What is Dragon KungFu School?
A Self Defence for people that don’t like violence, but want to be able to defend themselves and their family. Dragon Kung-Fu (a derivative of Wing Chun) was developed by Nuns approximately 350 years ago in China. The style incorporates simple direct moves, which can be learned by people of all ages and fitness levels. Developed by a female - the style relies on mental alertness and physical sensitivity, rather than brute force. After a Few Months Training, the self-defence aspect becomes secondary to the challenge and enjoyment of learning a skilled art.
