At the Harrisburg Kung Fu Center, we like all prospective students to first try an introductory class as an opportunity for you to experience what a class is like. The introductory class is offered Fridays from 5pm till 5:45pm.
In the introductory class you will get basic instruction on punching, blocking, stances, exercise—a little bit of everything we do in a regular class. You'll get a feel for the structure of class and help you decide whether you really want to train Kung Fu. It will also provide you with a base of information to make you more comfortable when you enter the beginner's class.
Beginner's classes are offered 7 times per week: three times per week during the day around noon, and four times a week in the evening from 6pm until 7pm. Students in beginner's classes may have one week or several months of training in, but they are all working on the same thing: their first stage of training. The first stage will develop a base or foundation in which you'll learn all your basic punches, blocks, kicks, and stances. We will strengthen and stretch your body and condition your hands and feet so they get accustomed to striking. We will also work breathing exercises to strengthen your body internally, so that it will respond better to the external strengthening and conditioning that you will do. The beginner's class is strictly for ages 12 and up. In this way students won't be in a class surrounded by children. We have separate classes for children, since they need to be taught a little bit differently.
Above and beyond classes, we offer free time. Free time is anytime that the school is open when you're not in class. This is time when you can get extra coaching or catch up on material you may have missed. Also, there are heavy bags, free weights, and other training apparatus available for your use.
