Jin Long - About us
Jin Long Chinese Martial Arts Academy was established in 1999 by Master Chen Deqing, a genuine 5th level Wushu master from Kaifeng, Henan Province, Mainland China.
The main form of martial art Master Chen teaches is wushu, more commonly known as kung fu, which has been increasingly brought to people’s attention by film stars such as Jet Li, and films like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Hero. He also teaches Chen Style Tai Chi and free-fighting (San Shou / Yi Quan).
Jin Long has cooperated with many groups and societies, and frequently invited to do demonstrations at variety of events including the annual Chinese New Year Celebration at the Trafford Centre, Manchester, UK. This year Jin Long hosted a show dedicated to the celebration of 2008 Chinese New Year at the Plaza Theatre (Stockport, UK) featuring his fellow students alongside a team of Chinese acrobats. The show was a great success, and Jin Long is already starting to prepare for the show in the coming year.
As well as entertainment performances, the club is an official member of BCCMA (the British Council for Chinese Martial Arts). We have a history of achievements in the national competitions, holding medals in various categories, and also have a representative of the British Wushu Team who has recently attended the International Wushu Competition in Beijing where he was featured on CCTV broadcast.
