..in their Own Words

“Coming to this school was the best decision I ever made, when I’m on the verge of giving up and wondering why I didn’t pick competitive eating over Kung Fu, I say to myself who would I be without it. This school has built me up to be the person I am today, it has given me friends, a new family, a second home and in a way a new sense of purpose. I wouldn’t trade this experience for anything in the world”

“After training in several different martial arts from an early age I can honestly say that I have found a truly comprehensive art accompanied by an open and honest Sifu. Having studied Hung gar in Hong Kong, Mainland China and London I believe anyone can greatly benefit from regular training in this tried and tested art. I have personally gained much from my 18 year of training at the Loong Fu and still have much to learn. I feel the quality of the system taught here in London by Leon Sifu is so high with so much depth that I really look forward to the next Eighteen years.”

“Excellent place to learn authentic kung fu under the guidance of a highly knowledgable and dedicated teacher”

“I have been studying Hung Gar kung fu under Leon Sifu’s guidance for almost 10 years now, a brilliant time filled with great memories, hard training and much learning. Leon Sifu is an excellent teacher, and he always creates in his school a great environment for practicing kung fu. Definitely the right place to learn authentic kung fu!”

“Leon is everything you could hope for in a martial arts teacher. He is not only a great practitioner of martial arts he is also a great teacher. His mere presence has you lifting your performance and if you ask him he will make you stronger than you knew you could be. Hung Kuen as a style is fantastic. It has incredible breadth & will teach you a whole knew system of movement and the mechanics of the body and psyche. Attending his school is an unregretable decision; I learnt much; and I miss it dearly.”

“The values of patience, perseverance, dicipline and a humble approach to hard work are difficult to instil in such a young person. However, Loong Fu Martial Arts shows it to be achievable with the right guidance, the latter found in abundance among the staff and expert guidance of Sifu Leon Dogan, whom Loong Fu Martial Arts school is extremely lucky to have. A true personification of all the values described above, he portrays Hung Kuen to not only be a kung fu style but, a way of life.”

“I felt very welcome and the school is amazing. The teaching is very individual and adapted to each student. The physical challenge is always matching each individual level of fitness. Student’ with more experience are also very helpful and supportive. I highly recommend the school. It is amazing and it has changed my life in a very positive way! Thanks Leon and everybody else involved in the school!”

“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.”

“Not only are Sifu Leon Dogan and his students carrying on real traditional Lam family lineage Hung Gar, they also happen to be some of the most down to earth and nicest people you will meet!”

“The Loong Fu Martial arts gave us the opportunity to practise together but to also attend different classes to improve on different skills. Whether it is sparing, fitness or women only, there are lessons to suit everyone. Leon knows exactly how much he can push us (often further than we would have without his help) and ensures we always get the best out of every lesson. He is supportive and encouraging whilst also being firm but fair. We can’t recommend it enough.”

“Some time ago, I walked in the kung fu school to try the class.The experience was indescribable. My life began to change. I loved it so much and kept going back.Years on and nothing else substitutes this experience. It is the best decidion i have done and one im ever so proud to lean on as i go through my life. The teaching of our sifu Leon Dogan has shaped my life, my character and has been the major factor of my personal and professional development. “Kung fu is everywhere “Sifu said and I am grateful to experience this every day in everything I do. It will challenge you, build you ,strengthen you ,support you and bring the best version of your self. What I used to think was a limitation at one point it is now not just an opportunity to grow but a strength of mine. I have acheived things i never thought i would. Confidence, endurance, right mind set,fitness,discipline,courage,control are just few of the benefits . To me It is the best philosophy and a way of living life.
Our sifu teaches traditional and modern techniques, with constant effortless support, guidance and motivation to better your self. Truly the best teacher one is fortunate to learn from.”

“My husband & I have trained 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. “

“When I first turned up at this school my knowledge of martial arts, Hung gar and its potential benefits for my health and well-being were completely unknown. I had tried many different things, but never really found something I truly enjoyed. For me this system has not only tested my physical strength and fitness, but also my determination and will to improve. I could not have continued to train here without the support and guidance from a Sifu like Leon, who is clearly dedicated to teaching Hung Gar the way he learnt it, passing on his knowledge with no frills or clichés. His teaching methods are simple; train hard, train regularly and put in 110%. As a result, I have never looked back and continued to train at this school as much as i can.”

“Great workout, great people, great trainer, what else can you ask for.”

“I am a senior with accumulated injuries in my legs, knees and hip joints, but the teachers there, Leon Shifu and Mrs Heather, are extremely helpful and now I am on a private course with tailored exercises for rehabilitation and reinforcement, and tai-chi training twice a month. They constantly encourage me and support me through lessons and emails, which have been extremely helpful as I tend to lose focus, feeling rather pessimistic. My current goal is to complete the routine of 24 forms tai-chi and to be able to perform it with confidence. Amazing school for children, youth and young adults, but also really great for injured seniors like myself.”
