What is Chow Gar Praying Mantis Kung-Fu?
Chow Gar a revered close-in and medium range fighting system that has existed for more than 250 years. It consists mainly of hand techniques, but also low kicks, locking and seizing skills. It is fast, powerful and efficient, with no wasted movement.
Benefits of training Chow Gar
- Effective self defence. Chow Gar is an excellent system for novices to pick up and reap benefits from. The techniques and applications are simple – not to be confused with easy.
- Good for your physical and emotional health. Gives your heart and lungs a workout, teaches you to control emotions such as fear and anger, and increases self-confidence.
- Fat Loss. This is a no brainer. Intense training forces your body to adapt. Fat loss and increased metabolism is a natural by-product of this.
- Strength. Speed. Power. Mantis training drills make you stronger and teach you how to move that force quickly.
- Pain tolerance. Make no mistake, training Chow Gar is tough. There's a reason why Kung-Fu literally translates to "hard work". The training is not for everyone, which is why I offer a 30-day trial to all new students.
- It’s fun! Everyone loves hitting things. Learn to do it in a safe environment.
