About - Sifu

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

 

 Fluent in Cantonese, he regularly returns to further his studies in ‘Hap Kune’, ‘Taiji’, and ‘Hung Kune’.

 

In 1996, he opened the ‘Rising Crane Centre’ where he teaches Kung Fu and Taiji and runs a clinic of traditional Chinese acupuncture. 

 

He has taught martial arts around the world including Europe, Asia, America and the Middle East.

 

He is a graduate of the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, a member of the ‘British Acupuncture Council’ and served as the technical director for traditional kung fu to the ‘British council for Chinese martial arts’ for seven years, during which time he coached six national champions and had students win medals in Europe, Hong Kong and China. 

 

His sincere wish is to help his students reach their highest potential by teaching to the same exacting standards as he learned in China, while incorporating modern, scientific principles of coaching and physical training.
