Book a free trialYour first adult Kung-Fu group class is free. Ongoing fees are explained after the trial so you can decide without pressure.
Adult Kung-Fu at Deep South Kung-Fu & Taiji is built around the Chang Hong system, developed by Master Chen Qinghe of Taipei, Taiwan. Chang Hong comprises Northern Shaolin Long Fist and Hong Family Fist, giving students a balanced foundation in movement, structure, power and practical application.
Classes are physical, focused and progressive. You will train stance work, footwork, forms, striking, conditioning, weapons, throwing and locking methods. The aim is not just to copy movements, but to understand how traditional Kung-Fu develops the body, sharpens attention and builds useful martial skill over time.
Each class supports three core aims of traditional Kung-Fu:
Northern Shaolin Long Fist gives the class its open, dynamic movement. Training emphasises strong stances, coordinated footwork, kicking, agile transitions and full-body power.
Students work through barehand forms and classical weapons such as staff, sabre, straight sword and spear. Over time, the style develops timing, balance, athletic movement and clear body control.
Hong Family Fist brings a grounded Southern Kung-Fu influence to the training. It is direct, strong and practical, with an emphasis on stable stance work, close-range power and controlled technique.
The animal methods include tiger, crane, snake, leopard and dragon. These are not treated as performance ideas, but as training tools for developing structure, intent, coordination and application.
Build strength, stamina, flexibility and coordination through regular movement, stance work and conditioning.
Develop practical martial skills through forms, striking, timing, distance, control, throwing and locking methods.
Improve focus, discipline, patience and confidence through training that rewards consistency over shortcuts.
First group class free. Private tuition is arranged separately by appointment.

The class is disciplined and focused, but not intimidating. The aim is to help you understand the training, move safely and begin building a foundation you can return to week after week.
The best way to understand the training is to experience it. Book a free trial, ask about private tuition, or contact the school if you are unsure whether adult Kung-Fu is the right fit.
