SECRET GARDEN KUNG FU

WELCOME TO SECRET GARDEN KUNG FU

Here you can train in harmony with nature while feeling comfortable with your surroundings.

I share my intertwined passion for martial arts, maths, and philosophy on this website. By engaging with my teaching you will benefit in three ways: physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Why Secret? In China, traditional martial arts used to be passed on to the next generations behind closed doors — only the ones who could be trusted.

Why Garden? We enjoy training outdoors in nature, and our home garden is within our comfort zone.

A little about me

My name is Xue (pronounced “Shway”) and I’m a traditional Chinese martial artist.

I’ve been living in the UK since I was 29 years old and I’ve taught many students various subjects including Kung Fu, Maths, and the Chinese language.

I’m also passionate about philosophy and enjoy reading European authors and critical thinking.

What I offer you

I’m offering a traditional kung fu menu, made of the following styles: Tai Chi, Xingyi, Bagua, Fanzi, and Praying Mantis.

Whether you’re new to martial arts or you’re looking to improve a particular style, I can develop a training path to suit you.

During our training, I will arm you with tools that will help you achieve what you’re looking for. It’s a proven method that I developed in over 40 years of experience.

Benefits of training

By training with me, you will make the impossible possible: physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Some of the benefits of our training will be to manage your body weight while discovering your body mechanics and ability; to reduce anxiety and stress while improving your concentration and focus; to learn something new and expand your knowledge of Chinese culture.
