Chinese Boxing as a supplement to Kung Fu
Chinese Boxing is not a substitute for regular Kung Fu training, but rather a competitive, sport-oriented complement to it. Participation requires that you are already enrolled in one of our two primary styles: Hung Kuen Kung Fu or Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu. Students training in either of these core styles at the Academy may add Chinese Boxing to their regular training regimen. This creates an ideal synthesis of traditional Chinese martial arts and modern combat sports training.
Who is Chinese Boxing suitable for?
This training is designed for teenagers and adults aged 13 and older who wish to specifically develop their physical performance and combat skills. Whether you are looking to prepare for long-term Sanda competitions or simply want to learn how to apply your Kung Fu techniques under dynamic, realistic conditions, Chinese Boxing provides the ideal training environment. Prerequisite: Active training in Hung Kuen or Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu at the International Lau Family Kung Fu Academy.
Training time
Every Friday, 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Tradition meets athletic fighting spirit
Chinese martial arts have a centuries-old tradition. Chinese Boxing brings this tradition into a modern, sports-oriented training environment.
Chinese Boxing = Sanda/Sanshou
Tradition in motion. Martial arts in application.
Chinese boxing (Sanda or Sanshou) translates the principles of traditional Kung Fu into a dynamic, sport-oriented form of training.
Building upon the foundations of Hung Kuen and Choy Lay Fut, timing, a sense of distance, precision, power, speed, and endurance are further developed through rigorous pad work and sparring training.
It is not just about physical performance. It is about understanding one’s own technique while in motion and under pressure, maintaining control, and transforming learned techniques into genuine combat skills.
A combination of traditional martial arts and modern athletic training – for all those who want to wish not only to learn Kung Fu, but also to experience its dynamics.
Technique. Conditioning. Timing. Strength. Fighting spirit.
Conditions for participation
Participation is conditional upon attending one of our two main styles: Hung Kuen Kung Fu or Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu. Those who train in one of these two main styles at the Academy may add Chinese Boxing to their regular training.
