If you are considering taking up a Martial Art and Lau Gar Kung Fu appeals then come along and watch! - There are no obligations to join and the first lesson is FREE!

Most people feel a little unsure when visiting a class for the first time. This is only natural; this initial meeting is the hardest thing that you will do! You will soon get into the training. You will discover our friendly and informative atmosphere and relaxed nature. You will be encouraged to participate in the class and this will enable you to ask as many questions as you need, with the Instructor taking time to answer all questions.

Classes for Children (6+) run from 6pm to 7pm Thursdays and the Beginner & Intermediate Class from 7pm to 9pm.

Am I too old / young to join a Martial Art School?
We currently welcome new Students from 11 upwards in the main class and 6+ in the Childrens.

It is our recommendation that you speak to your doctor prior to starting any fitness program if you have any concerns.
