    Any Lau Gar people?

    As this is my firsts post I think that I'll use it to say hi as well, so Hello!

    As the title might suggest, I'm a Lau Gar guy, well truth be told I actually study (because of politics ) Lian Jian Kuin kung fu. Still, its the Lau Gar syllabus.

    Does anyone else here practice Lau Gar?

    I used to practise Lau Gar, I did it for 14 years. In fact I started off in Scotland, but now I practise Choy Lee Fut, which I have been doing so on and off for 14 years.

    hi gender

    Yes - I train Lau Gar in Scotland although my main style is Hung Gar.

    Do you train under Andy McCracken/Rab Smith?

    Nope, I train with Derek Dudgeon and sometimes with a guy called Angus (although I don't know his second name).

    Its odd that Lau Gar is most popular in Scotland, I've never met someone who does it in England (or anywhere else for that matter).

    Welcome.
    I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

    Only that MA politics were involved, something about the name being copyrighted and not being part of a certain organisation. All very hush-hush from what I know (which as you can see isn't very much ).

    Erm... How?

    I suddenly don't miss kicking lessons so much anymore...

    Only joking! On a side note, my roundhouse still sucks.

    Scottish Lau Gar

    Hi there,
    Anyone know Ian McPherson , he used to teach me in Aberdeen in 1980-1984. Then I moved to San Francisco.

    I would love to know what happened to him or contact him.

    Cheers
