Welcome to King's College London NPC


We are an established club located in the London Bridge area dedicated to teaching Nam Pai Chuan under the guidance of Sifu Leppard.

 

Nam Pai Chuan is one of the largest and best-respected Chinese martial art styles practiced in the UK, combining what are typically thought of as northern and southern Shaolin kung fu styles in a single unified system.  This art was first brought to the UK by Sigung (Grandmaster) Lai in 1979.  Prior to this, Sigung Lai trained intensively -- twice each day, seven days a week -- for 13 years under the teachings of Daisigung (Great Grandmaster) Quek in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.  Daisigung Quek's teacher, in turn, was Chosi (Ancestor Master) Gao Can.

 

Since its introduction into the western world in the late 1970s, Gaocan Mun Nam Pai Chuan has grown rapidly with over a dozen clubs established across the UK and international clubs in Belgium, France, New Zealand, Canada, Japan and Australia.
