Kungfu Series
Learn the basics of Kungfu to more advanced phrases and combinations with Shifu Lindsey Wei
This 8 week live online course will cover the basics of Kungfu. From stretching, stances, kicks, strikes, traditional strength and body conditioning, to more advanced phrases and combinations we will build the foundation for all of your forms such as taichi, bagua, and weapons.
Wednesdays at 9am Pacific
Oct 28 - Dec 16, 2026
Each week will include one hour long live class session with instruction by Shifu Lindsey Wei. Additionally, there will be a pre-recorded workout video to follow along to for the rest of the week. The workout video will be a fast paced routine with the movements learned in class that generally follows a 1 minute set with 15 seconds rest format.
The class and the workout will be at an intermediate level of difficulty, but it will offer beginner and longevity oriented regressions or modifications, while also laying out progressions or goals for the more advanced level student who wants to add repetitions or weighted challenges throughout the class or in the future.
Anyone interested in kungfu, people of all ages and levels can start here! Highly recommended to my long term students as a foundational class.
