Teaching at The Beijing Milun School of Traditional Kungfu

All lessons follow the following basic structure:

Zhang Shifu 01
  1. Kungfu basics - kicking and stretching. To ensure that the level of students improves quickly, all classes start with a routine of kicks and stretches. If a student cannot kick, their level will always remain the same. Through the practice of these basics a student is able to develop real kungfu, thus ensuring they reach a higher level in the style of their choice.
  2. Routines - All styles have their own routines and students are required to practise these frequently.
  3. Applications - While kungfu is a great way to stay in shape, The Milun School has not lost sight of its martial nature, and all classes teach students how to use their style for self-defence.
  4. Philosophy - Internal Martial Arts can not be separated from philosophy, and the styles at The Beijing Milun School of Traditional Kungfu are taught in a philosophical context.
