Hung Kuen Academy UK, founded by Philip Chi Fai Leung, specialises in teaching Hung Gar (Hung Kuen), a traditional Southern Shaolin martial art with centuries of history. Based in West Ealing, London, the academy serves students of all ages seeking authentic Chinese martial arts training combined with practical self-defence skills.
The academy teaches Hung Gar's signature strong stances and forearm techniques, integrated with fitness conditioning, Chi Kung (energy cultivation), and self-defence applications. This comprehensive approach appeals to those interested in martial arts for competitive championship participation, cultural heritage preservation, or personal wellness and fitness.
What distinguishes Hung Kuen Academy UK is the founder's exceptional credentials and background. Philip Chi Fai Leung is a martial artist and stunt performer with extensive film work in Hong Kong's Kung Fu cinema, plus over 25 years of dedicated practice. As a recognised Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) specialist and master instructor, he brings scholarly depth alongside practical expertise. The academy maintains full accreditation, insurance, First Aid certification and DBS checking, ensuring professional standards and student safety.
Rather than treating Kung Fu as mere exercise, Philip's approach emphasises preserving and transmitting the cultural significance of this ancient martial art to future generations. The academy bridges traditional Chinese martial heritage with contemporary London life, attracting serious practitioners committed to authentic training under a genuinely accomplished master.
