Dating back thousands of years, Kung Fu is not only the oldest form of martial arts, but is indeed the root of most of the other martial arts styles. Kung Fu, or Wushu as it is known in Mandarin, consists of hundreds of unique styles. Many of these styles are based on the movement, spirit, and fighting techniques of a wide variety animals.

Kung Fu has been taught and passed on in North America ever since the first Chinese people settled here, however it was taught and practiced in secret until the 1970’s. Until that time few non-Chinese were taught the secrets of this complex and beautiful martial art.

The Kung Fu practitioner learns to use their whole body to generate power through a wide variety of hand strikes and kicking techniques. Traditional Chinese “forms” (choreographed sequences of movements) are taught along with various types of traditional Chinese weapons.

Kung Fu is often called the endless journey because a lifetime of study will merely touch the surface of this fascinating martial art.

Kitchener Kicks Kung Fu program is second to none. We teach the Shaolin 5 Animal style of Kung Fu that incorporates the styles of Tiger, Leopard, Snake, Crane, and Dragon.

Our founder, Master Ron Day, learned the style directly from Masters Tony and David Chong who were one of the first to introduce this Chinese style to Canada.
