Welcome to my page. I am an instructor in the respected and well established UK Wing Chun Kung Fu Association, and we are currently inducting students for a new beginners martial arts class to be held in Fulham, West London. Wing Chun Kung Fu is a direct, practical form of self-defense which is rapidly growing into one of the most popular and widely practiced martial art's in the world today.
Our association has been established for over 25 years now, and offers a wealth of expertise and support to those looking to begin their martial arts journey, or just wanting to learn to defend themselves.
What is Wing Chun?
Wing Chun is a southern Chinese style of Kung Fu which is around 300 years old. It is famous for having been studied by Bruce Lee among other well known film stars and martial artists. In recent years it has continued to be popularised by one of todays biggest martial arts film franchises, the 'Ip Man' series of movies.
Wing Chun is well known in the martial arts world for focusing on the use of speed and efficiency to overcome opponents, and the ability to absorb and deflect a stronger or larger foe's advances rather than try to resist them or fight strength with strength. The rather cliched phrase of 'using someones strength against them' sums up these ideas pretty well.
Though at times Wing Chun can be hard and powerful, having been created by a woman it can also be soft and therefore is ideal for ladies or for men who are perhaps short and slight of frame. Furthermore, not being the largest of men myself, I have developed a unique insight into how people of smaller stature can defend themselves against bigger and stronger aggressors. This knowledge can prove particularly useful in self-defence scenarios and artistic ones alike. Having said all this Wing Chun will prove deeply rewarding and very effective for students of any build, providing they train conscientiously.
The Class
Lessons will be taught by myself, with the help of assistant instructors with a strong background in Wing Chun and other arts, thus providing students with the support and one on one attention needed when beginning to learn a new discipline.
The venue in which the lessons will be held has strong transport links to the underground (West Brompton, Fulham Broadway and West Kensington being the closest stations, all on the District Line), and buses (74, 430, 28 and 391). It is purpose built for martial arts, is fully mirrored, containing punch bags, mats, and changing facilities.
The class will commence in late June, though an exact date is yet to be decided, as building work on the venue is still ongoing. however, the class will most probably take place on a monday or wednesday, from 7.30pm until 8.45pm. For enquiries, please call me on the above number or alternatively email me on nickrodgers1@hotmail.com

Tuition fees are 40 per month. Trial lessons are 10. After having done that lesson if a student decides that he or she wishes to continue training with us, they simply pay the balance for the rest of the month (i.e 30).
Insurance.
We insure students for the first month of their training. If after one month the student decides they wish to continue training with us they will have to purchase 'membership and insurance', which costs 50 for the first year, and 40 per year for renewal annually thereafter. Upon purchase, students will recieve their training T-Shirt, and their membership book.
Uniforms
Uniforms are only really needed by intermediate and advanced level students, therefore it will not be necessary for you to purchase a uniform for at least 6 months unless you really want to, and even then they aren't a necessity for training in this particular branch.
