Services and Programmes
With more than 15 years experience in Chinese Martial Arts and Traditional East Asian Medicine, Sifu Marc Webster can provide a unique experience for all levels of interest, business, or development. Whether it is team building, sports performance, improving the health and safety of staff, education, self defense, or private tuition, Marc and his team can provide a very wide range of services and programmes to suit. Marc has his own very successful Acupuncture and Natural Therapies Clinic, and a Kung Fu, Tai Chi, and Qigong school.
Marc will hold local events as well as travelling to locations nationally and internationally. He recently travelled to Thailand at the invitation of the Bangkok Marriott Resort and Spa to provide classes and education for the guests and team building programmes for the staff. This went for 8 days over the Chinese New Year Period for 2008.
Marc utilises his knowledge of the philosophies and practices of Traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine, Southern Preying Mantis Kung Fu, Yang Style Long Fist Tai Chi, and Martial Qigong. These arts have a 5,000 year history and originated in one of the most advanced cultures of its time. In Asia, health, longevity, morality, ethics, etiquette, and following the natural way of living have always been interwoven with their lifestyle. Marc now applies these ideas in modern times, and in many different and exciting ways.
We can also provide instructors and assistants from martial arts and traditional East Asia medical backgrounds where required. Some of what our team can deliver to you is listed below.

Below are just a few of the photos from our trip to the Marriott Resort and Spa in Bangkok, Thailand. We were invited to teach to the guests of the resort during the Chinese New Year celebrations, 2008. We also delivered two team building sessions for many of the staff and executives of the hotel.
Private Tuition
We can provide private tuition in many arts. This can be one on one training, or up to a class size of your choosing.
Kung Fu
Tong Long Kung Fu is renowned for its devastating hitting power. We can teach you how to utilise your body’s maximum energy output to deter any would be attacker. Our system is built on the traditional values of ancient martial China. It is a formidable system that will improve your strength, fitness, flexibility, physical and mental balance, and speed, while enhancing your conditioning, breathing, mental focus, discipline, and self confidence. The complete system includes warm ups, cardio, forms, single hand techniques, training two man combinations, pad work, weapons, stretching, and specialised qigong.
Self Defense
Use pad work to train rapid, repetitive, heavy strikes. You will train your fingers, hands, elbows, knees, feet, and head. Learn grappling, locking, and tearing techniques. We will instill a fierce mental focus and arm you with effective weapons to defend yourself.
Tai Chi
Learn Yang Style Tai Chi forms, increase your leg strength, breathing capacity, bone density, concentration, and energy output. We can also teach all Long Fist Tai Chi martial applications as they were designed to be used centuries ago.
Qigong, and Meditation
the practice of Qigong will increase your health and prolong your life by building internal energy and encouraging a smooth blood flow. It incorporates breathing, visualisation, and some movement. Qigong can be performed stationery or moving, as well as in a lying, sitting, or standing position.
We can also help you train in the discipline of meditation. This is very important to keep a clear and focused mind under pressure. We should balance any physical exertion with an equal amount of physical and mental stillness. This is one of the hardest practices to acheive discipline in.
Stretching and Flexibility
the Chinese say “flexibility is life and stiffness is death” and “man is born soft and supple, but dies stiff and hard.” These proverbs clearly indicate the importance of maintaining a flexible body for good health and a long life. We have a complete system of stretching that can cater for the stiffest students, up to the very flexible. We use a combination of Japanese, Chinese, and Indian techniques.
Dietary and Lifestyle Management
we teach the art of preventative medicine using traditional East Asian ideas about diet and lifestyle. Not only do we give the philosophies to you, but will also give you many useful therapies, techniques, recipes, exercises, tonics, teas, etc to put straight into practice in your own life.
Demonstrations and Performance
The Chinese Kung Fu and Tai Chi Academy and the Academy of Traditional East Asian Medicine are available for demonstrations and performances at your workplace, party, sports event, in fact any occasion you choose.
On January 18th Sifu Marc Webster travelled to Couran Cove Island Resort to hold an early morning Tai Chi Chuan class for a visiting conference group. We started the class with joint warm ups, moved to some leg stretches and qigong postures, then into the Yang Style Short Form. The class was closed with a short standing meditation. This was an enthusiastic group that picked up and moved through the Tai Chi form very well. What a great way to start the day before getting into the conference to discuss 2010 targets and goals!!
