Course Description

Hung Ga Five Animal Kung Fu

Hung Ga Five Animal Kung Fu is among the most popular martial arts of southern China. It emphasizes devastating close range attacks and rooted stance power. These are developed by a balance of external and internal strength training. The system uses techniques of the five animals and the five elements, and balances hard and soft power to improve health and self-defense skills, as well as mental focus and clarity.

Generally, class will begin with body conditioning. This will improve flexibility, stamina, and most of all strength. Conditioning is followed by an introduction of techniques and controlled practice of them. We will end class with Chi Gung exercises, which develop internal power and concentration, and are a very effective way to replenish energy. Students will also learn fight strategy and technique application. Students should wear loose, comfortable pants, comfortable sneakers, and no jewelry.


Equipment

  • Wear loose, comfortable pants, comfortable sneakers, and no jewelry.

  • Bringing a bottle of water is suggested.
