I always say, 'Tharkappukkalai enbathu suvasathin ozhukkam' (Self-defense is the discipline of breathing). For us, it's about confidence, discipline, and standing tall. With 20+ years teaching, I've seen how training builds courage and changes lives. ### What Happens in Class We start every session with fitness routines - push-ups, stretching, body conditioning - to get everyone warmed up. After that, we jump into Kung Fu basics: stances, forms, pad work, and partner drills. I keep things direct. Expect shouts of 'One! Two! Next!' throughout the session. As you progress, we introduce Praying Mantis martial arts techniques, famous for their unique grabs and strikes. The atmosphere is strict but supportive – we work as a team. ### Who Can Join Classes fit all ages and skill levels. Martial arts for kids is a big part of what we do, and honestly, some of their natural talent blows my mind. Women's self-defense training is close to my heart; it's all about finding your power and building confidence. Adults, whether chasing fitness or a new skill, always find their spot here. ### Progress and Going Further We use a belt grading system, with ceremonies to mark your achievements - those moments are pure joy for both me and the students. For anyone wanting more, we offer weapons training (Bo Staff, swords, sticks) and competition prep. Some students have gone on to win state and national tournaments. This place is not just a class - it's a family. The focus is always on your growth, both in and out of the ring. ## Highlights Browse through Core Power Kung Fu Academy's best work. ### [Featured](https://mytribe.in/core_power_kung_fu_academy/martial-arts-self-defense-training/featured) - [Video: This is the energy of our group training.

Been around for 20 years, started out on Mamallapuram beach. Discipline runs in our blood – my brother’s a cop, I’m here coaching. This place is family, not just an academy. Watching students get their belts or win tournaments, pure joy. We do ‘Kootaanchoru’ (community meal), plant trees, keep it real. Martial arts for us? It’s about character, not just fighting. Shaping futures, facing fears, walking straight. That’s our vibe. ### My work - **Martial Arts & Kung Fu Training**: We teach Kung Fu, martial arts, and Bo Staff training for all ages. Classes are open to everyone. - **Self-Defense & Wellness**: Special self-defense classes for women and kids, plus fitness and wellness coaching. Courage and discipline matter here. - **Belt Grading & Tournaments**: Regular belt grading events, certificates, and national/state tournaments. We celebrate every win. - **Community & Character Building**: More than training – we host community meals, tree planting, and focus on building character for life. ## More services from Core Power Kung Fu Academy - [Fitness & Wellness Program](https://mytribe.in/core_power_kung_fu_academy/fitness-and-wellness-program) · ₹1,200-3,500 per month per person (estimate) ## Experts similar to Core Power Kung Fu Academy on mytribe - [Landscaping & Garden Infrastructure by Terrace Gardening](https://mytribe.in/chennai_terrace_gardening/landscaping-garden-infrastructure) · ₹80-180 per sqft (estimate) · Chennai Terrace Gardening - [Garden & Lawn Maintenance by Win Landscape](https://mytribe.in/winlandscape/garden-lawn-maintenance) · ₹2-8 per sq.ft per month (estimate) · Win Landscape - [Kung Fu Training by IMA-Inspiration Kung Fu](https://mytribe.in/imainspirationmysore/kung-fu-training) · ₹1,200-3,500 per month (estimate) · IMA Inspiration Mysore- Center for Kung Fu, Tai-Chi and Yoga - Mysore & Bangalore - [Self-Defense & Weapons Training by Ashoka Martial Arts Academy](https://mytribe.in/ashokmartialarts/self-defense-weapons-training) · ₹1,200-4,500 per student per month (estimate) · Ashoka Martial Arts Academy Karate Classes - [Self-Defense Training by National Martial Arts and Fitness Academy](https://mytribe.in/nationalmartialartsandfitness/self-defense-training) · ₹2,000-4,500 per month (group class) (estimate) · National Martial Arts and Fitness Academy ( NMFA - India ) - [Haircutting & Styling by Jagan Ethiraj](https://mytribe.in/jaganchopper/haircutting-styling) · ₹1,100-2,200 per session (estimate) · Chennai - [Wushu & Kung Fu Coaching by Kushi N](https://mytribe.in/shaolin__tigress/wushu-kung-fu-coaching) · ₹1,800-6,000 per month per student (estimate) · Shaolin Wushu Cultural Center - [Combat Fitness & Conditioning by Combatant Muay Thai Academy](https://mytribe.in/combatant_muaythai_academy/combat-fitness-conditioning) · ₹2,000-6,000 per month (estimate) · Combatant Muay Thai academy - [Outdoor Space Design & Build by Rosemary Habitat](https://mytribe.in/ rosemary_habitat/outdoor-space-design-build) · ₹1,000-3,000 per sq.ft (estimate) · Chennai - [Martial Arts Training by XMF Martial Arts](https://mytribe.in/farhanxmf_01/martial-arts-training) · ₹1,500-3,500 per month per student (group class) (estimate) · Tavarekere Park - [Terrace & Balcony Garden Setup by Mano Landscape & Gardening](https://mytribe.in/mano.landscape/terrace-balcony-garden-setup) · ₹8-80K per setup (estimate) · MANO ORGANIC LANDSCAPE AND GARDENING SERVICES PVT LTD ## Book To book Core Power Kung Fu Academy, message mytribe on WhatsApp: [Chat on WhatsApp](https://wa.me/916360004054?text=Hi%2C%20I'm%20looking%20for%20Martial%20Arts%20%26%20Self-Defense%20Training%20by%20Core%20Power%20Kung%20Fu%20Academy.)
