Shaolin Gym Kung Fu

Shaolin Gym Kung-Fu, a proud member of BMABA, stands as a beacon of quality and dedication in Hampton. Led by Sifu Richard Card, the gym guarantees high standards in teaching and safety for all its students.

Sifu Richard embarked on his Kung-Fu journey in 2010, diving deep into the art after years of boxing and marathon training. Under the tutelage of Sifu Bob Stannells, Richard achieved his Black Sash in 2016. A year later, inspired to give back, Sifu Richard and his Kung-Fu brother Sifu Peter started teaching their community. The growing interest led them to move to Hampton Sea Scouts Hall in 2019.

The core of Shaolin Gym Kung-Fu is the White Crane Jow-Gar Tiger Leopard Fist Kung-Fu. This curriculum blends hard and soft techniques, including empty hand sets and animal forms. Students also tackle various weapon sets, practical self-defence, sparring, and pad work, fine-tuning their speed, awareness, and defence skills. Knife defence, groundwork, and Chin-Na techniques are also integral to the training.

Shaolin Gym Kung-Fu isn’t just about combat; it’s about building confidence and overall fitness. Training sessions are designed to strengthen both mind and body, helping students become more resilient. Whether you’re keen to master traditional Kung-Fu, get fitter, or pick up a new hobby, Shaolin Gym provides a supportive environment for people of all ages and fitness levels.

Sifu Richard, recognised as a Lead Instructor by BMABA, holds qualifications including DBS Enhanced checks, Safeguarding in Martial Arts, First Aid, and BMABA Level 1 Instructor Training. His dedication drives students to excel in martial arts, enhance fitness, and boost confidence.

Shaolin Gym Kung-Fu offers a comprehensive martial arts experience focused on self-defence, confidence-building, and fitness. With experienced instructors, students thrive, becoming skilled, fit, and empowered.
