Self defence or Martial Art

Active dragons kung fu uses the hand of the wind kung fu system brought to the west by Master Chan Kam Li. Chee soo developed it further from a southern Chinese family style that used mainly hand techniques to include northern kicking techniques later. Master Derek Williams and his instructors evolved the style further with only subtle improvements to fit into todays self defence and real life situations.

Self defence or a martial art? I believe the whole system built up from the Li style "Hand of the wind" system as evolved into an effective kung fu martial art with a core of self defence techniques that are timeless.

The skills of self defence are there for everyone to learn both young and old. It is what Kung Fu is intended for self protection and personnel safety.
