Years of training: 10 years Comment: Tong Long is a great art. Going through the grades, I was really surprised with the amount of energy that can be generated with each new level reached. I particulary love the new aspects introduced to the art by Tai Sigung Dr Nat Yuen and Sigung Henry Sue (See here for details). When I first met Sigung Henry Sue, I was amazed at how much energy he could generate and how hard his hits were. He is a man on short stature but amazing ability and immense power. I recommend the art to anyone who is interested in getting the most out of themselves, no matter how tall your are. |

Years of training: 10 years Comment: After training in various martial arts since the age of 12, I was instantly captivated by Henry Sue’s Tong Long style when I took my first lesson back in the year 2000. It was the brutally effective practicality that immediately appealed to me and I have been hooked ever since. This is a combat art and all of our training comes back to the singular purpose of winning a conflict as quickly, simply and effectively as possible. The training itself also appealed to me as an all-encompassing system, incorporating not just single-hand techniques, forms, combination and weapons, but also the broader benefits of Tai Chi, Qi Gung and Body Conditioning. It is also an art that is suitable for all ages and body types as throughout the various grades and energies learnt the style is tailored to the individual practitioner, with size being no barrier to ability – something rarely seen elsewhere.The art also has the best of both worlds in the tradition and linage dating back to the Shaolin Temple and the more modern and practical additions made by Great Grand Master Dr Nat Yuen and then again by Grand Master Henry Sue. |
