Chief Instructor, Jeffrey Guishard:
 
Jeff Guishard's first experience of kung fu was in 1975 in a church hall in Harlesden NW London. Classes were at first very large as kung fu was "the martial art of the 1970's", thanks to the emergence of movies like "Five Cracked Fingers" and Bruce Lee's "Fists of Fury." The classes were taught by a powerfully built chinese brown belt called Eddie Wong. However within a matter of months the class was forced to close as the numbers twindled dramatically, as the students, mainly teenagers, realised that real kung fu was very hard work and not at all like the movies. Jeff began his serious martial arts training in 1979 - 1982, studying full contact Chinese Kick Boxing, gaining his 2nd brown sash  under Instructor Jimmy Stewart (Finland) He began training in Shaolin Kung Fu, Buddhist Family Fist Tradition in 1980 - 1987 with Sifu Lee Yoke Wan in NW London. (Sifu Lee left the organisation in 1987). Jeff gained his black belt in 1983, and also competed in the NPC Kung Fu National Club Championship in 1983, winning three gold medals. He would not compete for another 25 years. After teaching Kung Fu at the Chalk Hill Community Centre in Wembley Park London for a number of years, Jeff moved on to teach at the L.S.E. (London School of Economics) and the Imperial College London. He has been teaching at the Imperial College University London since 1992.  Jeff became the system's senior instructor and remained with the organisation until 2007, where upon he resigned and went on to establish the Sung Chuan Kung Fu and Tai Chi System. Tai Chi Chuan training and principles is an integral part of Sung Chuan kung fu, helping to cultivate the Internals of the System. Jeff has been studying Tai Chi since 2002 with Instructor Glenn Blythe (Australia). Tai Chi classes are taught weekly at the Imperial College. The Cheng man-Ching Short Form, as taught by Grandmaster Huang Sheng Shyan is the chosen method. Jeff has also studied Tai Chi with Dave Wright.

Jeffrey Guishard is a certified coach of GB Grappling (FILA)
Great Britain Grappling Open Championships 2008 (Novice Masters Division) Silver medal.

They are resident Black Belt instructors at the Imperial College and other centres in London, Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire. Our Senior instructors are all experienced competitors.

Philosophy: First and foremost, Sung Chuan Kung Fu is a Martial Art not a sport. Hence, we accord it the respect due to a Martial Art. Students are expected to obey certain rules of courtesy and good behaviour. Students and instructors are required to show each other due respect. Egos are strictly to be left outside of the training hall. We teach Chinese Martial Arts in a traditional and sincere manner, but with constant regard to practical and effective technique. Our philosophy is
Respect yourself and each  other!

Sung Chuan Technical Advisor: Glenn Blythe.
