I was introduced to the world of Wing Chun when I first watched Alan Lam demonstrating his art in Liverpool in the mid 70's, shortly before joining the Royal Air Force. After travelling around with the service for several years I came upon a class being held at the YMCA in Doncaster. The class was being run for Chinese workers. I attended one of the classes and politely asked about lessons. The senior instructor was a little tentative and asked me to wait and talk with Master (Sifu) Samuel Kwok. Sifu Kwok was a little surprised to find that I had a little previous Wing Chun experience and accepted me as a student. Years later I was to become a personal disciple of Sifu Kwok and also a fully qualified instructor of the Wing Chun art. I am eternally grateful to my Sifu for both these honours.
After retiring from the Royal Air Force in December 2000, I was encouraged by my few select personal students to form a locally based association to teach Wing Chun and related arts. Some years later the association now has several instructors in various locations in the UK, including one remaining military instructor teaching in various overseas locations. I think myself very privileged to be able to train with so many pleasant, like minded people who form the associations membership. All of whom enjoy the relaxed and friendly atmosphere the association fosters.
I am now looking forward to seeing the heart of the association grow stronger with time and nurturing from its members.
