    Jon.W, Bredbury, previously Aikido. Learning Jian Shou Chuan/Splashing Hands

  • “If you want to learn traditional martial arts systems I'd recommend Little Nine Heaven, I've been doing the (Jian Shou Chuan) seminars for the last couple years - you're going to learn how to hit very quickly! The teachers are brilliant, Sifu Ben and Sifu Andrew - really welcoming and it's a great bunch of people to train with, I'd recommend it"”

    “This is an exceptional school run by Sifu Andrew, a dedicated and highly knowledgeable senior student of world renowned martial arts Grandmaster James.W.Mcneil. Teaching several genuine lineage Chinese internal martial arts systems in a safe and friendly environment - the depth of knowledge is truly immense, this club has it all and much more!”

    Brian.A, Rawtenstall, experienced martial artist. Practicing Hsing-I Chuan and Chen Tai Chi Chuan

  • Geometric symbol with circles and lines on yellow background

    "I've been learning at L9H since 2017, it's a great form of exercise that can be practiced at home too. It's low impact on joints yet I always feel I have worked hard after a lesson. It's great for balance and maintaining/improving flexibility, exercising the body from head to toe. I find it a good way to switch-off from day-to-day worries through the focus when practicing. The instruction from Andrew and Brian is first-class. You learn at your own pace, it isn't competitive. Classes are relaxed and friendly and it's a pleasure to attend - I recommend it to anyone of any age or fitness, give it a go!
