Wu shu kwan classes

Wu shu kwan classes at Imperial College (behind the Royal Albert Hall) Saturday and Sunday 16h30 to 18h30. Membership costs £43 a year or you can go to individual classes for £7. The IC Kung Fu club, the oldest martial arts club at Imperial, practices the Wu Shu Kwan style, a westernised form of classical Chinese martial arts, and is similar to western kickboxing. The training provides a solid base of physical fitness and conditioning coupled with an effective fighting ability. The classes are structured in the same way each week and include cardiovascular exercise, stretching, basic techniques, forms and sparring practice. When free sparring you will be paired with a senior belt, who will help you to progress quickly and safely from zero fighting ability to full contact sparring. The club also encourages a lively social atmosphere outside of training, with regular events and get-togethers. Training is on Saturdays and Sundays. If you are interested, just turn up in loose clothing – classes are open to everyone from beginner to black belt and we’ll even give you the first lesson free! Contact Hamish Spender
