The
Ren Yi Wu Kwan was founded by Grandmaster M.K. Loke to take forward
the development of martial art into the twenty-first century. This has
been achieved by combining great Chinese technical sophistication with
modern teaching methods so for the first time, it is possible for all
to learn and enjoy a complex, complete and effective martial art.
Martial arts
have been taught for thousands of years but never before have their
core principles been made generally available. Previously it was necessary
for you to train for more than twenty years before you could be taught
those theories and practices which make all the difference to your effectiveness
as a martial artists.
Grandmaster
M.K. Loke's Ren Yi Wu Kwan Tang Sou Dao is a fusion of the best of the
old and new, a unique system that is practised only within the Grandmaster's
association. This system will teach you how to generate tremendous long
range as well as short range impact power in blows . You will also learn
a wide range of spectacular kicks, evasive and attacking footwork, line,
timing, distance,effective grappling, body blocking and all the tactics
which taken together make Tang Sou Dao work for you - regardless of
your size and weight.
Grandmaster
Loke began his training in his birth place -Penang, Malaysia during
1964, learning karate, Praying Mantis, White Crane and Eighteen Hands
Luohan under that renowned Master Lim Cheng Hock and in 1973, he opened
his first British club.
Since then
he has enrolled more than 8,000 students and qualified more than 300
black belts, many of whom have achieved master/ shi fu level (these
terms are explained elsewhere in your manual) . He now operates from
his academy's headquarters cum full-time centre of excellence in the
Greater London area and has a growing family of clubs.
Our Founder's
past achievements includes being a Founder and Executive member of the
British Martial Arts Commission from 1977-1990 and has served as an
Advisor from 1990-1992 to the British Sports Council Advisory Group
for martial arts.
Reference
to martial art ' family' is intentional because the Ren Yi Wu Kwan is
an organisation in which all members are valued for what they are and
encouraged to develop. Through your membership, you will enjoy the company
of like-minded people whilst learning practical techniques from an instructor
whose performance in teaching you is monitored directly by the Grandmaster.
You can contact the head of the family - the Grandmaster - directly
yourself and you will meet him when he visits your local club. Your
progress will be directly monitored through your performance at regular
grade promotion examinations and you will receive full certification
in recognition of your efforts.
You'll be
able to keep in touch with other members of the family through your
personal copy of our free, professionally produced Newsletter. You can
also go to tournaments and compete amongst friends, learn practical
self-defence from the same man who helped originate the former British
Martial Arts Commission's national self-defence course - The MAC-1.
Whichever your area of interest, the Ren Yi Wu Kwan welcomes you into
membership and promises to do all it can to make your training as interesting
and as valuable as possible.
That is our
promise to you.
