The School Of Wing Chun Kuen - No Ego, No Bravado, No Politics.

The School Of Wing Chun Kuen is a non-profiting school. Class fees are set to a minimum and go towards costs such hiring/renting the space and equipment. We are a small family and each student is seen as an inheritor of the knowledge. Classes are generally small in number as I feel quality is better than quantity, which is why no one is allowed to walk in off the street unannounced. This is in order to maintain a good standard of both teaching and learning without disruption.

I began my Wing Chun in 1998 under Daniel Poon Sifu, senior student of Michael Tse Sifu who in turn is a senior student of Ip Chun Sifu. Soon after Daniel Sifu left the school to live in China, I continued under Mike Baker Sifu another senior Student of Michael Tse Sifu. I spent many years learning from Mike Sifu and I am grateful for such a wonderful and well structured beginning to my learning, I feel his knowledge and nature is a credit to the Tse Qigong Centre. I qualified as a Wing Chun instructor in 2003 and then chose to leave in 2004/05. Although I eventually chose to part from the school and no longer have an affiliation with them; I still have the utmost respect for Mike Baker Sifu and the Tse Qigong Centre as a whole.

Since leaving the Tse Qigong Centre, I have maintained my training and have also taught privately.

In 2006 I began ‘The School of Wing Chun Kuen’ and ran a class within a local community centre which was located there for 2 years.

After contacting Grandmaster Ip Chun in Hong Kong, I was allowed the opportunity to travel to Hong Kong in order train with him and his students. I felt enlightend by the experience and found it highly educational. I noticed a truely humble and honest side to the art, with 'no-frills', no bravado, no myths or mystics just purely actions rather than words. It was soon after that point that I felt it was time to find our own dedicated location for a full time school.

My aim was to create a traditional environment for both teaching and learning. I have equip the school with traditional training apparatus so that all students can benefit and enhance their practice and skill.

Along with that I feel in order to maintain a good standard of teaching and learning each student should meet a certain criteria when it comes to good character, nature and attitude. Therefore I have kept the school private (closed to the general public) which is in line with Chinese tradition.

In July 2010, due to other commitments the full time school was closed and classes were moved to a small community centre close to Birmingham City Centre.
