Spear

The Spear (Qiang) is not taught as often as the other weapons but those who have been training at White Cloud for long enough will have had some experience sparring with them. The stabs and sweeps employed by the spear are little different from those same strikes used with a staff in hand and so, for the student who has already trained sufficiently with the staff, the step to the spear is but a small one.

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!
