Kung Fu Schools Organisation Becomes a Classroom for Learning

In January this year the Kung Fu Schools (as an organisation) was officially awared the position as a classroom for learning as part of the Confucius Institute for Chinese Traditional Medinicine and Well Being.  Working and funded by the Chinese government, the Confucius Institute work to promote Chinese culture, language and well being through a variety of workshops up and down schools throughout the country.

As partners of the NHS run "Change 4 Life" the Confucius Institute and now our Kung Fu School look forward to helping adults and children incorporate martial arts and other healthy activities into their daily lifestyle.

To celebrate the event (which co-incidentally was around the time of the Chinese New Year) we had a troupe of performers from Hariban, China to perform at our martial arts schools and run workshops.

A fun filled day for all - we even had a guest appearance from Crawley Mayor - Councillor Brenda Burgess.
