Kung Fu Fitness kicks off on Isle of Dogs
Everybody could soon be kung fu fighting if an Isle of Dogs resident's martial arts classes take off.
Budding Bruce Lee's now have the chance to learn the martial arts at Kung Fu Fitness run in Burrell's Wharf by Aldrich Sawbwa.
Aldrich, 28, is keen for Wharfers to take it up the sport - whose best known exponent was 1970s film legend Lee - as a way of looking after themselves in more ways than one.
He said: "I want to help people get fit and learn practical self-defence at the same time. Kung fu is about both internal and external training. Outside it's the hands, the eyes and the body, but inside it's the heart, mind and spirit.
"Many people have an incorrect idea about kung fu. The philosophy is very simple, it's about making peace, not fighting. But what is important is you can apply the self-defence techniques very quickly.
"To perfect your kung fu you need to follow three steps - form, power and speed. It can be tough but I tell students there's no gain without pain, and most feel the benefit very quickly.
"The benefits are many, including improved self-esteem, better focus at work and at home, self-discipline, as well as self-defence.
"There are many stages to go through, and even when you reach the top level you can never stop improving."
He said: "What we offer here is different from anywhere else because we do a combination of kung fu and bando kick boxing. Bando is the Burmese form of kick boxing. Everyone knows about Thai boxing but this is even better. It uses the kukri knife, a traditional Burmese weapon, and is more aggressive."
If that sounds a bit too violent for some tastes then Kung Fu Fitness also offers more restrained martial arts including tai chi and yoga. Aldrich said: "We can tailor everything to individual requirements. It all depends on what someone wants to achieve, whether that's losing excess weight, increasing muscle, stress release or improving flexibility."
Tai chi classes take place at Burrell's Wharf in Westferry Road on Wednesdays, with the self-defence and kung fu at Docklands Settlements on Saturdays. Aldrich is also willing to arrange classes for businesses in Canary Wharf.
He said: "There are great benefits of learning martial arts for company employees. It can help improve concentration and fitness and lead to greater productivity, which is so important these days."

Self Defence
Do you want to learn self defence that really works and easy to learn? If you can do it in class you can do it in real life too.
Learn practical self defence, how to release from choking, grappling, street fights, knife defence techniques, but delivers it in a manner to improve cardiovascular and muscular conditioning as well as developing mental awareness, self-esteem, discipline and confidence.
Kung Fu Fitness self defence techniques are based on individual flexibility with 3Es' in mind (Easy, Efficient, Effective), thus everyone can defence from attacks.
Tai Chi
The practices that are known as Tai chi (or Taiji) evolved in China as a form of internal martial art. In the west today they may be practised either as a martial art, or as a way of maintaining physical coordination & flexibility as well as internal health. Both approaches have significant and well-researched health benefits even at an introductory level. You will learn traditional Tai Chi forms and moving meditation (breathing techniques combine with forms), as well as how to put those forms into practical self defence techniques. In addition, you also learn history and philosophy of chinese martial arts and learn to speak a wee bit of mandarin.
p.s This workshop is suitable for all levels.

Art of Speaking & Sparring
Speaking is like Sparring because you apply different techniques based on attacks and defences and you don't know what will come next, just like speaking your conversation is based on questions and answers. If you give the wrong answers or questions, you might upset or hurt the other person. You should know when to stop in speaking same in sparring, if you don't know what techniques to apply you might hurt yourself or others, without control in speaking or sparring both will get hurt in the end!
We are what we eat!
It is about building strong foundations a house is built on strong foundations to remain structurally sound for many years. By comparison an Athlete or fighter must also build a strong nutritional foundation and muscular fitness, strength and performance will follow.
Remember that to have a healthy diet, most people should be eating:- plenty of fruit and veg
- plenty of starchy foods such as rice, bread, pasta (try to choose wholegrain varieties when you can) and potatoes
- some protein-rich foods such as meat, fish, eggs and pulses
- some milk and dairy foods
- just a small amount of foods high in fat, salt and sugar
