Our objective is to improve standards within the style by:

- Ensuring coaching competence through participation in the coaching course
- Producing DVDs covering the whole syllabus plus additional training material
The Lau Gar Trust Fund
The Guardians will identify ways of raising funds and establishing a programme of sustained income. This will be held in the Lau Gar Trust Fund for the creation and running of a centre that befits a large, national, martial arts group.
As the fund is held on behalf of members of the British Kung Fu Association, the Guardians have adopted a constitution to provide fundamental governance principles for running and managing the Lau Gar Trust fund with professional integrity in the best interests of all members of the Association. For further information consult the Guardian Plan 2007.
