Frequently Asked Questions

The Jow Gar Kung Fu techniques we teach at the academy are taught for self defence only. Unlike other forms of martial art we do not modify our training to compete in tournaments or water down the techniques to allow our students to spar with boxing gloves on. It must be said we teach our students a range of other skills that will hopefully prevent them from ever having to use their kung fu in a self-defence situation. Self defence means using potentially harmful physical force and skills in a situation that could be potentially life threatening. Kung Fu techniques focus on striking the groin, throat, eyes and other sensitive parts of the body and may also focus on immobilising the legs of your opponent and should only be used in situations of extreme need.
