The orgins of RED DRAGONS

 According to legend Lau Sam-Ngan learned martial arts from Jee Sin, a Chan (Zen) master at the Southern Shaolin Temple.

Jee Sin (ak Gee Sum Sim See) was also the teacher of Hung Hei Gun,Choy Gau Lee, Mok Da Si, Lau Sam-Ngan and Li Yao San. Together these five students later became the famous founders of five of the southern shaolin styles (Hung Ga, Choy Gar, Mok Gar, Li Gar and Lau Gar). Lau Gar Kuen

There are many schools of kung fu and Lau Gar Kuen is one of the oldest being one of the original 5 ancestor styles. Lau Gar Kuen translated means 'Lau Family Fist'.

Origins of Lau Gar

Lau Gar Kuen is derived from a form of boxing practiced at Kuei Ling Temple situated in Kong Sai (Guangxi) Province in west China. It was learned from a monk on retreat from that temple by Master Lau Sam Ngan, "Three Eyed Lau", a tiger hunter, whom we honour as founder of our style. He is reputed to have earned his name because of a deep scar in the middle of his forehead which resembled a third eye. The style subsequently became popular over a large part of south west China. In fact all of the southern systems of kung fu are derived from 5 major styles namely: Lau, Hung, Choy, Li and Mok.

Towards the end of the 1800's Master Yau's Grandfather (Yau Luk Sau, pictured above) conceived the desire to learn Kung Fu. At the age of 13 he left Kowloon, now in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, and travelled to Kong Sai Province where he trained under the Master Tang Hoi Ching. Nine years passed before he was given the right to teach independent of Master Tang. Master Yau's Grandfather subsequently met the Master Wan Goon Wing with whom he continued his studies for a further six years, and whom he served as son until the latter's death. On his return to Kowloon, Master Yau Luk Sau taught only his family and close friends before opening his club to the public. During this time Master Yau commenced his training at the age of six. The training was conducted at the village community centre in Kowloon City (Gau Lung Sing) just outside the famous Walled City. His training continued for 4 hours a night 360 nights a year for 15 years.

Master Yau brought the style to the United Kingdom in 1961. The British Kung Fu Association was set up in 1973 and Master Jeremy Yau, being the keeper of the Lau Gar style, was invited to be the Chief Instructor. Subsequently Lau Gar has become Britain's most popular form of Kung Fu 

Carl started training in Lau Gar in 1981  and gained Black Sash Black Belt standard 1989 it was there Red Dragons birth place took place.

IN SIGHT TO AN INSTRUCTOR

NEVER GIVEN EXCUSES FOR NOT TRYING AND ALWAYS TRY TO BE ON TARGET

 First Started Training Way Back in 1980 in Master Yaus  Lau Gar Fist.

And Had a great Time , Trained Hard old School  and went out with some top

people and wouldnf change that experience in martial arts for any other club

Gained  Black Sash and Black Belt that took me 9 years to gain

  Trained in several other Styles and Systems

We were more like family than members and that is what i  try to bring

 to the club today and it works really well 

I open Red Dragons in 1990 still under Lau Gar  decided to venture outwards in the

martial arts  world to gain other skills out side  chinese systems.

 So being in a postion as a Medic and work on martial arts events had the chance

to meet and train if only briefly with other instructors in styles that i never really

heard of.........

I have been quite lucky and can only thank all who invested there time and

patience with me!

Red Dragons has really had no leigance to anyone with No Nonsence -Politics

or BS  and only concerns itself with its own

we have a never ending passion to learn more and try to evolve into better 

fighters and the people we have a wide range of ages from peewees from 3 yo

Young People to adults  ......
