The UCC Wushu Club is a relatively new Club to UCC, it was founded in January 2006.

What is Wushu?

Wushu is Chinese Martial Arts of all kinds, with a common link in a strong emphasis on the basics.

Wushu ranges from fast-paced acrobatic styles like Chang Quan (Jet Li's main style of Martial Arts) to slow very much to the ground styles like Taiji Quan (you've probably heard of it as Tai Chi).

For more of your questions answered check out the FAQ Section.

Still not sure. How about a Sampler?

Here's a video of Instructor Liu doing a a few Chang Quan moves just as a taste of what goes on in the club (who knows maybe someday the rest of us will get this move), just click on the screen below to see the clip.

If you like the video above why not check out our Videos Section for some more Wushu moves?

The Class

It's free for UCC students to attend Wushu Club classes. It's advised that you wear a loose tracksuit bottoms and a t-shirt to training.

For the latest news on the goings on of the Club or if you just want to chat with the other Wushu people in UCC check out our Forum.

Forgotten Stuff since the last time you were Training?

It's damn annoying when you get something perfect in classs, go home to practice it only to find out that you can't remember it.

So for all you Wushu People in UCC I've put up step-by-step guides of all the Basic Kicks with accompaning videos. I've also put up a section on the 5 Stances. Just go and check out the Training Section, it kicks ass!

You can also see most of our routines Syllabus there, along with some history on the different styles.

I've put some video tutortials to the intial routines (5 Stance and Basic Training etc.). I'm working on getting more and more up and running.

Lessons Outside of UCC

If you are interested in training in the Cork City area and don't mind paying for classes, then it may be useful to know that our Instructor does teach classes outside of the college which are open to all (as opposed to the college classes which are only for UCC students).

The class times and locations of these classes are subject to change by Instructor Liu so the best thing to do would be to ring him on: 0876566436. In these classes he teaches Wushu and Taiji (Tai Chi) to both Children and Adults.
