Kung Fu<\/strong> 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.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kuntao<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A hybrid martial art with Chinese and Indonesian influences, Liu Seong Kuntao<\/strong> is sometimes known as \u201cChinese hand and Indonesian feet.\u201d 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combining principles of anatomy, psychology \nand physics, the system\u2019s trademark is the rapid execution of multiple \nattacks at close quarters. Postures tend to protect most major vital \nareas and this protection is maintained at all times. This method is \nknown as \u201cclosed body\u201d movement. Weapons training is generally reserved \nfor advanced practitioners, and yet it is an integral aspect of the art \nand is in keeping with Indonesian traditions, which often focus on being\n \u201cblade-aware.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
