Le Kung Fu (Gong Fu ou Wu shu)
Kung Fu, of Chinese origin, means Traditional Martial Art (In truth it is a little more complex than that, but hey, let's keep it simple...). It is at the origin of all modern martial arts such as Karate, Judo, Jujitsu.... It is practiced today by millions of people of different races, cultures and ages.
Martial Arts are conducive to an awareness of body schema , they develop complete physical possibilities, balancing laterality and verticality, an interesting concept in our fundamentally cerebral and unilateral societies... Learning is structured around forms. They are a succession of movements, sequences of techniques with bare hands or with weapons (sword, stick, sabre, spear...) which are applicable in defense.
This discipline is inseparable from the spirit of Kung Fu, synonymous with sharing, respect for discipline, a taste for work and surpassing oneself; on the other hand, it voluntarily dismisses the spirit of competition, the motivation which consists in "being better than the other"... Indeed, Kung Fu is above all the art of cultivating longevity. It not only consists in knowing how to react in case of aggression but its effects are also beneficial for health.
Kung Fu, in close relationship with nature, is often developed from the observation of animals such as the tiger, leopard, crane, the dragon, the serpent; the founders have often demonstrated a perfect sense of mimicry. There are also concepts from Taoist philosophy such as the 5 elements, yin and yang...You will discover here the styles we practice.
Reminder of information: Know that the monastery of Shaolin and Wudang are not traditional schools but intended for tourism. (see the report on sifumag.com), just as there is no rank (belts) in traditional Kung fu (nor Dan, duan or other). -

Tang Lang
Style of the praying mantis, an insect with forearm movements and quick and powerful movements.
.
The system overwhelms opponents with attacks as fast as they are precise, with dislocations, lock picks and slaps.
With a formidable efficiency, it is an offensive and disconcerting style where each movement is millimetered. Fabien Latouille learned this style in China during the courses he organized in Master Liu's school with a friend of the latter (see eagle). Trained by Li and a great friend of Master Liu, Li deyu who was a Sanda instructor of the Criminal Police Academy of China

Master Liu Hong has made his reputation thanks to competitions and especially to the many films in which (actor or choreographer).
This branch is recognizable by the typical postures (now adopted in the other branches). Fabien Latouille learned for 15 years from the master and organizes internships in France and abroad. Each year Fabien and Saline return to China to visit.

self défense/ Perle et Dragons
Perle et Dragons Kung Fu was created by Fabien Latouille. It is a compilation of several styles and 35 years of experience with the principle of working more on instinct than following a traditional lineage often unsuitable for people today.
The spiritual research of new practitioners today being different, rather than making inaccessible (and often built on very fragile foundations) Fabien with Perle and Dragons Kung Fu makes it possible to make a bridge between tradition and the modern world.
"It is useless to learn and force forms not to use them, it confuses our brains more which has no interest.
The modern world having decided to make people less patient and more in a hurry , hence the creations of small forms of tai chi etc... my research of 35 years of experience led me to the creation of this style."
Students' research is mostly more about spectacular (modern) or efficiency, this last option that Fabien prefers by far is the very basis of this style that can be mastered in just 3 years.
It is obvious that for the purists, it is necessary to prefer the traditional styles.
Traditional weapons and forms are not taught there. The short stick, chain, knife... We teach self-defense for security guards, security guards etc...to find out more visitez le site ici -
