A brief history of our style
Founded by Gini Lau, 8th generation and youngest daughter of the late Grand Master Lau Fat Mang, WECA focuses on training individuals of all ages in the traditional Chinese Kung Fu style of Eagle Claw.
In additional to being a notable martial arts instructor, Lau Fat Mang used his skill when fighting in the Second World War.
He assembled and trained a special forces troop named the 19th Regiment Dai Do Brigade, or broadsword brigade, which specialised in night raids on enemy encampments during the Japanese occupation of China.
The illustrious exploits of the Dai Do Brigade are still considered a significant feat in China today.
The roots of Eagle Claw Kung Fu can be traced back over 850 years to the Sung Dynasty, where the core system was created by General Yui Feh. This legacy continues today.
