If you take note of any point we make on this page, take note of this!
We know that most people who start online training drop out - and when you drop out all the hard work that you did is lost. So our number one priority is to keep you engaged. It is your relationships with the people who you train with that most keep you hooked in. So we aim to be the most engaged martial arts group on the internet!
We will release new material weekly to keep up your interest.
We hold live online sessions with a teacher at least weekly. Here you will be able to chat directly with your fellow members and teachers wherever you are in the world. You will get to ask questions directly to the senior instructors and even to Master Iain- something which would never have been possible before the age of the internet!
Do you want to be hooked in? To be part of a real community? If you do then you should choose this course.
Yes, I want in!
Master Iain Armstrong
As the first non-Chinese master in our lineage, 2 x world champion in Kung Fu, and with over 44 years of experience, Master Iain continues to uphold the traditions of Nam Yang and share them with a global audience, ensuring the story of this powerful lineage lives on.
Master Iain Armstrong began life as a boy who liked to fight. He is a veteran of gang wars and believes that his life could have taken a bad turn had he not found his life purpose in Kung Fu. He joined Nam Yang in 1981 and has never looked back. He began training directly under Grandmaster Tan in 1987, became head of the UK branch in 1994 and later founded the Nam Yang Kung Fu Retreat in Thailand in 2008—the first of its kind.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is this program for?
Our online training platform is tailored for you. It is for anyone and everyone and is suitable at all levels. Any previous experience in any martial arts will prove very helpful to you and will allow you to progress more quickly with our courses. If you have no previous experience, then you need not worry. Our courses are tailored to get you off to a very strong start.
What is important is that you are willing to learn and work hard. Willing to stand tall, find your confidence, and to conquer yourself mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Our advice: Do not hesitate. You will not regret it.
Who is this program not suitable for?
Our online training is made for those looking to grow mentally, physically, and spiritually for a lifetime to come. For those looking to learn Kung Fu, Qigong, Meditation, and more. For those looking to join a global kung fu family. Our courses teach you a way of living, and a way of growing mentally, physically, and spiritually.
This is not for you if you are not willing to learn or if you are not willing to "Empty Your Cup". This is not for you if you are expecting to watch the video tutorials and have your life change in an instance.
Our courses will explain and guide you to what our arts hold, but to gain it for yourself, you will need to do the hard work. Our GrandMaster Tan Soh Tin once said: "At the most, the teacher can give you fifteen percent of the art. The rest you have to get for yourself through practice and hard work. I can show you the path, but I can not walk it for you."
Is this suitable for women, or only men?
Any Martial Art - Kung Fu, Qigong, Tai Chi, Meditation, etc., does not discriminate against genders. Everyone is suitable.
Do I need any equipment or martial arts experience?
You can train anywhere, anytime. Our courses do not require any specific equipment or previous experience.
How much time does the courses take?
All of our courses are self-paced, so the time it may take to complete a course will depend on how quickly you learn. Within courses are dedicated lessons which have pre-recorded, detailed and in-depth videos. For example, a lesson could expect to take 30 minutes or longer to complete. It may have a few sections to it like a section for videos to watch and train alongside with, a section with some theory or information to read, and a few questions to answer. If you are doing multiple courses at one time, this will increase the time it takes per day.
Most courses also have a suggested training program, usually around 65 minutes, to follow daily as you complete the course. These are designed to build you a system which you can follow for a lifetime.
On a technical end, there are currently a total of 613 video tutorials, roughly 38 hours of content, across the 10 courses currently available. This does not include the time it may take for you to work through the courses at your own pace, recommend training programs, or the time it may take to read through additional content like our e-books, historical articles, etc. As we add new courses and content to the platform, these numbers will increase.
