Leon has found the perfect blend of traditional teaching methods with modern sensibilities. There are a range of classes that help with different aspects of mind, body and skill development. I have built a solid foundation of core techniques and am always learning new things. Classes never feel stale and Leon encourages me to
develop my individual style within the system.
Absolutely brilliant. No ego’s or attitude by senior students, all they do is support. Leon is a great teacher and all there are positive and friendly, even to utterly unfit and struggling new students like myself.
I joined this school 18 months ago and have the utmost respect for the style and for Leon who is an excellent Sifu. What stands out for me is the dedication Leon has for his students and the school. He teaches traditionally and trains you hard but he also takes the time to improve each student individually by engaging with them rather than teaching at a distance from the front of class. I can’t recommend this school enough butcome and see for yourself.
My husband & I have been training Hung gar with Leon for about 2 years. Teaching style: Leon is a fantastic teacher. He is patient and will always give 100% at every class to make every student the best they can be. Progress: Classes are structured in a way that you can achieve maximum progress. The school is open 6 days per week & has classes at all different times. We try to get to each class early so we can practice the forms. Leon, Heather or other senior students are always all around to support you how to improve. We have already learnt a number of different forms including learning the weapons. Benefits: We started kung fu for fitness and self defense. I [Kathryn] also train to reduce stress. It really helps with this.
