\"\"<\/a>Sifu Hepple (Sifu Level, 6th Dan)<\/strong> began his martial arts training at an early age. He tried Kickboxing and Taekwondo and various other martial arts but it wasn\u2019t until he moved to Aberdeen and found Sifu Clark<\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u2018s Hung Ga Academy that his training really kicked off!<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the moment I first walked into my Sifu\u2019s Mo-Kwoon (school) I realised that I had found what I had been looking for. The level of knowledge and camaraderie amongst students was something I had never experienced before in other martial arts schools.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the great things that I love about Hung Ga is that there is always more to learn. When you learn something new, you can apply it to your existing knowledge. This can lead to new, exciting discoveries in your training. It is constantly evolving and changing. It never stagnates.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
