# West London Kung Fu
West London Kung Fu teaches Shaolin Hung Kuen, a traditional five animals kung fu system, to students aged 14 and above in Teddington. The club operates under the Wei-t-o Kung Fu organisation, preserving the Ti Ku Sam Lineage with over 280 years of combined martial arts experience amongst its instructors.
The business serves anyone seeking practical self-defence combined with fitness, flexibility and mindfulness—regardless of age, fitness level or body type. Classes welcome absolute beginners through to experienced practitioners. Instruction emphasises that kung fu works for all shapes and sizes, making it particularly accessible to women and those without prior athletic background.
What distinguishes West London Kung Fu is its comprehensive approach: students learn striking, grappling, throwing and vital point techniques alongside chi gung (dynamic yoga), traditional medicine principles and weapons training. Rather than offering pure fitness or combat sports, the school integrates self-defence philosophy focused on avoidance and measured response with health cultivation and mindfulness practice.
Classes take place Saturday mornings in Bushy Park, with excellent transport links via rail and multiple bus routes. The instructor, Tom Bayley, is a qualified teacher bringing professional credentials to traditional kung fu instruction. The generous offer of two free introductory sessions reflects confidence in the programme and removes barriers to trying the art. This combination of authentic lineage, holistic benefits and inclusive accessibility makes West London Kung Fu distinctive within the martial arts landscape.
