"Kung fu session was a motivating, informative and enjoyable workshop that got everyone up onto their feet and joining in an excellent learning experience that mixed physical activity with social studies and history"

"Glasgow Caledonian University recently hosted a demonstration of Tai Chi and Martial Arts performed by Kung Fu Fitness (KFF). This demonstration was part of a university festival of Chinese culture held during November 2008. We were thoroughly impressed by KFF skills, athleticism and knowledge. What was also noticeable was how much fun and self confidence could be gained from getting involved in the whole range of activities that Aldrich promotes. These include Bando Kick boxing, self-defence techniques and yoga with benefits covering stress release, weight loss and improving your strength, flexibility and stamina. If you want to see some great martial art performances then these guys are excellent at what they do and come highly recommended."

"Aldrich Sawbwa is a very good teacher, both thorough and patient, and with a good sense of humour. I really enjoy my sessions and can already see the practical benefits. I am very happy with my choice of Kung Fu Fitness to learn Bando, and i wouldn't change to another trainer."

"I have been training with Sawbwa for several months . I can honestly say that Sawbwa has a good balance between encouragement and really making me work hard but safely and within my limits. The results have been steady and good - and I have really enjoyed the diversity of training techniques he employs." - Gareth (aka- Dh. Nagaraja )

"I have been doing training with Sawbwa for several months and it just keeps getting better.With Sawbwa learning is easy and enjoyable.You go away from every lesson feeling like your getting somewhere and looking forward to the next one.With the training its not like one's i have been to in the past where your expected to learn everything straight away,its progressive and with Sawbwa being very patient and understanding it makes it easier to pick it up."

Phil Rock

"I have been attending Kung Fu Fitness classes for several months now and I have found the classes to be both varied and enjoyable. I came in order to improve my general fitness and to learn about some practical self-defence techniques, and I feel like the class has helped me to improve me within both of these areas within a relatively short period of time. I would recommend Kung Fu Fitness to anyone who has an interest in the martial arts, and who would like to combine this with fitness work and relaxation techniques including yoga and tai chi."

I had never done a martial art before I went to Kung Fu, so I really didn't know what to expect. I have found it both challenging and enjoyable, giving you all round body work. in addition I have found that learning the skills has improved my concentration and my confidence. if you want a new challenge, learn new skills and you want a break from the mundaity of the gym, I would definitely recommend it.

I've found Kung Fu fitness to be a great way to improve flexibility and balance, learn self defense techniques that really work and meet open minded, fun people who help you challenge yourself.

Joel


Kung Fu Fitness is a great way to get fit while learning traditional martial arts techniques. The classes are fun and keep you entertained.

Ben


The lessons with Sawbwa have been excellent. I mainly wanted a form of exercise and learned great work outs and stretching exercises. We've learned a load of moves too and Bando is a great, practical style. The classes have been fun and I've met lots of cool people. The environment has been relaxed and informal but serious enough to learn something useful and push me to improve. I've never been so flexible! Probably the best thing I can say is that after classes I've always felt great. However I felt when I started I always finished on a high and happy (and a little sweaty!). I've really enjoyed the introduction to martial arts but can't imagine any other lessons could be the same.

I have been practising martial arts for 6 years. I must admit, I though I was fit and flexible till I attended Kung Fu Fitness. After half an hour warming up, I was struggling to keep up with the rest. It was hard work but I learned so much in one month compare to one year I did in the past. If you serious about real combat techniques, I would strongly recommend you to have a go with Kung Fu Fitness.

I was really un-fit and work long office hours. Not fancy going to the Gym either. I have always wanted to learn martial arts and I came across Kung Fu Fitness on Gumtree, saying…Tailor made Kung Fu Fitness lesson…losing excess weight, increasing muscle mass, stress release, flexibility, improving stamina, and understanding of self-defence techniques. Wow…. That’s what I was looking for so I decided to give it a go. I have never done any martial art in my life so I was quite nervous. Luckily Shifu Sawbwa was really patient, explain every move,encourage and motivate me all the way. Shifu was right “No pain, no gain” Just after 4 months, not only I can see significant changes to my body shape, I also felt much happier than before.

Kelly


Kung Fu Fitness was absolutely brilliant. I have been practising all kind of martial arts for nearly 12 years and it wasn’t easy to come across a Shifu with real combat experience. Indeed, it was easy, efficient and effective to learn from Kung Fu Fitness.
