Feng Wei

Feng Wei is the name we have given to the core Fighting System in Shiro Tora. In Chinese it means "Phoenix". It is a streetfighting system for the streets of Britain at the start of the 21st Century.

As well as holding a 6th dan in karate, which has Okinawan and Chinese roots, Shihan is a full instructor in Wing Chun Kung Fu. He taught a Wing Chun class for 3 years in the early 90s. Shihan's training has included classical and modified WC, as well as private training from the late great Master Derek Jones of Body Mind Spirit.

Shihan has been involved for many years in Jun Fan Gung Fu and Jeet Kune Do, so has trained in all aspects of Bruce Lee's art from the modified WC of Oakland to the Seattle Jun Fan to the LA JKD. One of Shihan's teachers is Dan Inosanto, Bruce Lee's top student in America.

So as well as a core of Applied Karate, FW heavily borrows from WC and JF.

There are also elements of Jujutsu, Kali and Muay Thai.

Shihan was a nightclub doorman for several years and is one of the UK's foremost authorities in applying Martial Art in streetfighting and Self Protection.

Shihan's Threat Response system is unique to Shiro Tora and the FW class is the best place to learn them.

Classes include: Tool development, lineups, defence and counter drills, attack by combination, HIA traps, locks, chokes, immobilisations, takedowns, KOs, multiple opponent drills, the fence, threat escalation, conflict management.

Sparring at the higher level includes karate kumite and WC chi sao, so covers all levels of standing combat.

Whether you want to work in security, or just want an effective Self Protection system, we have it all right here.
