Fanchento

Fanchento is a non-classical form of kung fu, heavily influenced by the principles of Jeet Kune Do. It attempts to move away from the restrictive limitations of classical style and tradition, being more fluid and adaptive. It bears some similarities to wrestling, kickboxing, Judo, Aikido and Tai Chi Chuan.

Fanchento classes incorporate elements of philosophy and uses techniques similar to those of Yoga. The training regimen is based on the idea that a state of simplicity, calm and self-mastery is the key to success, and that the execution of a should be instinctive and natural.
