My name is John Bourne and I live and grew up in Plymouth, England.
What I do is provide a safe environment for learning effective hand to hand combat that can be used for self defence or simply to feel healthy.
My Martial Arts journey
That experience changed my outlook forever!
I continue to spend time at my close friend Pierre Hartmanns home where Pierre has trained me personally.

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

what is fugung?
If you hadn't already noticed the name is simply gung fu reversed. I couldn't get gungfu so I got this. Its just a name for the site not the art.
