Kampfkunstgruppe Smiling Dragon Gelterkinden

The Smiling Dragon Gelterkinden martial arts group is an association dedicated to the practice and teaching of traditional Chinese martial arts. We cultivate the traditions of ancient Chinese martial arts, which are collectively known as Kung Fu. Our training encompasses various styles, both northern and southern. Specifically, we offer Luohan Quan, Wu Ji Quan, and Ngo Cho Kun. Luohan Quan is a fast and dynamic northern Kung Fu style. Wu Ji Quan is a very old, soft martial art with slow, gentle movements that have a beneficial effect. Ngo Cho Kun is a comprehensive southern Chinese system with fast hand forms, partner drills, and weapon forms. In addition to hand forms, training includes partner exercises and sparring. We explain the application of techniques for self-defense in controlled exercises. Advanced members can also participate in special self-defense workshops. Furthermore, training with traditional Chinese weapons such as the staff, sword, saber, and spear is offered. The training includes basic exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and posture, as well as form training to solidify movement sequences. The club values ​​a friendly and supportive atmosphere. Joining is possible at almost any age; prior experience or special fitness is not required. Physical limitations are taken into consideration. Several times a year, special additional training sessions and events are held, including an annual training camp with our master from Australia.
