The two main styles of Kung Fu taught at the Chinese Martial and Arts Centre are Chang Chuan and Hong Chuan.

The Chinese Martial Arts and Health Centre is unique in that it focuses on both artistic and effective self defence techniques. We have set out to teach traditional arts with the intention of giving students an authentic way of teaching. There are three main areas that are focused on:

Physical Fitness: Physical fitness is not a prerequisite of joining the school. Fitness is built up as the student progresses in the school system until the fitness of an elite athlete is reached and often exceeded. A holistic approach involving physical exercise, stretching, breathing and meditation is applied to fitness training.

Forms: Forms are our textbooks and, although elegant and artistic in their own right, are the source of deadly fighting responses. Both northern and southern styles are taught concurrently ensuring the student understands their relevance.

Self defense: Students are taught basic universal fighting techniques and are also taught to use the fighting techniques derived from forms. We aim to make the student instinctive recognizing the fact that each student has a unique body and therefore will favor certain techniques which suit their makeup. After the initial two/three years the students are introduced to full contact sparring. Chi Na is also a vital part of self defence. Chi Na is the art of locking and seizing an opponent by using joint locks, cavity press, and sealing of the breath.
