# Tianlong Temple - The Beverley Dragons School of Kung Fu
Tianlong Temple is a martial arts and meditation school based in Yorkshire, offering traditional Chinese kung fu training to the local community. Led by Sifu Neil Brown (now based in Bridlington), the school specialises in Celestial Dragon Temple Boxing and Feng Shou (Hand of the Wind) kung fu, combining practical martial arts instruction with meditation practice.
The school serves individuals seeking self-defence skills, mental discipline and physical wellbeing through authentic kung fu training. Their student base ranges from beginners to advanced practitioners interested in traditional Chinese martial arts philosophy alongside combat techniques.
What distinguishes Tianlong Temple is their holistic approach—integrating meditation with martial arts rather than treating them as separate disciplines. The school operates under clear ethical principles, encapsulated in their motto "Valour, Honour, Compassion, Justice," and explicitly rejects any association with violence or harm to society. This demonstrates a commitment to martial arts as a path for personal development rather than aggression.
Their credibility is strengthened by official recognition from the Amateur Martial Association, the UK's largest multi-style martial arts organisation, achieved in 2010. The school's connection to notable figures like honorary member Rachel Grant adds further prestige. By grounding their teaching in traditional kung fu lineage whilst maintaining modern ethical standards, Tianlong Temple offers a principled alternative to generic fitness-focused martial arts instruction, appealing to those seeking authentic training with philosophical depth.
