Wing Chun should be studied where it began... in China (Hongkong). Wing Chun is a system of kung fu designed for inner health and realistic self-defence. At the pinnacle of Wing Chun stands amplified mindfulness and effortless power also known as 'Nim Lik' or 'Mind Force'; this is the true essence of Wing Chun. Effortless power convinced me and I sent an email to the Mindful Wing Chun centre in my neighbourhood and the reply was so prompt and friendly that I went there the very next day. I got to meet the dedicated and kind teachers and felt it was the right place for my further exploration of martial arts. Chris taught me a fantastic introductory class. The next day I went there for a meditation and two more classes. The teachers have all studied Wing Chun for many years and are very patient and professional, so were the other students. Wing Chun is a wonderful art/sports. I can only recommend emailing them and trying a complimentary class. I will now try to find strength through balance and relaxation. Three month membership and can attend any class. Mindful Wing Chun's schedule offers a large variety of classes, also meditation which is the foundation of any martial or yogic art.

The uniqueness of our “internal” style of Wing Chun was inspired by the teachings of our teacher, Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin. He was considered one of the greatest practitioners and teachers of this art of Kung Fu. This internal aspect of the art makes Wing Chun much more than just an outstanding self-defence system. It also helps balance the body and mind by cultivating mindfulness and deep relaxation. Leading to a pain-free, stress-free life.
