Over the past seven years we have entered
into competition at National, International and World
levels. Our team of coaches are trained to Governing
Body standard and most are also qualified judges/referees.
Most of our competitors enter into at least two of the
following disciplines.
|
| |
Qingda
Semi-contact sparring performed on an 8x8m matted area.
Accumulation of points is by kicking and punching the
opponent - using no more than 10% of your power. Points
are also scored by either taking your opponent to the
floor or pushing him/her out of the area. Bouts are 3
two minute rounds. |

| |
Sanshou
A full-contact version of Qingda - Sanshou competition
is performed on a raised platform or Lei Tai (very much
like a boxing ring but without the ropes). Our Sanshou
athletes are trained to a very high standard of physical
fitness. Bouts are 3 two minute rounds. |

Tui Shou (Push Hands)
Competitors test out the effectiveness of the T'ai Chi
principle elements within a 6m circle. Combining the elements
of Peng, Lu, Chi, An, Ts'ai, Lieh, Chou and K'ao athletes
try to out-manoeuvre one another scoring points by forcing
their opponent out of the area or by making them lose
balance. |

Shuai Chiao
This is a form of Chinese Wrestling combining the techniques
of Tui Shou (above) with throws and take-downs. Performed
on an 8x8m matted area scores are gained when your opponent
has at least 3 limbs on the floor or is forced out of
the area. Contests are a duration of 3 two minutes with
a 30 second break in between. |
