing techniques making it a very spectacular combat sport. Competition is an option for those who wish to test themselves!

Self defence
Our self defence program has been taught to thousands of teenagers since 2004 in various second level schools. Our self defence program teaches the “4 A's” - Awareness, Anticipation, Avoidance, Action.
