 This week the Motivated Martial Artists Jackson White and Gavin Cook talk to  4th Degree Black Sash in Lau Gar Kung Fu, 7th Degree Black Belt in Kickboxing, England Team Coach for The World Kickboxing Council and chief instructor at North West Chinese kickboxing Chris Boughey!

Chris began his martial arts career back in 1977 when he trained in Lau Gar Kung Fu with some of Lau’s finest instructors including Clive Parkinson and Humphrey Broomes. He eventually went on to train for many years with Lau’s founder and chief instructor Master Jeremy Yau.

A move to the North West of England prompted Chris to host many courses with some of the world’s leading martial artist such as Bill Wallace and Joe Lewis. In this way, introducing his students to new approaches as he continued to search out new methods to improve his training and teaching. An approach which continues to this day.

Acknowledged as one of the country’s best heavyweight fighters, Chris has represented his country both nationally and internationally, notching up over one hundred competitive bouts. Chris was a founder member of the now legendary multi –style fighting squad The Warriors who took on every challenge in their own inimitable way.

Chris’ achievements in the competitive arena are well documented in the martial arts press and he is regularly seen in publications such as Martial Arts Illustrated and Fighters both on front cover articles and in his own well received columns Back to Basics and The Learning Curve.

The Association which Chris founded over fifteen years ago continues to grow from strength to strength with well over 150 Black belts taught personally by Chris. Clubs in the region have expanded all over the North West now producing several World Champions within their ranks.

Tune in this week to hear some legendary stories from this martial arts expert!
