Join us for an authentic and intense Tiger Mantis Kung Fu self-defense class at our community hall located at 8 Gundry Street, Newton, Auckland. This class is perfect for anyone aged 16 and above who wants to learn the ancient Chinese art of self-defense and unlock their inner warrior. Come and give it a go, the first class is FREE!

Our style, Tiger Mantis Kung Fu, is a powerful and aggressive martial art that combines the Southern Tiger (Wah family) and Southern Praying Mantis (Chou family) styles of Kung Fu, merged together by our esteemed Sifu Alastair Bourne. With centuries of refinement, our training techniques are designed for close-range combat, making it a highly effective self-defense system.

In this class, beginners are welcome! You will learn the fundamentals of Tiger Mantis Kung Fu, including 21 fighting forms that cover the Tiger, Crane, Leopard, Snake, and Dragon animal forms, as well as weapon forms such as Pole, Chinese Broadsword, Double Daggers, Double Sticks, and Double Chinese Broadsword. You will also learn throws, immobilizing techniques, rolls, groundwork, and Ch'i Kung, which is the development of internal energy.

Our instructors are accredited and experienced, including Sifu Jon Winthrop (6th Degree), Sifu Croydon Putu (6th Degree), and Owen Thomas (2nd Degree), who will guide you in mastering the techniques and applications of Tiger Mantis Kung Fu.

In addition to learning the physical aspects of self-defense, our classes also emphasize the key principles of Chinese self-defense, including awareness, avoidance, and de-escalation. We believe in preparing you for worst-case scenarios, when physical confrontation is unavoidable, and teaching you how to effectively defend yourself against various types of attacks with confidence.

Our comprehensive self-defense curriculum is designed to equip you with the skills and knowledge needed to protect yourself and stay safe in any situation.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn Tiger Mantis Kung Fu and unlock your inner warrior!
