Healing Arts Kung Fu School
The Gordon Families passion for the Healing Arts has its roots in the childrens Cardiac unit, Ward 9, Green Lane Hospital over 20 years ago, where my daughter Jessie had her first major heart operation. And where a family friend (Grant Buchanan) introduced Jessie and myself to Chi Gung (Qi Gong). So impressed, I joined his school, and after 11 years study, I was employed as a full time professional Martial Arts Instructor, 2004 to 2009. 2009 Healing Arts Kung Fu School was formed with the intent and passion to provide martial arts, Kung Fu for health to young and old, creating harmony in the person... creating harmony in the community.
