We trained the Adults on a Monday evening at 8:15 pm to 9:45 pm. The children trained on Saturday mornings 10:45 am to 12:15 noon. New students join in wherever we are in our training.
Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu is an excellent system for building, speed, strength, conditioning, locking, throwing, pressure points , weapons and some tumbling skills.

My son has been attendung over a year now and he really enjoys it, Sifu Bryan's style of teaching has been a massive bonus to my sons focus and attention, I'm happy I found this class and its leaving a postitive impression on my son as well as me too. Sifu Bryan is very patient with the children makes sure they fully understand what they're doing and gives them something to think about as they learn Kung Fu, we really appreciate the progress made with attending Northern Praying Mantis.Thank you Sifu Bryan More...

Sifu Bryan Barns, is a divine being having a human experience. He is amongst a handful of people who picked me off of the floor when I was at my lowest. Learning and being taught Northern Praying Mantis, by Sifu Bryan, instilled in me reasonable hope and confidence. As well as taking me to the big screens, where I am now using my skills and talents. I am forever GRATEFUL and WILL ALWAYS RECOMMEND. Thank you Sifu Bryan.TcA mAni More...

My daughter Ellen absolutely loves the junior class. She's tried lots of classes and says Sifu Brian is the best. It's also been very good for her focus, coordination and balance. An absolute top session!

My son has been attending Northern Praying Mantis for the past three years. The approach taken is one of self control and self defence. This is a more holistic approach which is not driven by taking grades and exams but more focussed on improving the individual child according to their own needs. The classes are small so lots of 1:1 coaching of techniques with the occasional tournament thrown in. All in all a great experience. More...

I am Bryan’s older sister - we learnt this original Kung Fu style at the same time but as it goes I gave up as my passion was not as dedicated unlike my brother! My brother has not given up a day since he started and has developed his skill to where it is now winning competitions and maturing his style to become a well respected teacher to running his own school passing on his knowledge and passion to his students! His dedication and passion is like no other - he truly loves what he does and lives to teach! More...

Hi, I am Roland. It's almost one year that I joined kung-fu praying mantis school with sifu Bryan. I have to say that I am really glad that I joined kung-fu praying mantis. Apart of techniques and power, you learn to be more self confident , to control your emotions, and your body. Doesn't matter if you are older edge or young, girl or boy. More...

Where do I begin... started training over 16 years ago with Sifu Bryan in his class, with the many traits of focus and discipline that these classes taught me it also enabled me to grow with self confidence in my own area of expertise. .. the classes and especially the teacher always knew best whether it was how to master a technique or how to best rest an injury or even handling difficult situations.... would highly recommend these lessons to everyone as you would all learn and enjoy the experiences.

The classes are very good and my children are learning a lot about self defence and self-displine. I recommend that you watch his youtube videos as they are very helpful for learning kung fu. His YouTube channel is Kung611.

I found Sifu Bryan when I was in need of self assurance. Mantis Kung fu, adapted to my personal circumstances, gave me the courage to be ready for everything without being scared in a non violent way. I have to thank him for the strength he made me find inside myself. I do not look down when some people try to threat or bully me anymore. More...

Sifu Bryan is a great guy and has been a fantastic teacher to my son over the last two years, greatly improving his confidence and self discipline, and he absolutely loves the classes. In fact, it's the first sporting activity he's really stuck at. He is getting good at Kung Fu too! Highly recommended. Keith ScreeneCrouch End More...

Hello my name is Simone, I'm a student of Sifu Bryan.
I'm originally from Italy, living in London from 3 years now.
I think this system is really good even as a self defense, also to work on your own personality and on your body.
It works on your strength, on your will power and the teacher is very sensitive to adapt the lesson to the student needs.
I'm really enjoying the time I've spent there.
