The Complete System

The Jade Dragon kung fu system may be little known to most but it is a comprehensive and supremely effective system of combat skills and self mastery. The term kung fu covers all the martial arts of China and there are between 500 and 1500 styles, nobody knows exactly how many. Only a few of these are well known in the West such as Wing Chun and Tai Chi Chuan although that is more commonly taught as a series of health exercises.

The Jade Dragon system is a study of force and balance. Only when each part of the body is balanced and working together can we generate force efficiently. By following the principles of Jade Dragon you can learn to overpower a much larger opponent with little effort. Those same principles also enable you to deal with stress and pressure in your life and remain calm and peaceful inside no matter what is going on around you.

The Jade Dragon system is a complete martial art from which any adult can gain great benefit. At it's core is Baguaquan which is one of the most highly respected martial arts ever developed. However, unlike Baguaquan, the Jade Dragon system also teaches 8 animal styles which relate to the 8 elements of Bagua. This gives a far greater flexibility in the skills of attack and defence than is seen in almost any other martial art.

The self defence aspect (taught from virtually the first lesson) includes defences against the most common types of attack found on the streets today. The skills and forms that are taught work for real - we teach no empty forms (forms that are movements only because the instructor doesn't know how to use them). This is the real deal for students who are serious about mastery of a genuine martial art.

"The principles, techniques and applications presented in class are always clearly put across and enjoyable and it is easy to see how they can relate to real life"

"I have been attending Jade Dragon Kung Fu classes with Sifu Paul Chapman for 11 months, and have enjoyed every class so far! This I believe is because we are shown applications of the skills and movements we learn, so we know WHY we work towards perfecting them. "

""Although I have only been attending the Jade Dragon Kung Fu classes for a short time, I can already feel the benefits of this martial art. When I started, I was unsure I‘d handle the training due to my level of fitness, however the classes are designed to stretch each person just beyong thier comfort zone. Thus, each class has improved my confidence & health. Sifu Paul Chapman’s teaching style covers the practical as well as the energy & mind of Kung Fu."
