Our tuition incorporates a full range of skills and benefits from personal protection and self-defence, to applicable knowledge and use of the Chinese martial-arts to give modern well-being with improved health, flexibility and core strength conditioning. The Eagle Claw approach builds well balanced strong, resilient, healthy and happy members, able to take their martial arts skills and its benefits into all areas of their life. In-turn our members have a strong sense of community and family that is supportive, friendly and inclusive, helping all our students to feel part of something bigger than just themselves. The Lion Dance and Demonstration Team often take part in the local community and surrounding areas, performing and promoting the Chinese martial arts and cultural diversity benefits it offers to all. The director of the school: Julian Dale (Shifu), has been learning Chinese martial arts since 1985. He began teaching in 1992 at local community centres in and around the Berkshire area, before opening his first full time Chinese martial arts centre in 1997. After 6 years the student base had outgrown the location and we moved to our current location in Maidenhead that offers a larger Wu Guan (school) of 2,500 sq ft.
