“No matter what name you give to a sword, a blade serves but one purpose – to vanquish your opponent”
No matter what name you call your martial discipline, Karate, Kung-fu, Jiu-jitsu, Aikido, Judo etc…all martial arts serve a single purpose, to defend yourself and your love ones.
Similar to the way in which a flowing body of water adapts to obstacles in its path. Running Fist Kung Fu teaches the practitioner that each technique should continuously give rise to another technique without hesitation; the tempo and flow of these techniques should rapidly increases in speed.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

This approach ensures that a student can easily adapt to the variables of a given situation. Similar to the way in which a flowing body of water adapts and overcomes obstacles in its path. Running Fist Kung-Fu teaches the practitioner that each defensive and offensive technique should gives birth to another. This will increase the practitioner’s speed; It will give the practitioner multiple ways to manipulate the opponent’s defense and increase the ability to land combination strikes against the opponent. For example: When a drop of water is followed by another drop it has the potential to become a steady stream of water.
