What you will learn

You will earn coloured sashes as you learn techniques and forms from 咏春 and 龙形. It is a gradual process that eventually includes several types of partner exercises including Wing Chun’s Chi Sao and Tai Chi’s Tui Sao (push hands). You will also gain sparring experience at the higher levels, through safely-managed exercises and drills.

Top benefits for all age groups

Confidence and self-discipline – Build confidence, learn about respect, safety and self-awareness
Health and fitness – Give your mind a rest and improve your body
Self defence – Learn highly practical skills designed to be simple and effective.
