The martial art clubs train in the Dojo which is situated at the Sport Centre.

Shaolin Kung Fu
Shaolin Nam Pai Chuan Kung Fu (North South Fist) is a style of Kung Fu that has its roots in the traditional martial arts practised in China over 2000 years ago.
Training with the club will improve your fitness, flexibility and core strength while at the same time teaching you valuable self-defence skills.
You will also learn breathing exercises (chi gung) that promote mental relaxation and enhance health.
