Maybe you could even represent Great Britain at the IWUF World Championships, and win Gold like Instructor Maki!

Whatever you are facing, learn to stand with the strength of the Tiger, and win with the refinement of the White Crane.

Our mission is to empower people to uncover their inner strength and realise their full potential through the art and practice of Kung Fu.

At Tiger Crane Kung Fu, we teach three classical martial arts styles: Tiger Crane Combination, Yongchun White Crane, and White Crane Tai Chi. All originating from the White Crane system, these styles contrast and complement each other beautifully, offering something for everyone.

We run multiple classes five days a week and have different locations across London. Find a class near you, join our club, and see how learning and training Kung Fu can transform your life.

My son and I train Kung Fu and I also do Tai Chi – it's great for both body and mind. It's also something that works for everyone, regardless of your starting point. Good club feel too!

Most of the senior students have been training many years, and at least half are women so there's no macho posturing. Cannot recommend strongly enough – life changing if you put a little time into it!

Ben WithamMember since 2015

Training with Dave in the Tiger Crane style has been life-changing for me. The training and Dave’s instruction has given me not just physical and mental strength but has also been instrumental in helping me achieve life goals and career ambitions.

Sayeh GhanbariMember since 2005

Dave has been a fantastic teacher. I started training after seeing how he motivated my children and can honestly say that despite middle age approaching I am in the best shape I have ever been. Kung Fu makes you awesome!

Gregg BeecheyMember since 2014

It is the teacher and the club (people) I was looking for. There is really nothing not to like, if you are looking for a good and all-rounded martial arts club - you've found it.
