Kung Fu is skill attained by hard work and effort, it is a way of life. Kung Fu is not for contest; it is more than punching and kicking.
Self-defense is a component, but Kung Fu is a thinking man’s art that aims to unlock a student’s true potential by training body, mind, and spirit.
At the Trinity Training Center, Kung Fu is not what we do, it’s how we LIVE!
Sigung means founder of the school.
Sifu means teacher/instructor/coach.
Hung Gar
Hung Gar (Southern Chinese style) originated in the Southern Shaolin Temple in southern China over 300 years ago. The name means “Hung Family Fist.” The most famous practice set in this style of Kung Fu is called “Tiger and Crane.” There are five animal styles within Hung Gar Kung Fu: tiger, leopard, crane, snake, and dragon. Southern-style Hung Gar Kung Fu works with all body types – big or small, tall or short, male or female.
Kuntao
A hybrid martial art with Chinese and Indonesian influences, Liu Seong Kuntao is sometimes known as “Chinese hand and Indonesian feet.” Its founder, Willem A. Reeders, was of mixed Dutch and Chinese heritage. Raised in Indonesia, he trained in a number of martial disciplines. His great-uncle, Liu Seong, taught him the family’s Kuntao close-range fighting system, but Reeders drew on many local Pencak Silat systems before developing his own version. Later, he took the art to the US, where it has become popular.
Combining principles of anatomy, psychology and physics, the system’s trademark is the rapid execution of multiple attacks at close quarters. Postures tend to protect most major vital areas and this protection is maintained at all times. This method is known as “closed body” movement. Weapons training is generally reserved for advanced practitioners, and yet it is an integral aspect of the art and is in keeping with Indonesian traditions, which often focus on being “blade-aware.”
