At Performance Kung Fu we believe that fitness is the foundation of good kung fu and a good life. There are 11 attributes of fitness – five health-related and six skill-related components. The five health-related components are cardiovascular fitness, muscular endurance, muscular strength, flexibility, and body composition. The six skill-related components are agility, balance, coordination, power, reaction time, and speed. We develop all 11 of these areas by using functional movements that are constantly varied and performed at high intensity. What this means is that in each class we combine bodyweight exercises, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, and skill training resulting in a total program to teach you kung fu and help you gain whole-body fitness in one hour 3 – 4 times a week. In class, led by motivating instructors, you will be squatting, lunging, balancing, doing pushups, and more – all with more variations than you thought could possibly exist. You’ll be learning how to kick, punch, block, wrist-lock, sweep, throw and grapple with your workout partners. Throughout, your safety is our primary concern. We teach you how to perform every exercise and technique safely and effectively by focusing on biomechanically correct, efficient and effective movement patterns. This allows you to improve your fitness and reduce the risk of injury at the same time.
