A martial arts school at 23 Kaurilands Road in Titirangi, Auckland, founded in 1993 by Quintin Derham, who has trained in traditional Chinese martial arts for more than 40 years. The school teaches Kempo, Tai Chi, Qigong, Taijiquan, Ba Gua Zhang, Xingyi and traditional Chinese weaponry, along with self-defence, to people of all ages and abilities. The website says the focus is on balance, posture, coordination, breath and confidence, and that the school welcomes beginners as well as long-time students.
The school also offers online lessons, with more than 100 hours of material on its Vimeo account, and an expression-of-interest form for people who want to start. The website says the team replies within 24 hours. A school once booked Quintin for self-defence sessions with its Year 9 and 10 students, and said his sessions were accessible and relevant to everyday situations. A parent said their son has trained in Kempo since he was four, and has gained focus, respect and self-control.
