Kung Fu and Tai Chi, taught the traditional way

A martial arts school in Stone, near Aylesbury. Not a fighting sports school. Your first lesson is free and you need no experience.

  • Kung Fu
  • Wing Chun
  • Tai Chi
  • Qi Gong
  • Meditation

The combat is the martial. The lifelong pursuit of mastery is the art.

A true martial arts school

A sports fighting school concentrates on fitness and application. We teach the secrets of combat application, with the discipline and drive to keep working towards mastery.

Traditional Chinese arts

We are a multidisciplinary school offering traditional Kung Fu and Tai Chi styles. There is a lifetime of learning here, so no two lessons feel the same.

Internal and external

We kick, punch, lock and take down. We also train sensitivity, Chi cultivation, Qi Gong and meditation, to develop the inner self as well as the body.

Classes for adults,
juniors and one to one

All group classes are at Stone Village Hall. Come in tracksuit bottoms, a t-shirt and lightweight trainers.

Two generations from Grandmaster Ip Man.

Tai Chi
