Welcome to the International Lau Family Hung Kuen Kung Fu Academy - The academy for authentic and holistic martial arts!

MARTIAL ART OR COMBAT SPORT?

As the name martial art suggests, the focus of the methods and objectives used in Kung Fu is not the realisation of a "sports career". Rather, traditional Kung Fu is - in short - an ancient Chinese skill, for the best possible cultivation of body and mind.

In traditional Martial Arts, learning the original way of fighting is the central topic. Nevertheless, over the centuries, and especially in the modern era, martial arts have moved closer to the sport through their adaptation to the Western zeitgeist.

Martial arts bridge the gap between the time-honored, highly complex methods and techniques of traditional martial arts and a more accessible approach to the subject of “fighting” (see similarities to boxing).

However, thanks to the holistic training approach in martial arts, people interested in sports can achieve peak athletic performance in a way that benefits their health and a level of performance that, with the conventional training methods of traditional sports, is often accessible only to so-called exceptional talents.

The focus of our instruction is on teaching the skills and techniques, refined over many centuries, needed to master a traditional martial art.

But we also offer sports enthusiasts the opportunity to prepare for and participate in national and international competitions, allowing them to showcase their skills through sports and challenge themselves at a competitive level.

Accordingly, in September 2024, some of our students successfully held their own against a predominantly Asian field of competitors at the Kung Fu World Championships in New York (USA) and won several bronze medals.

What is Kung Fu?

Kung Fu means to cultivate a complex ability with absolute devotion up to mastery.

It does not matter if it is about learning an instrument, painting, poetry, visual arts or practicing a martial art - the skill meets the highest standards and impresses with its perfection - this is what we call good Kung Fu!

In the western culture the term Kung Fu is established as a term for traditional Chinese martial arts.

Chinese martial arts went through a historical development of several thousand years. Kung Fu is so strongly interwoven in the Chinese culture that nowadays in all areas of life (schools, banks, business, administration etc.) relics and artefacts related to martial arts can be found as good luck charms or protectors in the form of figures and statues.

Traditional Kung Fu is a martial art and not a combat sport.

As the name martial art implies, the focus of the methods and objectives used in Kung Fu is not the achievement of a "sporting career". Rather, traditional Kung Fu is - in short - an ancient Chinese skill, handed down for centuries and proven to cultivate the body and mind in the best possible way.
In this traditional martial art, learning to fight originally plays the most prominent role.

Kung Fu - the supreme discipline of traditional martial arts

Kung Fu excellently demands and promotes the healthy development of a human being in a holistic way.

This includes a physical, psychological and social level:

Concentration and stamina,
Coordination and body control,
Self-confidence and self-esteem,
Strengthening of the body's immune defenses and fitness
Fairness and peacefulness,
Serenity and humor,
Dscipline and mindfulness as well as appreciation and respect.

Who practices good Kung Fu learns real fighting!
Both the famous Hung Kuen Kung Fu of the world-renowned Lau family and the honourable Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu are complete martial arts systems in which the following methods are used:
