Kung Fu & Wing Chun
Duration: 1 hour; $15. Build your self confidence. Learn the Way of Wing Chun, and the fight is in your hands. Wing Chun, a traditional Chinese kung fu system, hinges on the tenet of being proactive offensively, taking the fight to your opponent. It fuses quick thinking with powerfully efficient attacks to surprise and subdue, turning the tables on the aggressor-victim relationship. As such, it is ideally suited to helping smaller combatants take on larger foes. Florida Wushu Kung Fu Academy features an updated style of the classic form, designed to eliminate technical deficiencies and more properly align the art with natural human movements. In addition to learning an effective form of martial artistry, this class will develop your mental and physical strength, so that should the situation ever arise, you can defend yourself with the conviction that you're in control. Shirk your passive tendencies, and find yourself rising to any occasion, whether it be in a fight or day-to-day life. Everybody Wing Chun Tonight!
