Kung Fu Foundations.

Perhaps you have purchased courses or videos before, but not been able to follow along or commit? Or you want to join a professional school, but there is none in your area, or the class timetable doesn't suit your schedule?


I have been thinking of the best way to teach online- after over 35 years of being a professional instructor with 30 years owning my own full time academy- I have finally figured it out!

This course is divided into 12 lessons with over 30 videos. I have included the entire first level of the Rising Crane Kung Fu Curriculum including:

Warm ups and stretching.

Chi Kung Exercises.

Stance training, stepping and footwork exercises.

The 14 hand techniques of Hap Ga Kung Fu.

Basic kicks and kick training.

Specialised Shaolin body conditioning exercises.

The course is SELF PACED, so there is no pressure to keep up with a group, or to be held back. You repeat each lesson until you feel you have grasped the material, then take the next lesson.

There are many resources inside in the course including: Reference videos from front and rear views, downloadable PDF files with diagrams of all the techniques, and even MP3 Files with me counting you through the exercises, so you can download to your phone to practise anywhere.

I look forward to seeing you in the class,

Sifu David.

Sifu Rik Kellerman

As a Martial Artist with over 47 years experience, and teaching for 35 years, I can say with the highest confidence that Sifu David Rogers is one of the finest instructors I have ever had the pleasure to meet and train with. He is a rare find. In a profession that is full of overnight experts, to see someone that has devoted his entire life to the study and practice of Martial Arts. David continues to explore and improve his art, his teaching, and of course, his students. He is a caring instructor, with a personal approach, tending to the individual needs of each student. His vast knowledge, coupled with his warm sense of humor makes each class fun, exciting and informative.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The San Francisco Hung Gar Kung Fu Association

After over 40 years in the martial arts, I count Rising Crane Centre founder and chief instructor David Rogers as an amazing colleague, and a dear, trusted friend. Exemplary in his field, he has traveled the world, training and learning from lineage masters, and great modern innovators alike. This knowledge and experience, and the passion that David Rogers has for helping others find their own focus in fitness, traditional, and progressive martial arts programs is no less than inspirational, and will always put Rising Crane at the vanguard!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Pavel Macek Sifu, 'Practical Hung Kyun'

Love learning at the Rising Crane. Very patient, knowledgeable teachers who make lessons fun. Also tai chi has done wonders my back and my posture. Would definitely recommend.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Marek

David Rogers Sifu is a kind and honest man. I had the honour of spending a few days under his lead and learned a lot even for such a short time. Great practical skills and a cheerful, yet firm attitude.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Craig

I have been training at the Rising Crane for 20 years now and still learn something new each week! Training with Sifu Rogers is an honour and over the years has become an inspiration and a good friend, the level of knowledge which is shared is unconditional, all coaches are trained to the highest standard and are friendly , helpful and a joy to know. I never imagined myself to be any good at martial arts and to this day I go for friendships I’ve grown and for the people I’ve learned to call my Kung Fu family 🙏 So if you think you want to try but can’t see yourself completely immersed in the martial arts world, then come for confidence building the encouragement and the friendships. Good luck

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Elizabeth

Rising Crane was recommended to me by a friend. As a total beginner with some motivational difficulties, I've found it instructive and helpful with staff and other members who are friendly and patient. Just wonderful for someone like me who needs to take her own time while seeing where more experienced members have got to. A nicely balanced approach, taught by people who really care.
