The classes listed are trial lessons hosted independently by Schools of Kung Fu Croydon.
"My son has been a regular student at Kung Fu Schools Croydon. Sifu Alan and the team have similar values to my family and I we're all about respectful behaviour, dedication and hard work. I think the School is a perfect addition to a child's mental and physical growth and wellbeing. Thank you for bringing this new style of learning to Croydon!"
DJ Shortee Blitz
"I have found Kung Fu Schools to be a friendly place with knowledgeable instructors. There's a well structured syllabus so you are never lost or overwhelmed. My sons also attend and I have found their positive reward systems outside of Kung Fu Schools to be helpful in motivating them. Kung Fu has certainly helped their co-ordination and behaviour."
Alan Lam
"I started training at the Kung Fu Schools when I was 16. I was only looking for a pastime but now Wing Chun has become my life, and I wouldn't change a thing! My passing interest soon grew into a burning passion, coming to the school has changed everything for me!"
Charlie Fox
"It's the people that give Kung Fu Schools Croydon it's 5* rating. That includes the expert instructors as well as the other students, who are always generous in giving help when needed. Everyone is also very friendly which makes it a great place to train, keep fit, build your confidence and learn self-defence. That's a winning combination."
G.O.
"I have been bringing both my children to your school for nearly a couple of years now. I have found a marked improvement in their confidence directly as a result of your weekly training. The classes are run in a very well structured and supportive way always encouraging to bring out the best in the children."
Mr Patel
"My son has just recently achieved his Red belt, he has an Autistic Spectrum Disorder and ADHD, making his achievement so much more special as I never would have believed this to be possible. The reason I think that he's been able to obtain this accolade is due to the never ending hard work of Si Fu Alan and his team of fantastic staff."
Ms Johnston
"A very energetic and fun packed morning that delivered useful contact self-defence in a pragmatic manner"
