PHYSICAL
Jow Gar Kung Fu provides the ultimate exercise for all ages.
Combining high and low intensity movements with anaerobic and aerobic exercise, kung fu provides a modifiable form of exercise which can be undertaken by people of all ages. S Through proven training techniques and exercises, Kung Fu increases flexibility, coordination, speed, and stamina. Students experience noticeable improvement in strength and muscle development. Also effective as a means of weight control, the overall effect of Kung Fu training is a toned, healthy body.
MENTAL
Kung Fu offers a healthy release from physical and mental stress. A feeling of self-confidence and self-worth is gained as students progress through a series of Kung Fu training levels and increased abilities. The concentration, discipline and confidence acquired from Kung Fu training will carry over into all aspects of life, fostering a general feeling of emotional well-being. The principles of Kung Fu also embody a positive and coordinated outlook on life, providing tension and stress relief through physical and internal exercises such as meditation and Chi Kung.
Jow Gar training is also mentally engaging and stimulating. This keeps your motivation to exercise at the highest possible level.
SELF DEFENCE
Unlike any other forms of exercise, the martial arts offer the added benefit of self defence. The powerful art of Jow Gar will provide students with the skills and confidence necessary for successful self defence. Jow Gar's great range of kicking techniques, punches, blocks, joint locking and throws make this a most practical and effective form of self defence.
Students practice these techniques, under guided supervision, to develop self and situational awareness. This enables them to avoid trouble before it starts, and to use physical force only when there is no other choice.
Training consists of:
• Stretching and body conditioning exercises
• Practical self defence techniques
• Meditation and Qi energy cultivation and circulation.
• Empty hand and weapon forms.
• Sparring (optional).
• Qin Na (grappling and joint locking).
• History and philosophy of the system.
