Last week we had a successful grading week across our region- South East England. I went to our schools in Horsham, Brighton, Tunbridge Wells, Bromley and Ashford to test our students ability and see if they are ready to move on to their new, and more advanced programs.

As I always find, our Instructors have done an excellent job, and the students demonstrated good skill, coordination, confidence, technique, and control.

The students were tested on- defence and counter attack to the cross puunch, backfist defence, hammerfist execution, head kick defence, throwing and anti throwing techniques, and gun/knife/stick defence.

Here are some pics of just some of the students who tested and passed their gradings last week. We still have many to catch up across the schools this week.

Our schools are full of friendly, sociable individuals, and we are currenlt offering a 2 week FREE trial to anyone interested.

So if you live in Bromley, Brighton, Ashford, Tunbridge Wells, Horsham, Lewisham, or Orpington, and would like to improve your fitness and learn Self Defence, please click HERE, fill out the form, and we’ll do the rest

We look forward to seeing you in one of our Martial Art schools.

Teachers Testimonial:

“Ben delivered an exciting 50min workshop to each of our year Y7 classes. They covered a variety of useful anti-bullying techniques to help build confidence in a school and street environment. Ben naturally creates an atmosphere of calm discipline and ensures all the children are focused, safe and learning. All participants left with the knowledge that it is possible to defend yourself against any person, no matter how big or aggressive they are. We can’t wait to have him back again.”

Bitten by the Wing Tsun bug!

The ability to defend my family, particularly after the birth of my daughter, was one of the reasons why I wanted to learn a martial art. Plus the actors in the films always looked cool!

Four years ago Wing Tsun Kung Fu found me and I began training with Sifu Warren Ash at the Tunbridge Wells school.
At first I found it a bit daunting. Learning a new skill such as Kung Fu can be, but being surrounded by like-minded people, who were always helping out the new guys, such as my-self, made learning Martial Arts fun.

With Sifu Warren Ash as my Instructor, not forgetting Sihing Ben Gosling (Head instructor for the schools in Brighton and Horsham,) the student grades seemed to fly by. Confidence in my-self and my self-defence skills grew. Wing Tsun was definitely putting the art into the martial!

Being able to train with students of all grades really helped my own Kung Fu skills develop. Always learning from the higher grades and passing on what I’d learnt to the new students.The sense of pride and achievement that I got every time I passed a grading was, and still is, intoxicating. It’s this that makes you drive to learn and improve your Martial Arts skills, plus all the cool moves you get to learn as you move up through the grades.

With a few years of hard work, training and practicing, and under the instruction and guidance of Sifu Warren Ash, I had reached my student grade 12 and was now ready to train for my 1st Technician grade! It was during this time that another student training at the Tunbridge Wells school, a certain Daniel “Spuddy” Farrell (now 1st technician,) remarked that I would make a good Wing Tsun Instructor. It was a thought that hadn’t crossed my mind until Spuddy mentioned it.

With words of advice and encouragement from both Sifu Warren Ash and Sifu Damion James (EWTO-England national co-ordinator,) I set up my own school in Ashford, Kent. My Ashford classes started at the beginning of 2010 and soon students were filtering through the doors of my school. During this time I tested for, and passed my 1st technician grade at a seminar in Southborough, Kent. I had a great sense of achievement at the end of the seminar when I was presented with my 1st technician’s certificate by Grand Master Keith Kernspecht (EWTO Chief Instructor of Europe and the UK.)

I have been training Wing Tsun for nearly 5 years and teaching it for nearly 2 years. As my grading’s are getting further apart, i.e. grading for my 1st technician in 2010, my next grading for 2nd technician will be in 2012. So the intoxicating feeling that I got as I worked through my student grades, now comes as my students work towards and pass their grades. Seeing someone learning, from how and the material you teach them, keeps the desire to learn and improve my own Martial Art skills burning bright inside. From training with all the Wing Tsun Instructors and students from Sifu Warren’s schools in Tunbridge Wells and Bromley, and Sihing Ben’s schools in Brighton and Horsham, as well as my own school in Ashford, you can see this desire being passed from one student to the next.

That’s not forgetting Wing Tsun itself. Learning this art can be challenging at times, but the desire to learn and engrain this art into your body and soul pushes you through the challenges. The fact that you don’t need to be at the peak of physical and mental fitness to be able to gain the benefits from the system, that we train reactions and technique over strength, is a massive part of the appeal to this martial art, and one of the reason’s, I believe, Wing Tsun Kung Fu is one of the fastest growing Martial Arts in the world.

Softness always overcomes hardness, water will always wear away at rock. Wing Tsun is the reason why David beat Goliath.

Many thanks To Sifu Warren, Sifu Damion, Sihing Ben and all the students who have helped me along my Martial Art path.

Whilst in some sense it is true that ‘Wing Tsun rocks’, I think it is truer to say that ‘Wing Tsun flows!’

Over the past couple of years I have been working with Bromley college, holding a stall at their annual Freshers Fair and we have now booked in to do sessions at their Personal Safety week. I always have a warm and positive response from the students and enjoy my time at the college.

This year (same as last) we had a stand at their fair, and myself and my Assistant Instructor Jimmy were offering the students a Free Martial Art and Self Defence trial at our Bromley school, and we received a lot of interest.

Over the years we have spread our Martial Art in to the wider community, with scout groups, schools, shopping centres, fairs, colleges, charity events, as well as helping special needs schools.

We are now looking forward to our Personal Safety week session, with the intent to hold weekly sessions at Bromley college.

Many thanks to Jane and Jackie for their support and welcoming us to the college.

Train, study, live, breathe Wing Tsun Martial Arts

Since joining the Wing Tsun school in Tunbridge Wells my son Bradley has gained not only the methods for self defence but also the confidence which he lacked before joining.
The classes are made fun and the children always look as though they have a great time every lesson. I was so impressed that I joined the adult WT classes.
The WT Lifestyle is brilliant for children as its based on discipline and gives the children a good firm foundation to grow in to well grounded and well mannered adults.
