Hong Lung Do Class

Just stumbled back across this thread.

For anyone still interested, the Cwmafan class did not exactly close, but moved from the YWCA to the scout hall at The Green Stars rugby ground near the beach. There is also now a class back in Cwmafan at the Sports & Dance Centre (nee Squash Club).

Since retiring from work Lyn Davies now regularly attends the classes.

We dont have a website at present but there is a group Facebook page: -

I'm a bit late to the party on this one and I hope I get a reply but here goes!

I studied Atado Pai with Wyn Christie in Neath and Crynant for 4 or 5 years (IIRC) in the late 1980s. Then marrage & life got in the way and I didn't have time to keep up the training. I did look Wyn up 6 or 7 years ago to try and get my kids in to the style. More as an excuse for me to go back than anything else! Unfortunately they weren't interested and I ended working away from home and didn't get back in to it.

Fast forward to today and I'm an unfit desk jockey with a back back working in London during the week and going back to Neath on the weekends. I've been looking for a martial arts class to keep me busy during the week and I'm looking at the Krav Maga classes in Pimlico. I did look up the class in the YWCA, Cwmavon but it looks like it closed a couple of years ago.

Then I came across this thread!

So, my question.

Is there still a class running in London during the week or the Neath area during the weekends?

Thanks in advance.

I moved to Crynant in January and have become friends with Wyn and his wife, I've been nagging him every time I see him. The good news is he is hoping to start teaching again in the new year depending on demand.
So If anyone is interested then let me know and I will pass it on to Wyn, the more interest the better.

ATADO KUNG FU

The Grand Master and founder of the base system is a man called LEONG FU LEE, who initially studied Hung Gar and Northern Tong Long. He left China when it became a republic in 1948, moving first to Okinawa in Japan where he studied Okinawan Karate.
He later moved to Penang, Malaysia, where he opened his own school of Martial Arts calling it 'Atado Karato' (Atado was Leong's nickname). It was here he met another master teaching his pupils Wing Chun and Indonesian Silat.
The name of this Master who later became his friend was DI-SUM-SI. Master Leong then amalgamated the two styles and called the new system 'ATADO PAI' (Atado's Way).

In the United Kingdom the style of Atado Pai is little known, taught only to a small number of pupils. A man called Mike James, who was a first Dan in Mushinado Karate, brought it to Wales. He became aware of Atado Pai after a trip to London, where he met an old Chinese gentleman who convinced him that Atado Pai would serve him better in old age than his strength based Karate.
The old man did this not simply by talking, but by defeating him with speed and agility, this art was handed down to five pupils.
In 1983 Mike James retired as Chief Instructor to follow a life in politics, and by 1986 only two of the five original pupils were left.
One of these two men continued to follow traditional Atado Pai. The other, a man named LYN DAVIES, feeling that the traditional system was outdated and inefficient in some areas, had been developing a modified form.
Due to objections raised by other Atado Pai instructors, he changed the name of the new system to 'LEONG GAR' Kung Fu (Leong Family Kung Fu).
This was later changed to its present, more descriptive name of 'HONG LUNG DO', which means 'The Way Of The Red Dragon'.
Great influence in the new style came from a man named Colin Morgan, a Ki-Aikido exponent, weapons expert and tactician, trained in Japan, whose knowledge of Japanese Martial Arts is great, and the style owes much to him for sharing his great knowledge with Lyn.
In 1987 two of Lyn's senior pupils moved to England and began to teach Hong Lung Do outside Wales in London and Bristol. A third instructor moved to Birmingham in 1991 with the hope of spreading 'The Way Of The Red Dragon' throughout the rest of the U.K. and ultimately beyond.

What you have written about Leong Fu is misleading!
I got his biography from his family who are still living in Malaysia. Leong Fu passed away in 1991 in Ipoh, Malaysia.
