My Martial Arts journey

  • Kempo Karate
​​
  • 1992 brief time in Tai Chi​
  • 1994 JKD Concepts
  • 1996 Wingchun
​
  • 2005 after talking with my good friend Craig Coleman (ex full instructor of Tommy Carruthers) I joined him in London where I met Jesse Glover the founder of Non Classical Gung FU (NCGF) and a few of his students Ingolf Grabitz, Pierre Hartmann and Wolfgang Rain.

​That experience changed my outlook forever!
​​
  • I then started following Jesse around Europe on his seminar circuit. This continued for a number of years where I often stayed with him in Pierre Hartmans home.
  • 2005 trained at a seminar with Lamar Davis II an Original JKD instructor (we remain close friends to this day)
​
  • 2006 trained at a seminar with Andy Kimura son of Taky Kimura ( Bruce Lees best friend and keeper of his grave)
  • ​2009/10 bit more time in tai chi
​​
I continue to spend time at my close friend Pierre Hartmanns home where Pierre has trained me personally.

what is fugung.com?

​It's just a name for the site not the art.

​
If you hadn't already worked it out the name is simply gung fu reversed. I couldn't get gungfu.com so I bought fugung.com
