Introduction
|
The Chinese Kuoshu Institute (CKI) is a non-political, non-profit making and
voluntary organisation. The CKI was formally constituted in the United Kingdom in
1990,
as an organisation to promote Chinese Martial Arts and Culture with a
particular interest in the practice of Chinese Kuoshu (National Arts) traditional Chinese martial arts,
known as: Kuoshu; Traditional Wushu; and more popularly known as Kung Fu.
Although self-governing, the CKI is a member of: the British Council for Chinese Martial Arts (BCCMA); the European Chinese
Kuoshu Federation (ECKF); the European Kuoshu
Federation (TEKSF); the United Kingdom Kuo Shu Federation (UKKSF); and the World Kuoshu Federation (TWKSF).
Working in partnership with other traditional Chinese martial arts groups in
the United
Kingdom, the CKI is responsible for putting students forward for selection
to both: the British Kuoshu (National Chinese Martial Arts) Team, in
association with the British Chinese Kuoshu Federation (BCKF) and the United
Kingdom Kuo Shu Federation (UKKSF); and the British Shuai
Jiao (Chinese Wrestling) Team, in association with the British Shuai Jiao
Union (BSJU) Candidates for the teams are therefore required to go
though a selection process if they want to join the national team training
sessions. Successful candidates, as students, will have the opportunity to: train alongside both national and international champions;
learn from Masters with World-renowned reputations in Tien Shan Pai, Bao Ding
Shuai Jiao, and Chen Pan Ling Taiji Quan who will instruct you in the practice of Chinese martial arts.
Although the CKI has a reputation for
excellence and working with the elite of Chinese martial arts, the CKI also
maintains a foundation to excellence policy and is responsible for the One
Community Project, based in Luton, Bedfordshire. The One Community Project
was developed to help young people from disadvantaged and/or disaffected
backgrounds to realise and achieve their potential through the medium of
Chinese martial arts.
Students will
attain qualifications in Chinese martial arts that are recognised by the appropriate International governing bodies
and valid Worldwide. The training regime will include the practical application of the skills
acquired during the lessons. Depending on the style being studied, students may emphasise certain
aspects of the key elements: Da, Shuai, Na, Dien and Duan. Self-defence simulation such as two-person
choreographed sequences will enable the student to take part in contact training. Tao Lu (Forms) training,
including the use of weapons, will also allow the student to develop co-ordination and sparring tactics.
There are also internal and external body training methods to condition the body
in line with martial arts training demands.
In the intermediate to advanced stages of training, student will commence sparring practice:
semi contact initially and then full-contact sparring, if desired and when
ready.
