Established in 1976, Pa-Kua Cambridge is an internationally renowned martial arts school located in Cambridge. With a strong emphasis on multiple styles and ancient Chinese knowledge, Pa-Kua offers a unique approach to martial studies. The school prides itself on fostering a family atmosphere, personalised attention, acceptance of all people, and individual evolution.
Pa-Kua Cambridge offers a range of modalities for both kids and adults. The martial art and self-defence classes take place on Wednesdays from 7pm to 8pm at the Polonia Club Function Room. These classes provide an opportunity to learn self-defence techniques through an internal martial art based on multiple styles, all in a non-competitive and friendly environment.
For those interested in delving deeper into the movements of martial arts and gaining control over their bodies, the Tai Chi - Cosmodynamics classes are held on Wednesdays from 6pm to 7pm, also at the Polonia Club Function Room. These classes not only help relieve joint pain but also provide a deeper understanding of the surrounding universe.
Pa-Kua Cambridge also offers Chinese Archery classes for teenagers and adults. These classes take place on the first and third Saturdays of each month at the Kelsey Kerridge Sports Centre. The archery style taught incorporates traditional recurve bows, bamboo arrows, and a thumb draw technique with martial art elements.
