Kids Kung Fu
WU LIN Kung Fu is focused on children and teenagers who are looking for a holistic, clearly structured, efficient, and traditional martial art. Besides giving the safety and self-confidence to be able to defend yourself in case of emergency, WU LIN Kung Fu also leads to calmness, concentration, relaxation, and health. Kung Fu (Gongfu) means "hard work". Work is hard when it is demanding a lot of physical and mental effort from us, when this challenge is sometimes even uncomfortable, and is demanding patience and perseverance.
The WU LIN Academy has made it its job to meet the different needs and requirements children and teenagers have. Kung Fu training is offered based on age, and the training is adjusted to the respective level of physical and mental development of the kids. We also care a lot about a holistic training approach. A training unit (60 minutes) consists of three parts, and is meant to influence and promote the following skills of children and teenagers in a positive way:
- agility
- dexterity
- coordination
- tenacity
- power
- concentration
- fitness
- stamina
- self-confidence
- loyalty
- sense of responsibility
- discipline
Parents, teachers, and psychologists confirm positive change and respectable success in respect of:
- impairment of motor nerves
- aggressive behavior
- excessive reserve
- timidity
- fidget syndrome
- lack of concentration
- lacking self-confidence
- inferiority feelings
- fears and problems
Besides exercising specific gymnastics there are different forms learned, and hand and leg techniques practiced with a partner. Aids like punch bags, mitts, etc. are being specifically used, and general expertise is promoted. The WU LIN Organization organizes various events like e.g. tournaments, examinations, etc. to cultivate contact with the other students of the WU LIN martial-art schools in Switzerland.
The WU LIN Martial-Arts Academy sees itself as an excellent alternative and/or meaningful addition for traditional kinds of sport or leisure activities. Boys as well as girls appreciate the varied Kung Fu training sessions, and enjoy the pleasant company among each other.
The weekly training sessions are run with lots of passion, patience, and empathy by trained instructors. Participation in a free training session is possible anytime without obligation, and without prior notice. A pair of long-legged jogging pants, a t-shirt, and a pair of light sneakers is all you need!
