Looking for a place to train in Kung Fu? Check out the Ch'uan Chang Do Kung Fu Association, right here in Sawbridgeworth. Founded way back in January 1975 by SiFu Sijo Michael Crisp, they mix martial arts styles like karate and kung fu to create something truly unique.
They've got clubs in Sawbridgeworth, Braughing, and Hatfield Broad Oak, with sessions running all year round. Each club has its own vibe because the instructors bring their own style to the table. You can focus on whatever suits you best – be it combat, fitness, or honing your skills.
Got kids or are you a junior? No problem! Juniors over 5 can start at Sawbridgeworth, and if you're over 7, you can join in at Aythorpe and Hatfield Broad Oak. For the seniors, anyone over 16 is good to go. You're free to join any session that fits your schedule, and you don't even need to be there every week. Feel free to mix and match clubs to fit your routine.
The instructors are top-notch, and sessions happen at places like the Hatfield Broad Oak Scout Hut and Bullfields Centre in Sawbridgeworth. You'll start with a warm-up, then move on to exercises that cover blocking, kicking, and punching. Sessions usually wrap up with some sparring to put your new skills to the test.
Ch'uan Chang Do Kung Fu Association is all about getting people excited about martial arts, whether you're a total newcomer or looking to get back into it. The community here is super supportive, and you'll find people of all ages and skill levels. It's a great place for fitness, self-defence, or just picking up a new hobby.
