In Kiambu, more than a dozen primary and secondary schools offer courses in Chinese martial arts, and the Confucius Institutes at Kenya's top universities, the universities of Nairobi and Kenyatta, offer martial arts classes all year round, with more than 10 martial arts clubs and many martial arts enthusiasts across the country.

Kung fu has become a popular sport in Kenya, particularly among school-age children. They find it interesting because it keeps their body in shape, and it teaches them self-defense and self-control.

Chinese martial arts teach an excellent way of life, and the sport helps people become strong, healthy, stay in good shape and develop excellent concentration.

Chinese martial arts are lifetime physical exercises and are performed with balanced movements between the legs and hands, making them preferable to other exercises.
