Move and fight like an animal
- Learn 8 animal kung fu styles
- Get fit, have fun and make friends

The animal training is great fun but isn’t easy. You learn to align every part of your body properly to get maximum power from the smallest of movements.
- Stand so you can’t be moved no matter how hard someone pushes you
- Learn to throw bigger people around with ease
- Hold your body so joint locks won’t work on you
- Learn to punch and kick with amazing power
- and so so much more
Eight animal styles
Only here can you learn the tiger, crane, leopard, monkey, mantis, eagle, snake and dragon styles.
Learn skills that will get you fit, teach you to handle stress, deal with conflict and benefit you for the rest of your life.
Our classes are fun and friendly and always open to new students.
What makes us different?
- Less rigid structure with lots of experimentation
- Fun, friendly welcoming classes
- No children under 16 to distract you
- Very comprehensive syllabus. Includes all types of physical training, weapons skills, pressure points, locks, blocks, kicks, throws, strikes etc done in a huge number of ways.
Our school is more like a group of friends getting together to learn and train rather than the strict discipline of a martial arts school. It’s a more enjoyable atmosphere.

What each animal does for you
Monkey – Agility, core strength, close in striking and locking skills. The most fun animal to train.
Crane – Flexiblity, balance, kicking skills, powerful arms. Learn to stand without fear.
Tiger – Strength that flows through your body, move like a cat. The movements are simple but with awesome whole-body power.
Leopard – Speed, ferocity, lightness. The best style for taking on multiple attackers.
Mantis – Fast reflexes, use of every part of the body, learn all the pressure points. The ultimate, most terrifying style for close in fighting.
Eagle – Awareness, powerful defensive wing moves, ripping talons, the best defence of all the animals. Become sensitive to your environment and react to threats instantly.
Snake – Penetrating strikes, constricting holds. Take flexibility to a whole new level.
Dragon – Move like water, takes elements from all other animals and merges them into the ultimate movement and fighting system.
