Some info about Traditional Kung Fu classes:

The course is for all age groups, who train in separate lessons, adapted to the various stages of development. It is focused on Shaolin Kung Fu and includes other traditional styles, both Chinese and Japanese, the Qi Gong practice and the meditation.

Today it is essential to know the potential of our body and mind, and to learn how to manage emotions and stress from an early age. So my teaching system, the HASHI Method, integrates body training with tools to explore the mind and with techniques to control breath and perception, in order to restore the harmony of our biorhythms and to develop self-confidence and self-awareness.

NOTE: All courses will resume in the second week of September 2026, during which time you can try out the classes for free!
