Ming Kung Fu KZN School of Chinese Shadow Boxing Kung Fu Wudang Kungfu Warrior Style Taiji (Tai Chi) Durban
Chinese Shadow Boxing is a journey starting from the Traditional Yang Family Slow style moving into the Chen Style then finishing with the Wudang Style. We train in three classes Dragon Class (Standard general all round), Tiger Class (Fighting Class) & Crane Class (Mental Development), Only the Dragon Class is compulsory. Our school teaches a comprehensive and complete Internal Martial Art based on the Wudang Daoist Martial Art. The student starts with Slow Yang Taiji then moves gradually into the Fast Wudang Sets. Even though we teach as the traditional Wudang, in a group class, we will push those who pactice more, those who listen more, those who are more disciplined and those who WANT more. The more the student mentaly and physically wants to grow the more we push and help that student. This, we have found, is a better method as some students like the slow and timeous journey, yet others want to work hard and achieve more and more. Our classes cater for both groups of students. Our Journey Starts with PURE Taiji (TaiChi) then moves into the Fist Sets of Wudang. Because the Wudang fist sets are Internal Martial Art the concepts of both the Taiji and the Fist Sets are the same.
