Welcome to Bac Loong Gar Martial Arts

Welcome to the home page of Bac Loong Gar Martial Arts

Bac Loong Gar is a predominantly chinese martial art which consists of Lau Gar and Wing Chun kung fu, San Shou Chinese kickboxing, Tai Chi Chuan (Chen, Sun, Yang) and Chi Kung (vital energy). Daoist yoga is also practised prior to Chi Kung exercises. Traditional Tae Kwon Do is also taught by our instructor, Alan Hughes, 5th dan who joined us with over twenty years experience with the WTF and ITF.

The separate disciplines are traditional Chinese and Korean, from authentic lineages and can be practised singularly or combined to form effective self defence techniques and improve health and general fitness. Bac Loong Gar is taught as a whole system, however students are able to select which style in which they wish to train, although those who take on board the whole system reap greater benefits.

Bac Loong Gar was developed by Master Bob Denny 8th degree and the syllabus accepted and copyrighted by Grandmaster Mike Symonds of the British Association of Chinese Arts in 2001. San Shou Chinese Kickboxing was added, with Tae Kwon Do also submitted later and approved by the BNMAA.

The system of Bac Loong Gar in it's entirety is recognised by the Association for Chinese & Korean Traditional Martial Arts. Tai Chi Chuan is taught specifically to adults and membership is with the Tai Chi Union of Great Britain.

Bob Denny has around 50 years experience of training in martial arts. He is believed to be the only instructor in Cornwall who has been graded to black sash by Master Jeremy Yau and can provide evidence from the British Kung Fu Association. Instructors should be properly qualified and up date with current legal training requirements, first aid, child protection, coaching skills and recent CRB checks, otherwise their insurances are rendered invalid. Students are always encouraged to make these checks, as any legitimate instructor will welcome any check with their affiliated associations. At Bac Loong Gar Martial Arts we positively encourage this.
