About the art
What is Kung Fu?
Kung Fu is the everyday name for the martial arts of China, which include hundreds of styles. Northern styles such as Long Fist favour long, extended techniques and kicks, while southern styles work closer in from strong, low stances. Internal styles such as Tai Chi emphasise relaxation and whole-body movement.
Most schools teach forms (taolu), empty-handed and with weapons such as the staff, broadsword and spear, alongside applications and sparring. Many use coloured sashes to mark each student's level.

How we work with Kung Fu
Built for the way Kung Fu is taught
The Kung Fu technique library and a starter grading ladder are ready when you create your school, and you can change any of it to match your syllabus.
Forms from many styles
The forms list includes Changquan, Nanquan and Taijiquan routines and weapons forms such as the broadsword (Daoshu), ready to link to your grades.
A sash ladder to start from
Start from a ten-level sash ladder, then set the forms, techniques and time each level needs.
Hand, kick and weapon techniques
The library includes animal-style strikes such as Tiger Claw and Crane Beak, northern kicks, Wing Chun hand techniques and weapon work, with Chinese names.

Running the school
Everything else your school needs
Registers, gradings, payments and the student portal all use the same student record, so nothing has to be copied between spreadsheets.
Registers and attendance
Take the register on a phone or tablet in seconds and spot students who have stopped coming.
Grading readiness
Attendance, time in grade and assessments come together, so you can see who is ready for the next grading.
Memberships and payments
Set up memberships and take payments through Stripe, with a clear view of who has paid.
Classes and timetable
Recurring classes and one-off sessions in one timetable, with RSVP and check-in links for families and text messages for reminders and cancellations.
Student and parent portal
Students and parents see grades, upcoming classes, assigned training and what to work on next.
Lesson plans and training plans
Plan classes from the technique library, assess students and give each one training to practise at home.

Questions
Kung Fu schools often ask
Our style is not listed by name. Will it work?
Yes. The library covers techniques shared across many styles, and you can add your own forms and techniques as club techniques and build your syllabus around them.
Can we show Chinese names?
Yes. Choose Chinese and English, English only or Chinese only for the whole school.
Can we use our own syllabus and grades?
Yes. The starter ladder is only a starting point. Rename grades, change colours, add your own requirements and set the lessons and time each grade needs.
Can one club teach more than one martial art?
Yes. Choose a main martial art when you create your club and add others in the club settings. Each keeps its own technique library.
Can you move our students across from our current system?
Yes. Import students from a spreadsheet and check every row before it is saved, or send us your records and we will move them across for you free of charge.
How much does it cost?
Small clubs can use the Free plan with no card required. Paid plans add capacity and features as your club grows.
