🥋 TWO HOURS. LOTS OF KUNG FU.

Our next Kung Fu Kids Seminar & Grading is coming up on Saturday 24th October, and spaces are already being booked!

We always want our students to understand is that grading isn't based on what we see on one day. We assess every child continually in their normal weekly classes, their technique, effort, attitude, understanding and progress.

The seminar gives us something extra.

Once we know who is booked in, we can spend two whole hours working with those students, looking more closely at their training, making those important little corrections and helping them gain a better understanding of the skills they're learning.

They'll also get to train alongside Kung Fu Kids they might not usually see, work with different partners and, of course, we always squeeze some fun in there too!

New beginners are welcome as well! Our seminars are open to ALL Shi Kon Kung Fu Kids members.

📅 Saturday 24th October
⏰ 11.30am – 1.30pm
💷 £15.00
🥪 Bring a small packed lunch and drink
👥 Limited to just 20 children

Spaces are already going, so if your child would like to join us, book their place through the ClubLink app.

We can't wait to see you there!

Three brothers. Three different stages of their Kung Fu journey.

Alfie, Oscar and Freddie are three brothers I have the absolute pleasure of teaching here at Shi Kon.

At 12 years old, Alfie is currently a Brown Belt + 1 White Stripe and has grown so much during his time with us. Tomorrow marks another big step for him as he makes the transition from our Kids classes into the Adult classes and knowing Alfie, I have no doubt he’ll settle straight in and embrace the next stage of his training.

Then we have Oscar, aged 9 and a Purple Belt, who brings his own enthusiasm and personality to his training, and little Freddie, aged 8, who has recently joined his brothers on the mats and is just beginning his Kung Fu journey as a White Belt.

Although they are brothers, they are each on their own Kung Fu journey. They learn at their own pace, develop their own strengths and achieve their own milestones but they also get to share the experience together.

All three boys are enthusiastic, keen to learn and an absolute pleasure to teach.

One of the really special parts of teaching is getting to know whole families, not just the student who walks onto the mats. Mum is there supporting them, their little sister is often sitting at the side watching, and you feel like you become a small part of their family too.

We have lots of families who train with us, and that has always been a big part of what Shi Kon is about. You watch children grow up, see siblings follow one another onto the mats, celebrate their gradings and achievements, and see them develop from little beginners into confident young people.

Alfie, Oscar and Freddie aren't just three brothers who come to Kung Fu each week they're a big part of our Shi Kon family, and we're very proud to have them.

Good luck in the Adults tomorrow, Alfie! A new chapter begins. 🥋

A little preview from our latest YouTube video!

In this video, Mike and assistant Noah explore different corners, angles and points of trajectory, looking at how changing direction can weaken an opponent’s structure and how we can split their energy.

A simple principle with so much to explore within our Kung Fu.

Look at those smiles! 😊

My Hempstead Tai Chi group looking very happy after another great session.

Good movement, plenty of learning, lots of laughter and a brilliant group of people to train alongside. Tai Chi really does bring so much more than just the physical practice.

I think those smiles say it all!

December 2018 ➡️ September 2026

I’ve taught Olivia for 8 years and when you look at these two photos, you realise just how much of her life Kung Fu has been a part of.

Olivia first started training with Shi Kon back in 2018, in one of the after school Kung Fu clubs we used to run. She later made the move over to the dojo and she has excelled. What Olivia has shown consistently throughout those years is dedication to her training.

Over the years she’s had some pretty big setbacks, including a broken collar bone and knee surgery. There have been times when she physically couldn’t train, but that didn’t stop her turning up. She would come along, sit at the side and watch her class because she still wanted to learn and still wanted to be involved. That tells you a lot about her commitment.

She also made the transition from our kids classes into the adult class a few years back and settled in brilliantly. Now at 17, she trains alongside the adults with confidence, works hard and continues to develop into a really knowledgeable martial artist.

Olivia is kind, compassionate, hardworking and an absolute pleasure to teach. She genuinely loves her training, and as an instructor, you can’t ask for much more than that.

From that first grading in December 2018 to where she is today… I’m very proud of you, Olivia. Keep doing exactly what you’re doing. 👊

And apparently these then and now photos are becoming a regular reminder of just how much I’ve aged while all my students grow up around me! 😂

🌟👏🏻Well done, Olivia. Eight years of training and plenty more still to come.

Well, Emma certainly didn’t need any time to settle in!

Five year old Emma joined us for her very first Kung Fu lesson today at 4.30pm and came onto the mats full of confidence, excitement and plenty of energy.

There was no hanging back with this little one. She was ready to get involved, keen to see what we were doing next and happy to give everything a go. She listened well, followed the class brilliantly and really enjoy learning alongside the other children.

For me, that’s exactly what a first lesson at this age should feel like. Lots of movement, lots to learn, a little challenge here and there, and leaving with a big smile and feeling proud of what you’ve achieved.

Well done, Emma. A cracking first lesson and I’m looking forward to having all that energy back in the dojo again next week.

🥋If you have a child aged 4–7 years old who might like to experience Kung Fu for themselves, we have spaces for two free taster lessons on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 4.30pm.

Pop us a message and we’ll get their first lesson arranged.

What a fantastic Team Leader meeting yesterday! 🙌

We started with some fun twists on Rock, Paper, Scissors, followed by “Do What I Say, Say What I Say” and then made things even trickier by doing the opposite! A great way to get the brains working while practising concentration, coordination and communication.

We then had a really good in depth discussion about what makes a great Team Leader and role model, and together came up with our Top 5:

🥋 Voice – Be clear and confident.
🥋 Presentable – Look smart and be on time.
🥋 Practise – Keep working on your own forms and training so you can help others progress.
🥋 Engage – Move around, encourage and help every student.
🥋 Names – Learn and use students’ names so everyone feels noticed and included.

We also spent some time practising tying each other’s belts. Tying your own is one thing… trying to tie someone else’s properly is a completely different skill! 😂 This is especially useful when helping our younger students in the Infants classes, so it was great practice for everyone.

Our teen assistants still join these meetings too, and there’s a really good reason for that. They’ve been exactly where our younger Team Leaders are now, and they bring so much knowledge and experience to the group. It also gives the younger team a chance to see where their own training could take them in the next few years into the adult classes and progressing into assistant roles themselves.

We finished with a game of Tick Tock Boom because you’ve got to end with some fun!

Lots learnt, plenty to practise and another really positive session with a brilliant group of young people growing in confidence, responsibility and leadership.

A big thank you to all of our parents too for supporting them and giving them the opportunity to take on these roles, we really do appreciate it.

We were a Assistant and Team Leader down yesterday… Lennon and Phoebe, we missed you both! ❤️

Well done, Leaders. Keep learning, keep helping and most importantly, keep leading by example. 👏
