Instructions

1. Contact your local martial arts academy for lesson information. Classes are usually divided by skill level and sometimes by age group, as to allow for appropriate partnering. Visit Get Into Martial Arts website for a school directory organized by state.

2. Surf the web for Kung Fu video downloads. Videos by Wing Lam are great, as he is well practiced in all areas of Kung Fu and has videos in each area. Look for titles like Iron Body Master's Kit, which goes through many moves and focuses on using Kung Fu to body build.
