Our Online Classes

As they say, every cloud has a silver lining, and for us, the silver lining which came from the Covid-19 “Cloud” was our discovery of Zoom, and the fact that it is now possible for people to train in our classes from virtually anywhere on the planet, providing they have a good internet connection!

We have been teaching Kung Fu for more than 25 years. Over the years, we have tried various platforms to teach people in different countries, but moving fully online, which was necessitated by the Covid-19 Pandemic and the UK Lockdowns, happened for the first time in 2020.

After initially thinking that the online learning experience was not as good as face-to-face, we were largely proven wrong. Luckily White Crane Kung Fu, as a system, lends itself very well to online learning, and we have been really impressed with how well people have adapted to learning in this new way. So far the results have been amazing!

We now have an online grading system in place. For our students who are training from a distance, gradings are especially important – as well as judging your standard of ability, we will also be looking at your movements to make sure you are training safely. We’ll be looking at your joint alignment, posture and movements to make sure you’re not damaging your body.

Please note that our Instructors and UK students are insured through our governing bodies. Unfortunately we are unable to arrange insurance for overseas students. If you are joining our classes from abroad, and you wish to do so, we recommend that you look into arranging your own insurance  in the country where you live.
