When translated, the Chinese term ‘gōngfū’ can be understood to mean ‘achievement cultivated through hard work’. The concepts that make our martial practice efficient and effective are universal and can be applied to any opportunity or challenge.
If you want to cultivate greater achievements in your professional practice or across a business then Hampshire Kung Fu can provide inspiring and ingenious training. We believe that growth is optimised when structure and softness are balanced.
We achieve a balance of structure and softness with a three part practice; Definite purpose defines outcome, strategy focuses progress whilst a range of tactics provide a fluid adaptability of action. Below is an example of this approach applied to fighting method.
Purpose
- Control the assailant
We begin with the end in mind. All actions must clearly contribute to fulfilling purpose.
Strategy
- Go forward
- Maintain structure
- Yield in the face of superior force
- Control centre
- Control weapons
- Control structure
- Control balance
- Control fighting sprit
- Control consciousness
Strategies direct and combine actions to best realise purpose; prioritised and deployed depending on context.
Tactics
- Use of movements and positions trained
Soft movement between actions creates a dynamic response, specific action accurately achieving specific end.
Every business and worker is different. However what they all have in common is that to be successful they need good structure and they need to move, like all thriving organisms.
Kung fu beautifully embodies good structure and movement. During your training you will learn the first lessons of the Chinese Wing Chun style, providing a naturally invigorating, clear and original way to meditate on working practice. Physical activity provides immediate feedback that is experienced first hand and is truly tangible. This makes our approach unique.
Thinking about each kung fu movement, concept and their equivalent in your business will help you reflect on your organisations structure and ability to move. What constitutes the base, the stance, of your business? How is information about markets or performance shared, aware of your self your surroundings? Do your long term plans, the core power of your business, make their way fully into the working practices, the punches of your operation?
Kung Fu training will inspire you to refine your professional purpose, strategy and tactics towards a practice of dynamic, balanced and sustainable success.
