THE WAY OF THE MARTIAL ARTS

Wu Tao Kwan means, 'The Way of the Martial Arts'. Which is a pretty good way of describing this Chinese Martial Arts School!
Unlike so many other schools, Wu Tao Kwan does not practice one particular system (style). Rather, two distinct systems have been integrated into one school. When considering that there are only two known systems (hard and soft), it's not surprising that this is a very popular school. Popular, in that it caters for all-comers. Whether you are a big strong man, or a small petite woman, everybody can benefit from this unique Chinese Martial Arts School.

1,000 YEARS OF HISTORY

The two systems practiced within the school can be traced back over a thousand years to the world famous Shaolin (Sil Lum) Temple in Hunan province, China. There is the Choy Li Fut (soft style) system that was developed by Grandmaster Chan Heung. And there is the Chang Kuen (long-fist hard style) system that is predominantly Northern Chinese in its origins.
The Choy Li Fut and Chang Kuen systems were integrated into one school in 1980. The Choy Li Fut system coming from Chinese Grandmaster, Patrick Chang Law, and the Chang Kuen system coming from Black Belt, 5th Dan Sifu (teacher), Judd Whitelaw. Albeit Patrick and Judd have now retired from public teaching, the school remains in its original Chinese traditional format

TRUE CHINESE TRADITION

In true Chinese tradition, the Wu Tao Kwan school was handed down from Father to Son. Mr Whitelaw's second-son, Tim, now runs the school as its 'Chief Instructor'.
Trained by both, his Father (Judd Whitelaw) and his Fathers Master (Grandmaster Patrick Chang Law), Tim maintains the heritage, practices and tenets of the Ancient Chinese Masters. However, that is not to say that Wu Tao Kwan does not have a modern approach!

ACCOUNTABLE

As with all 'respected' Martial Arts Schools, Wu Tao Kwan is accountable to the British Governing Body - The Amateur Martial Arts Association. Masters and Students alike, are all licensed, have full insurances and, are subject to inspection from the AMA at any time.

NOT A BUSINESS

Nobody in the school makes a living from it. This means that classes and training are affordable to most people - no exorbitant prices here! An average class runs for approximately two hours and costs only £4.00. Membership and insurances cost only £35.00 for the first year, and only £30.00 per year thereafter. Gradings (modern approach) are only £9.00, and all equipment can be purchased via your club.

CLASSES

Tim currently runs classes in Kingston Upon Thames, Surrey, England. Want to know more? Email us and we will give you any further information you may require.
