Kung fu - a Karate alternative Martial Art

The Home of Chi Wai Kung Fu

Welcome to Chi Wai Kung Fu - we are a friendly family orientated martial arts school run by fully accredited black belt Master Sifu. Sifu started out learning Bushido Zen-shindo in which he excelled - this was a mix of Wing Chung Kung Fu & Wado Ryu Karate in which he achieved 4th degree black belt.

Chi Wai - a mixture of traditional Kung Fu and Karate

"Having practised in a number of Martial Arts I have merged what I think to be the more direct techniques into the system called 'Chi Wai Kung Fu'. Using the skills gained from Traditional Kung Fu, Karate, Kick Boxing and other systems, I have developed a dynamic, practical and realistic self-defence system which can be adapted to suit adults and children of most ages and fitness levels.

"By keeping some of the traditional values found in Karate and Kung Fu I feel that Chi Wai is a well-rounded, progressive system that would suit all. Giving the right balance of FUN, fitness, respect, flexibility and a 'Black Belt Attitude' with the underlined importance of a practical self-defence." Sifu, Director of Chi Wai Kung Fu.
