What is Kherliang Tibetan Kung fu Style?
Kherliang Tibetan Kung Fu is a really old family style that bears the effigy of the dragon. It has been handed down from generation to generation in Master Jade's family. This ancient style combines influences from Tibetan, Chinese and Mongolian Kung Fu as well as the Dragon style . It is practised bare hand or with traditional weapons that each have their own nature and help strengthening different parts of the body.
When practicing with the double sword, attention is mostly given to posture and grace while the stick calls for focus on coordination. Animal styles such as Dragon, Tiger, Snake, Drunk, Crane are part of Tibetan Kung Fu and offer movements and techniques that match different types of bodies and personalities.
The principles soft and quickly- soft and strong, strong and quickly, reserved and advance. Kherliang style such as the traditional family style and another style.

TESTIMONIALS
I came to Chiang Mai about a year ago and started to study Kung Fu at Kung Fu Chiang Mai with Master Jade. I was so impressed by his approach that I decided to stay in Chiang Mai for a couple of years and study with him and Master Kai. For Jade, Kung Fu is much more than a self-defense or fighting technique. He sees Kung Fu everywhere and always makes comparisons between Kung Fu and real life. After studying with him for over a year, I am still astonished at his knowledge and understanding. Jade often tells me “The basics are the more important. Learn them well and then you can learn all forms easily and truly master them. Jade’s teachings are personalised, his approach is different with each person and he is equally good at teaching beginners, as he is to teach high-style. For me, studying with him has been a life-changing experience.
Dominique Côté
Great detail in knowledge of technique. Even the simple form have many use inside one may not even realise if train at another school. Master Jade is an excellent teacher, communicates well in english and tailors the methods to suit each student. Excellent all round. Thank you. I study teacher training course and am very happy.
Marcus Willies
I recently signed up for a week long intensive taught by one of Master Jade’s teachers, Ton. Ton is wise beyond his years. He not only taught me some basic forms but he also taught me how to apply the principles in real life. I learned so much from him and by the end of the week, I had a new profound sense of self confidence and a new love for Kung Fu. Mind you I am an older woman who never took a class in Kung Fu before. I strongly recommend this school!
