“Every style has certain assumptions because a style is inseparable from a culture...once you have a certain cultural assumption you are limiting”

– David Rogers

David is highly accomplished martial artist who has trained in Chinese martial arts since 1984 . He is an indoor disciple of Master Deng Jan Gong and the only non-Chinese to have learned the entire Deng family Hap Kune system directly from Master Deng in Canton.

He is fluent in Cantonese, is graduate of the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, a member of the ‘British Acupuncture Council’ and he served as the technical director for traditional kung fu to the ‘British Council for Chinese Martial Arts’ for seven years.

Since 2005, he has trained ‘no gi’ Brazilian Jiujitsu with four time world champion, Braulio Estima, and he's studied mixed martial arts in America, Hawaii and Thailand and believes that the evolution of MMA represents a valuable method for martial artists to test their skills, and debunk many of the myths prevalent in some classical martial arts.

David has coached NINE national and international champions in Kung Fu, Tai Chi and Mixed Martial Arts, and his students have won competitions in Europe, Hong Kong and China. In 1995, he opened the ‘Rising Crane Centre’ where he teaches Kung Fu, Taiji and MMA and runs a clinic of traditional Chinese acupuncture.
