Gradings, achievements and updates from the Tai Tsung community.
From the archive
Practical training guides sit alongside the complete Tai Tsung archive, helping new students understand Kung Fu and Sanda before their first class.
Tai Tsung beginners learn progressively through warm-ups, mobility, fundamental stances, hand and leg techniques, forms and controlled partner work. You do not need previous martial arts experience; the programme is designed to build coordination, fitness and confidence from your current level.
Classical Kung Fu develops technical foundations through forms, fixed sparring and free sparring. Sanda, also known as Chinese Kickboxing, puts more emphasis on practical movement, fitness and free-sparring skills. Students can ask the school which route best matches their experience and goals.
Arrive in comfortable training clothing, allow time to meet the instructor and explain any relevant experience or questions, and be ready to work at an appropriate pace. The live timetable shows current Sanda sessions and lets students book before travelling.
Highlights from the July 2022 grading were made available to Tai Tsung members through the programme area.
Students from beginner level through to five first-degree black sash candidates took part in the July grading. Performances included classical forms (Taolu), fixed work and free sparring (Sanda), with certificates presented to successful students.
Tai Tsung representative Kai Ward won gold at his first BCCMA competition, competing above his usual weight category. The result reflected the work of Kai and instructor and competition manager Sifu Nathan Bent.
Grading updates recognise students moving through the syllabus, from first compulsory techniques to advanced black-sash material.
Competition reports record the preparation, conduct and achievements of Tai Tsung’s Chinese Kickboxing representatives.
