OUR SCHOOL

The founder of the Chuan Fa Hung Choy Pai was Holger Willems. He started martial arts in 1970 with Judo, Aikido and Karate. After some years he started with Kung Fu. He acquired his training in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and USA by several masters ( Bradwolf, Buck Sam Kong, Baklayan, Shen Hung Xun, Kong Mien Ho, J. Pommier ). He mainly focused on the Shaolin Hung Gar and Choy Lee Fut styles. They are southern Chinese styles. He also followed lessons in Chi Kung and Taiji Quan.

THE SALUTATION.
The lessons start and end with a bow and a salute. The bowing is an expression of thanks to all the teachers and forefathers whose hard work and creativity have contributed to our martial arts. The salutation is a sign of respect meant for those who are saluted.

Training exists of warming-up, stretching, condition-, strength exercises, handforms, and -techniques, kicking, semi-contact fights, training with pad's, self-defense and practicing with Chinese weapons.

The necessary preparation for intensive training is the warming-up phase. These exercises prepare the body for a heavy exertion. Without warming-up, you could be injured. After the warming-up, the training can go on with stretching exercises. Stretched muscles are more mobile. Through the flexibility of the muscles, the body can suffer the exertion better, and the next phases of the training can be done much more efficiently. Strength exercises are meant to develop muscle groups, which are important for doing specific techniques.

In our school we are trained in three different groups :
Group I ....: beginners
Group II ...: from fourth Tuan
Group III ..: from seventh Tuan
