Kung-fu needs you

Do you think that all Martial Artists are weird psychopaths Do you think Martial Arts is only practied by strong, fast, supple males? How wrong you are!

Our style of Chinese Martial Art combines traditional and contemporary training techniques from the South (Nam) and North (Pai) of China. Fitness, flexibility, sharpness of reaction, training and self-defence is taught by sincere and highly qualified instructors with integrity, humility and pragmatism.

We are celebrating the launch of our brand new web page at http://www.su.ic.ac.uk/clubsocs/shaolinkungfu/index.html. It’s full of detailed information about our particular form of Kung Fu, and lots of relevant links to sites.

If you would like to participate in or observe our sessions, you are welcome to join in on Wednesdays or Fridays 7-9pm. at Southside Gym. Your first lesson is free!

White Nights

Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s short novella revolving around loneliness, unrequited love,  and dreams still resonates with our society today.  The nameless narrator of White Nights, a lonely young man, meets Nastenka, a young woman with whom he forms a strong relationship,  yet  they  promise to  keep it friendly rather than romantic.
