"Excellent tuition in tradition Kung Fu"

A review of London Lau Gar Kung Fu by Andy written on Saturday 21st of July 2007

The address shown is not the location of the classes.

Training takes place at the St Marks Centre, Tollgate Road, Beckton, E6 5YA on a monday evening.

The teacher seems very knowledgeable and has about 20 years experience in this art.

Class consists of some fitness trsining, but mainly kung fu basics like correct body position, stance, kicking, punches and blocks. Also there are kung fu forms (a bit like kata in karate), weapons, Qi Gong (breathing and energy exercises).

It was a small class when I went to watch, but all the students are adults and they all seem to be very dedicated to the system and the teacher.

It was quite different to the tang soo do (korean karate) the also uses the same premises.

This group seem quieter, more focused and of course because it is adults only, they seem to work hard and the teaher is very willing to share his indepth knowledge.

I would say that if you are looking for a more traditional approach to learning a martial art then this might well be the ideal place to go.

Prices are very reasonable, the training is intelligent and detailed, and the teacher seemed very approachable.

If however you are just looking for a quick fix on learning martial arts, then this is not the class for you.

Or if you want to be in a big class that is more for fitness orientated, then again this is not the place to go..
