Which one of you Clowns is running around with a sear or a sword in this day and age and getting into real life and death fights ?

This is hilarious. I was a brown sash in Lau Ga and really miss it. I went over to Hung Ga and still love training. I remember meeting Steve in Scotland and he had really fast hands. I hope you are still training and I will get back to my basics and try to remember all of my forms. This Jake guy must spread his toast with those things. He’s clearly making this shite up. 😂

Hey guys...more videos please! Thanks to stumbling across you guys a few years back I remembered how much fun I had learning traditional martial arts...and, out here in Vietnam, I found a teacher to teach me võ cổ truyền...the traditional Vietnamese arts...great fun... I'm far too old and crap...but it's a lot of fun and I was given a beautiful certificate from the national association saying I was the first foreigner to study this style... Thanks for the inspiration....

Learned this set in 1977! From Kong Buck Sam (RIP), 2008! Lau Gar Jeung from Chiu Wei Sigung 🤗💕😬

Hallo happy to see lau gar still going. I learn years ago but I wish to find the forms fai long. Gee and Lau gar Luk if can help be very helpful

Reminds me of the Rokkishu hand set from Okinawan karate, which comes from white crane. I like this style, might go and check it out as there's a school near me

Where can I find teacher of this form a d contact number

jake mace is clearly a twot - but I'm not sure any less frudulent than you who purports to be a weapons expert when you certainly have zero real world experience using a spear or sword, have never fought in a battle and never chopped off anyone's fingers or hand - your "expertise" is in your head same as Jakes!

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this. I found myself doing it (well with my hands lol) after the best part of 37/8 years since i had to walk away from Lau Gar due to work commitments! Your uniform was very close to what we used to wear aswel!

This is NOT done properly. The horse stance is only half way down the movements are far too airy fairy. You should be covering from the upper quadrant to the lower quadrant not just waving your hand around somewhere vaguely in the middle. Very disappointing for someone who was/is a Guardian to put this out there.

Where are you based please? I would love to train with you to understand what is in the forms.

Looks like a smattering of the first and second Wing Chun forms.

LOL at the sleeping in the garage air bed story ! happy days

Hi Gents, I enjoyed listening to this podcast. the whistle chat brought lots of memories back ! I used to be a Guardian and enjoyed my time doing Lau Gar, I stepped down as a Guardian in 2012 - happy to chat with one or both of you anytime.

A made up Kung Fu style the product of Mike Haig and Jerremy Yau created in the 1970's to exploit the Bruce Lee Kung Fu craze. Don't confuse this with Lau Gar Fist from Hung Gar which it isn't. This form or set unsurprisingly, takes some of Wing Chun's Sil Lim Toa's (Little idea) set hand movements and obliterates their true meaning. But dress up in Chinese style clothes and play Chinese music and you are all set! 🤣🤣🤣

I did Lau gar in Birmingham in the 70s under Jeremy Yau,then under Ken Hoult in Dudley in the 80s..I'm now in I'll health and much older but so very much wish I could find vids of all the forms to practise

Man I used to love Jake as a kid 😂 cool guy but I don’t think he would be a great fighter. This is just nonsense

Steven Seagal doesn't do Aikido in his films. He does Aikijitsu.

To be fair, this looked like a choreograph fight for an action scene. Which would be fine. But not as an instructional.

This was the first form I ever learned, was also taught by Shifu Steven, very nicely done clip!

I must admit, I saw this coming back in the early 90s. I started Lau Gar in London in 1984, under Sifu Stan Brown at his Acton club in West London on Saturdays. In order to train more often, I would also attend regular Monday evening classes at his club in Tottenham. For even more weekly training, I would train at Winston Brown's classes in Kilburn and then Charles Brown's classes in Romford. I also trained at a few others, all senior students of Sifu Stan Brown: Curtis Page in White City, "Kung Fu" Kelly in Shepherds Bush and another guy, Charles David (who was also a Wing Chun player) in Canning Town. We would all train in the main London Lau Gar school at Acton Community Centre with Sifu Stan Brown. The club had a fantastic atmosphere and there were youth and senior classes, gradings and a ton of sparring practice with some very hardcore, but also very respectful fighters. A separate competition focused class waa run by Curtis Page, for those who were mainly intetested in tbe sport Kick-Boxing aspect of Lau Gar. I remember hearing of a breakaway from the BKFA back then, and Sifu Stan Brown eventually broke away to continue his own school, which I think was called Red Dragon at the time. There was always a kind of "separation" from the Bimingham group of Master Jeremy Yau and that of Sifu Stan Brown, although to take a black slash exam, it was still necessary to go to Birmingham. I stayed as a brown sash for 3 years and never went for the black sash. By then, I had been learning Tai Chi and eventuality chose to drop the Lau Gar in order to focus on Tai Chi - although for a few years I still continued to go to Sifu Stan Brown's classes sporadically. He was always very supportive of my quest in going to Tai Chi, which I am practising these days at 64 years of age. Occasionally, I still practice the Kay Boon Sau Fa and Jorn Sau sets, and I'm thinking about trying to pick up the staff form again. Sometimes, in practising Tai Chi push-hands, some of my Lau Gar sticky hands old reflexes can get in the way...

Wow - this is amazing. I learned this 44 years ago, when I was just 14 years old at a Lau Gar academy in Sheffield in the UK. Looking back, I really wish I had kept up with it now.

It’s sad to hear how things have developed. I started in Lau Gar in the late 70’s with George Wellington (RIP), and continued with Chris Boughey for about ten years. My “lab” was joining the police, I found that while I could defend myself, many of the techniques didn’t really fall into the Home Office approved category. I took up Tai Chi to fill that gap. My Tai Chi teacher; Dan Docherty, ex Hong Kong police, had the sporting martial credentials you referred to, he was a South East Asian full contact champion,. In retrospect his tournament record wasn’t really relevant, but as a young man looking for something specific, his competition history, added credence to his teaching.

If the style is going to die.....will that encourage you to make more of the excellent videos on the sets/forms? Yes please!

Love this guy👍

As kids, we used to make up movie play fights this say, haha.

I'm a Hung Gar practitioner that lineages and " Science " hasn't anything to do with "Bobby Davro" style of hung gar . Please don't paint all hung gar fighters by your opinion of them. Not all hung gar is practiced in Hong Kong. I think at the end of the day , i feel you have very little understanding of the hung gar system. I'm like Steve in that I'm not chinese and don't try to be. I use English language to break down the words used in strategy and principles to make my kungfu work. I know that implying hung gar is hollow is coming from a place of lack of knowledge about the hung gar system.

Mine would be 1) Fist of Legend, yes I know about the wire fu but still ace. 2) Flash Point. My fave Donnie Yen movie. 3) Police Story. Jackie Chan. It was that film that inspired me to try Kung Fu. 4) Way of the Dragon. 5) Warrior King

I did Lau for 39 years and jacked it all in 2020. Had enough running a club, just tired of turning up twice a week, every week with students most of whom were Black sashes showing indifference to regular training. I had a good run, no complaints from me, but in the end my interest just disappeared. I think the BKFA is sadly on its last legs, which is a shame. I think back to the 80s as an example, superb fighters, clubs in every town, feared or respected on the competition circuit, big names. Now there is nothing left worth mentioning.

wing chun siu nim tao

I’m lau gar at Bristol blue then next weeks sorry that I love it got technical move ❤next 4weeks . I’m wingchu to just say move are same

I’m blue next next once 26 June helps with ❤

Reminds me of karate kata tensho.

I was learning law gar in 80s a d for long time is great has teach me a lot a d I grow always if can help me find the other forms and. For brown belts as I wish to remember them

Have you done the far qun flower fists and for now blet

I trained in Lau Gar from early 90s to about 2004. I did what I set out to do and got my black belt. This is really sad to hear.

1.15 Steve please correct me if this is not right. Lau Gar is effectively run by a committee calling themselves guardians but the Managing Director as such or owner is never in attendance but sends a representative who seems to just listen rather than present a topic? Is that right?

Thanks guys for the enlightening conversation. I first trained in Lau Gar back in the early 80's and had a short break when my group dissolved for about 2 years. I rhhen managed to train for a few more years when a school set up by my place of work and enjoyed a few more years with it and dabbled with Karate (Shotokan) on the side. Life and absence of good training plus a glimpse of the true politics at the top made me set this aside to give more attention to my career and earning at least a crust. Now approaching 61 I find myself in search of the arts as means of keeping fit and healthy as much as anything else. As a maatter of some long forgotten loyalty my first search was for Lau Gar hoping it had somehow flourished and grown over the years. I wwas shocked how few classes were on offer in tthe UK. More shocked that in the West Midlands it is almost without coverage at all. Seems I wil have tto brush up the forms aand such using what I can gather here on the web plus my own faulty memories. I have to thank you both for openly discussing things I had hints of in the 80's come to full fruition. I found ego's and politics seemed oftten more important thaan the style or even any nod to 'Kung Fu'. Nothing changes. I would still love to study the style further and return to my roots so to speak. I also found there were 'Sifu' who wanted to train people and those who were full of their own ego and the rush from that. The few serious ones were crushed by lack of funds or barriers of time space and instruction of their own to pass on. Some managed to keep going but the Ego types moved onto the latest fad more often or like me the reality of life did not afford the luxury of serving two masters. Steve. I have no idea what happened to you but I hope you feel able to still pass on those skills where you are. What you have is of great value still even if not under the political umbrella of 'the management'. James, please get some cream for that armpit itch! 😄 Great vid guys willl keep following!

Fired, resigned or "pushed", it matters not. It's sad to see you are no longer part of the BKFA. Still... unlike every other person who has left for whatever reason I believe you will continue to teach Lau the right way, and as you say, you respect the style and Master Yau. So I wish you both the best of luck.

My saviour 💕💕

Great reaction video 😋 loved it

It's 'Jong Sau' as far as I now from back it the day and I still have the old book with Jeremy Yau in it.

This looks a lot like Wing Chun's first form. Does this show common ancestory?

Will you do also the 4 and 5 forms

I mostly enjoyed the bit where somebody was rendered briefly unconscious from that wrist strike

I will never tire of hearing you guys clown on Jake Mace. Hey, his kung fu might not be good but it’s lots. Tai chi, xing Yi, ba gua, shaolin kung fu, mantis, traditional weapons…. Truly an impressive list of things he doesn’t know.

Steve used to be my Instructor at Ainslie Park in Edinburgh in the late 90s.
