Our mission is to build strength of body and mind, and discipline through a traditional Chinese art form. Beyond this foundational core – the CWRU Kung Fu club has been formed to give students the opportunity to learn self defense and performance level fighting forms.
The CWRU Kung Fu Club practices Northern Shaolin Long Fist and Seven-star Praying Mantis Kung Fu - two dynamic styles that focus on intercepting/absorbing attacks, performing traditional forms, and learning self-defense, throws, strikes, and sparring techniques. The club also practices Shuai Chiao, a type of Chinese wrestling and subsequently had success in many tournaments.
There are very practical and stylistic aspects to this martial art. For an athlete, it's a great opportunity to improve your overall performance. For everyone, it's a great opportunity to develop skills at your own pace - and experience continuous accomplishments.
