Qualified in 1996 as a Fitness Instructor with the YMCA and is currently working as a One to One Coach with an established and diverse client base.

Has completed several physical challenges, usually running or cycling, for charities such as Breakthrough Breast Cancer, Action Medical Research, Geoff Thomas Leukaemia Foundation, Barnet and Chase Farm Hospitals Trust and will continue to support charities in the future as long as he is physically able!

Believes that Martial Arts gives the ability to enrich life mentally, physically and spiritually and that it teaches a degree of humility and respect not often found in many sports.

Places a great importance on giving support to all his students in their life goals whether they be academic, physical or work related and emphasises balance in life without losing passion. 

Thinks that a majority of people, can benefit from the training if effort is put in and would like to be given the opportunity to pass on the knowledge he has gained over the last 28 years.

CHIEF INSTRUCTOR SIFU NORMAN MORRISON

Normansword(2)I Began Martial Arts training at the Harrow Leisure Centre in 1982, my instructor was Mr Lee Yoke Wan.

When I reached 1st Degree Black Belt I began additional training with Mr Christopher Lai Khee Choong.

I started teaching Nam Pai Chuan in 1986 and made a really difficult decision to leave in 2000 to form Shaolin Quanshu with Sifu Adrian Browne.

 

In 2001 I gained my YMCA Professional Gym Instructor and Circuit Training award. 2003 I qualified as GP Exercise Referral instructor with ILMA, now YMCA.

 

As well as teaching Shaolin Quanshu, I also do 1-2-1 sessions in fitness and lifestyle coaching.  I am currently working at the Moberley Sports & Education Centre in Westminster in alliance with primary health care professionals to improve the health and fitness of clients with medical conditions, ranging from coronary heart disease, pulmonary rehabilitation, obesity and sedentary lifestyle.

 

As well as training in Kung Fu I like to play Table Tennis and Badminton, whenever I get the chance!

 

Martial arts has taught me a lot over the years, as well as keeping my mind and body healthy, I have made many good friends.I have  seen students improve their confidence and open their eyes to train with people form different backgrounds. I feel that there are no barriers in Martial Arts 

 

Martial arts have been a large part of my life and I love it as much now as the day I first started.
