I've added in the old links (which disappeared from earlier edits, for some reason), and had a look round for print media sources. My work search engine came up with this:

'Gym'll fix it', Time Out, 11th January 2006:

Kensington Leisure Centre

Unlike some of the borough's other leisure centres, it's hard to fault this one. If you don't live nearby, you may well want to travel here.

It's clear from the minute you enter its swish automatic doors that a lot of planning has gone into the place. From the wide-laned 33-metre pool and adjacent teaching pool to the modern gym, now owned by Courtneys, and the popular sports hall, the whole place is a spacious, open-plan affair. Bare-knuckled masochists will enjoy zhuan shu kuan classes, where you can learn to smash piles of bricks with your hands and head, but there are plenty of generic workouts for those who prefer a more tempered approach to fitness; most are covered by the membership fee.

 * Delete no evidence of notability for this new art. JJL (talk) 02:25, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Strong keep Links are provided at the bottom of the page to the art taken in Coventry. It is also taught in London and Scotland - this indicates that it is spread across a distance of the UK. There are many links referencing zsk, although some of them are only available to members of the discipline. Just because something is not as widespread as karate, ju jitsu or muay thai does not make it any the less notable. ZSK is a relatively new sport (breaking away from wu shu in the 1980s) but it has already seen members compete in cross-discipline competitions. The article was not written in the form of an advert, it was written coherently giving information about the style and as such I see no reason to delete it other than on a discrimination basis that it has only been going 20 years as opposed to hundreds and so has yet to gain the same coverage some traditional arts have —Preceding KSM comment added by 82.19.175.91 (talk) 00:40, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
