Brother and sister share how years of training with Brian have built their confidence and discipline.
Charlotte and Simon Bloomfield have progressed through the Lau Gar grades together, both reaching purple sash earlier in 2026.
Charlotte: “I've been with Brian since 2018. I'm now 13. I have climbed up the grades with my brother. After many years of hard work I've reached purple sash earlier this year. Training with Brian has improved my confidence.”
Simon: “I’m Simon Bloomfield. I’ve been doing Lau Gar with Brian since 2017, when I was only 6. I enjoy attending Brian's lessons as it gives me confidence and instils discipline into me. After many years of training alongside my sister Charlotte, I reached the Purple Sash earlier this year.”

Years of dedication recognised as our latest students are awarded their Lau Gar black sash.
Grading to black sash is the result of years of training, discipline and heart.
Our latest gradings saw both juniors and adults step up and earn their black sashes under the British Kung Fu Association.
A special mention to Cian, who started at nearly 5 years old and — now aged 12 — has passed his 1st degree Lau Gar black sash. Very respectful, and yes, this kid can fight!
