Junior/Adult Kung Fu in Market Harborough
Train traditional southern Chinese Kung Fu at East Midlands Kung Fu, just outside Market Harborough and Desborough.
Our adult classes are open to everyone aged 12+, from complete beginners to experienced martial artists. There is no upper age limit and you don’t need to be fit, flexible or have any previous experience to start.
Traditional Kung Fu. Modern Training.
Kung Fu is a traditional Chinese martial art that develops strength, speed, coordination, discipline and control.
Our training stays true to traditional Kung Fu while bringing in other elements to create well-rounded martial artists. You may also experience Long Fist forms, Ba Duan Jin, sparring and dedicated fitness and mobility work.
There is always something new to learn, improve or master.
What Happens in a Kung Fu Class?
No two classes are exactly the same.
Training can include warm-ups, stretching and mobility, partner drills, bag work, traditional walks, kicks, hand techniques, blocks and Kung Fu forms. As you progress, you’ll develop your skills and begin exploring more advanced techniques, sparring and sticking hands.
You’ll work hard, but you’ll train at a level that’s right for you.
More Than Just a Workout
Kung Fu trains your body, but that’s only part of it.
Regular training can help improve fitness, strength, mobility, balance and coordination. It also gives you time away from everyday pressures, something to focus on and a real sense of progression.
For many of our students, Kung Fu becomes as important for their mental wellbeing as their physical fitness.
Your Progress. Your Pace.
We use a traditional sash grading system, giving you clear goals as your Kung Fu develops.
But there’s no stopwatch running. Everyone learns differently and progresses at their own pace. A sash is earned when you’re ready for it, not because you’ve been training for a set number of months.
The goal isn’t to collect sashes. It’s to keep getting better.
Kung Fu for Everyone
We believe martial arts should be accessible.
Our Adult Kung Fu classes welcome people of different ages, abilities and backgrounds, including disabled and neurodivergent students. Our instructors can adapt training where needed to help you take part and progress.

Meet Your Instructors
Adult Kung Fu is led by Chief Instructor Mike, supported by Andrew, who brings around 15 years of Kung Fu experience to the club.
Andrew teaches two weekly classes, including beginner training and advanced sparring and sticking hands. Together, they offer a combination of traditional Kung Fu knowledge, practical training and individual coaching.
Kung Fu as a Beginner
Never thrown a punch? Can’t touch your toes? Haven’t exercised for years?
Good.
You don’t need to get fit before starting Kung Fu. You don’t need to know the terminology and nobody expects you to keep up with experienced students.
New students can try EMKF with a free trial, plus 10% off when you join.
