Weapons

The White Cloud syllabus contains a wide variety of weapons systems, some of which are a part of the individual arts, others are simply taught in conjuction with the open handed systems when the attributs required for both overlap.

The weapons range from a small core which are taught and revisited each year, to the advanced which are taught to those who have shown themseves ready, to the exotic which are learnt by only a handful of students who chose to study them.

The following pages show the main weapons used and their place in the White Cloud system, but they are by no means exhaustive.

The White Cloud Martial Arts Academy is the original school founded in 1962 by Master Derek Gordon, passed directly to his highest ranked student Master Dave Cowell in 1994 and now training exclusively at St Bede's RC Sports College. Over the years many instructors have been trained at the White Cloud Academy and several now run successful schools of their own. However, although these instructors are White Cloud trained they are not recognised by the Academy and as such neither are any of their students.

The White Cloud Martial Arts Academy at St Bedes is not associated with any other school of Kung Fu and is the only place to learn the White Cloud Kung Fu system devised by Master Derek Gordon!
