GET TO KNOW ME
Yin and Yang combine
I have been involved in martial arts since I was young training in Japanese arts as a child (Karate, Judo, Jodo and Iado). I discovered Chinese martial arts at university and never looked back. I have practised and taught Wing Chun under master Andrew Sofos. Set up and run university martial arts clubs at Imperial College and Queen Mary University. I have trained in China under the tutelage of master Li Quan learning Baji and 5 elements boxing. I have also learnt several styles of tai chi including modern and old yang style as well as sun style tai chi. I teach authentic kung fu but with detailed hands on instruction and feedback.

Xing Yi Chuan is the traditional Chinese martial art of the Chinese warrior elite originating in the Song dynasty. This is not a dead art done by old men in silk pyjamas but a living military tradition in line with tactical combat arts like Krav Maga and Systema.
