Bristol University Kung Fu Club

  • Logo

Bristol SU recognises that the costs of participating in student groups can be prohibitively expensive for some students. The Activity Hardship Fund was created to support those students who wouldn't otherwise be able to participate in their chosen activity due to the cost.

About Us

We are an inclusive Kung Fu club that aims to bring our martial art to as many people as possible. We offer beginner friendly training sessions that allow anyone to learn Kung Fu and improve their fitness and flexibility. 

The system of Kung Fu we practice is called  Seven Start Praying Mantis. Often reffered to as 'Praying Mantis Boxing', romanized as Tanglang Chuan. Mantis Boxing focuses on fast, agile strikes and hooking techniques that emulate the hunting methods of a praying mantis. 

The Seven Stars refer to a person's, shoulders, elbows, hands, hips, knees, feet, and their head, and focuses on keeping a good alignment between all these different points.
