About Shkar

Shkar Sharif is the founder and head instructor of Kung Fu Zone in London and the author of Understanding Kung Fu: Demystifying Traditional Concepts and San Zhan: South Shaolin’s Path to Mastery. With over twenty-five years of continuous training, teaching, and research, he represents a rare blend of practical fighting skill, traditional study, and internal cultivation.

His core disciplines include the White Crane System and Taizuquan, known as Tiger Crane Combination and the rare White Crane Soft Fist (Shuang Yang), supported by training in Yang-style Taijiquan, Baguazhang, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. This breadth allows him to approach martial arts not as isolated styles, but as complementary methods for developing structure, power, adaptability, and awareness.

Beyond technique, Shkar has devoted decades to studying the internal principles, classical theory, and contemplative traditions that underpin authentic martial arts training. His teaching emphasises direct experience, disciplined practice, and the gradual refinement of body and mind over time.
