Deep South Kung-Fu & Taiji connects the Chinese Martial Arts and Health Centre lineage with local instruction from Shifu Matt in Glencairn.
Si Gung
Head of the Cape Town and Parkhurst schools, Si Gung Marco has spent most of his life training and teaching martial arts.
He began with Japanese martial arts at age 9 before moving into Chinese martial arts at 13. By 19, his dedication to Kung-Fu led him to open his own school.
Marco's teaching and leadership continue to shape the broader CMAHC system and the standards followed by Deep South Kung-Fu & Taiji.
Lead instructor
Shifu Matt began his Kung-Fu journey in 2003 and has dedicated his training to the Chang Hong system.
The depth of the system has shaped his life, taking him into years of study, travel and teaching. He remains a committed student as well as an instructor.
He opened the Glencairn school in 2014 after relocating from Johannesburg to Cape Town. Today he teaches Kung-Fu, Tai Chi, kids classes and self-defence in Simon's Town.
His goal is to help students build confidence, discipline and practical skill through the same training that empowered him.
Our Tai Chi classes follow Yang Style Tai Chi as passed down by Master Au Rong Ju, using smooth, refined movement to support balance, strength and calm.
