Fit for combat?
In martial arts, if you attend the lesson, the assumption is that you are
fit enough to train. If there's anything preventing you from training
properly that night, a kung fu lesson is not suitable for you.
Traditional kung fu does not offer concessions or tailored lessons.
Nor does it offer age, gender or weight-specific classes. Everyone trains
together. The only differentiation is ability.
Appropriateness
To train
chin
na, shuai
jiao, self
defence, tai chi chuan or weapons, you
must fulfil the health and safety criteria presented by our insurance
company.
It states that all students must be taught relative to
ability/competence/health.
Mandatory factors
These six items are essential for martial arts training with
our
school:
No medical/health problems *
Age (over 18) **
Good attitude & humour
Weekly attendance
Prepared to practice at home between classes
Not studying another martial art
* this includes
being notably overweight
** please note that we are not
insured to teach combat to
children or new starters above the
age
of 60
Fitness & attitude
We reserve the right to decline
martial tuition:
if we feel that a student is
physically unable to study kung fu safely
if an individual demonstrates the
wrong attitude for kung fu study
if the candidate is
too young or too old to start kung fu lessons
Insurance regulations prohibit a student from training material that is
unsuitable for their fitness/ability level.
Rachel will always act with the wellbeing of
the student in mind.
If youre looking for something
easy, then kung fu is probably not for you.
