Let’s be real — being a young South African right now is tough.

School pressure. Social media stress. Unemployment. Constant hustle.
And half the “wellness stuff” out there feels… well, cringe. 🫠

That’s exactly why Kung Fu Rise and Kick, Breathe, Lead were born — straight outta Cape Town’s creative and cultural heartbeat.
We’re fusing Shaolin Kung Fu, Health Qigong, and modern leadership skills into a 90-day journey that helps you:

Get fit and focused
Build emotional resilience
Lead your peers with confidence
Earn credentials that actually open doors

This isn’t just training — it’s a movement for Gen Z changemakers.

“You don’t need to be born with privilege — you just need to be raised with strategy.”

Through Kung Fu Rise, you’ll train under real masters — not YouTube instructors.
Our head coaches have 30+ years’ experience and are part of SAHQA, the official South African branch of the International Health Qigong Federation (Beijing) and CHQA (China).

That means your training is globally recognised — but rooted in African rhythm and Shaolin wisdom.
You’ll get hands-on experience teaching, mentoring, and leading others — while learning to balance power with peace.

You’ll leave with more than just moves—you’ll have skills for life.

Coaching Toolkit – Learn how to lead warm-ups, create lesson plans, and guide real classes.
Signature Routines – One Kung Fu form + one Health Qigong flow = your personal “coach badge”.
Mental Edge – Focus drills, breath hacks, and techniques to stay calm under pressure.
Social Proof – Assist real workshops and build portfolio content for your CV or social media.
Confidence Boost – Learn to lead groups, speak up, and inspire others — even if you’re shy.

“You’ll go from follower to role model — without ever needing a cape.”

Every generation needs protectors, mentors, and creators.
Our ancestors had the drum. We’ve got the kwoon — and the drive.

Kick, Breathe, Lead teaches you to balance both sides:
The Fighter – strength, focus, discipline
The Healer – recovery, breathwork, emotional flow

You’ll train with Dr. Jeff Lan (9th Duan Master & Doctor of Chinese Medicine) and Amanda Lan (7th Duan Master, BalanceHER founder, and Lion Drum Coach).

Together, they’ve trained lion dancers, Kung Fu champions, and Qigong healers across South Africa.
Now, it’s your turn.

This isn’t just “learn some punches and breathe.”
This is Kung Fu Recovery™ — a modern life skill built on centuries of wisdom.

No mats.

No fancy gear.

Just movement, breath, rhythm, and mindset.

Every week, for 3 months, you’ll train twice in Cape Town (hybrid options available), working through short but powerful routines that keep your body strong and your mind calm.

We’ve woven in BalanceHER Biohacks—90-second micro-practices for hormonal balance, emotional regulation, and leadership energy.

No “just breathe” fluff — real talk, real tools, real results.

Because strength looks different for everyone — and we rise together.
