I have been a member of Head Academy Kung Fu since November 2007. It has formed the backbone of my physical and mental fitness over the years. The physical training aspects of Head Academy should not be underrated. Nathan and team take a holistic approach to exercise. Whether that is traditional form training, pad work, sparring or modern self-defense aspects of Kung Fu. The fitness aspects of each class is magnified with the focus on body weight exercise to help strengthen muscles as a compliment to the cardiovascular nature of the traditional forms. I have studied several martial arts previously and Head Academy place great value in the applying traditional forms to real world scenario's. Every technique taught can be applied in a self-defense situation. There is no kiai masters or water benders to be found here 😉 Furthermore I attribute my training longevity and ability to recovery from injury and muscle soreness to techniques Nathan and team incorporate into the program at Head Academy. Techniques including stretching flows, foam rollers and importantly the correct way to use them ! Along with joint warm ups and injury management are part of a visionary and professional approach to martial Arts.

Never Too Old – Kung Fu Classes for Adults

Are you searching for a new and interesting way to develop your physical health? The power of movement and the positive effect it can have on emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing cannot be understated, and with Kung Fu classes for adults, you can reconnect your physical body with your spiritual self on a journey to personal health and wellbeing.

Here at Head Academy, we truly believe that ancient Chinese wisdom still has a place in modern life, and through the tireless learning of our director, Sifu Nathan Head, we have developed a system that includes martial arts, mediation, movement, and healing to help people just like you grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

We have so much to offer all our students, and with Kung Fu classes for adults and children alongside workshops and retreats, we know you will love what you find here at Head Academy.

The Head Academy Approach to Kung Fu for Adults

There are several facets to the Head Academy Kung Fu for adults.

The most obvious is perhaps adults Kung Fu lessons. Across our five locations, we have classes aimed at adults who want to combine improved movement, effective stress coping mechanisms, correct breathing techniques and flexibility with kick-ass self-defence.

You are never too old to take advantage of the way that adults Kung Fu training can help you in all areas of your life.

Alongside our martial arts classes for adults to learn Kung Fu, Sifu Nathan Head has developed what he describes as ‘The Internal Way’. This is based on the teachings of Taoist Master Mantrak Chia combined with modern research into the connection of the energetic and physical systems of the human body. Through The Internal Way, you can go on a journey of emotional and physical self-mastery through a step-by-step system that will help you escape negative emotions to build a life of health and vitality through seated meditation and Qigong. All of this is based on Taoist philosophy, working to align oneself with the natural order of Nature and The Universe.

If adults Kung Fu is not for you, then we offer other ways of creating movement in your life – and this can be found through our other classes.

  • 5 Element Flow is a yoga-style class developed by Sifu Nathan Head, based on traditional Chinese medicine and Taoist Theory.
  • Kung Fu Cardio is based on realistic self-defence skills combined with movement.
  • Timeless Mobility: this is a great class to prevent injuries and niggles, and rehab existing problems.
  • Broken Boomers: the older generation needs some more gentle movement, so for our adults born between 1946 and 1964 (the Boomers), we have developed a range of classes suitable for their unique needs.

how are our adults kung fu classes structured?

All of our Adults Kung Fu classes are the result of 18 years of refinement. As we develop as martial artists and instructors, we develop new and improved methods of structuring our classes. As part of our ongoing dedication to improving our knowledge of health and fitness, we instructors are always educating and reeducating ourselves on the latest techniques and philosophies on effective and healthy training.
Our adults martial classes contain the time-tested methods of training Kung Fu, something that has been proven over hundreds of years. Traditional Kung Fu training works the health of an entire individual. From the energy systems of the body to the physical, mental and spiritual systems. With continued practice, an individual will experience health and fitness that is not found through any one training method.
On top of this time-tested method we add a variety of other important practices, from sets of full-body joint rotations to effective whole-body stretching flows and self-myofascial release techniques. 
 
In order to experience the benefits of just one Kung Fu class at our academies you would need to attend 3-4 different classes elsewhere to receive the same content and benefits. This purposeful and planned structure to our kung fu classes means that our students are benefiting from unparalleled tuition in the martial art of Jow Gar Kung Fu for self defence and health. It also means that our classes are achievable and challenging for all ages and skill levels. 
 
A recent comment from one of our new students probably sums it up best. “ I would have to attend a martial art class, a yoga class, and a few more just to do what we did in this class tonight.”
