Kung Fu Kids are for all kids who wants to try out real kung fu. The only requirement is, that it is the child that wants to try it. Kung Fu is much more than just selfdefence and physical training. The child will learn to listen, learn to recieve instructions, understand his/her body better, learn to meditate and also how to act socially in difficult situations. The child will slowly optain mental strength and we have often seen shy or introvert children grow independent and strong willed and full of joy and life.
We have a strong team of instructors that have taught the KungFu Kids Classes since its conception in 2007 and some children have trained since they were 3½ years old. Girls and boys are almost equally represented.
We regularly have graduation seminars where Sifu Henrik attends and test the skills of the students and if good enough they will recieve a diploma. We have belts in varous colors representing the level of the student, t-shirts and combat wear, called a Gi.
Once a year we do a Camp, where we train all day and have a sleepover in the club. In the evening we watch old kung fu flicks and tell stories of the past and present. The kids will learn to know each other better and most will create bonds that reach beyond the club..
Equipment
KungFu T-Shirt, belt and Gi. (for beginners it is good enough to just wear long legged trainers and a white T-shirt). Protection gear like gloves and mouthgards are recommended for most students. Most gear can be optained in normal martial arts shops or online. A gi must be worn for the first graduation ceremoni. Ask the instructor if in doubt.
Price
The price is 349,-/month and minimum training period is 3 months
Introduction for new students every Tuesday at 17:00: Just come and join. We don't have much time to introduce each student individually, so we urge the kid to join and just do their best: Monkey See, Monkey Do. If the child decides to join our family we gladly welcome our new member of the Vesterbro Kung Fu
