Attention Old Skool Kung Fu Fans in Crawley & West Sussex

You’ve Loved Old Skool Kung Fu Since You Were A Kid. Now Come And Train It.

The films weren’t making it up. That training hall is real — and there’s one hidden in Crawley.

  • Cardio kickboxing
  • A belt factory
  • A McDojo with a smoothie bar

Behind an ordinary door in Crawley is a small, old skool training hall. Maximum nine students. No mirrors. No music. No trophies on the wall.

Inside, we train Chow Gar Southern Praying Mantis the way it has been passed down for three hundred years — grinding arm, heavy arms, iron body, chi gung, sensitivity, and short-range power generated from inches away.

You don’t need to be fit. You don’t need to be young. You don’t need to have thrown a punch in your life. Most of the men and women who walk in here are 40+, work long hours, and haven’t trained seriously in years.

The training is what changes you. That’s the whole point of it.

Every Master Was Once A Beginner. You Don’t Arrive As A Fighter — You Enter To Become One.
