Begin your Wing Chun Journey here !!!!!

"I was searching for the school for more than two hours going in circles around the area that was shown in map without a clue. No contacts. There is a body building gym at the same spot but no wing chun school. The place where it was, is not anymore. I respect the art of wing chun so much and I see it not only as a martial art, but a way of life. I believe it could inspire me. I felt like I was kind of lost. If anyone's out there who knows the way to reach this art in Chennai, please post here. It could help people like me. "

Martial Arts Training

"Having trained in martial arts since my teen years I really enjoyed the kicking elements of the arts. After practicing kickboxing for 3 years I felt I needed an art that was tailored for self defence.In 2009 I was introduced to Wing Chun. I knew Bruce Lee had studied this art and I knew this had fast hands.I attended an introductory course with my friend Imran at sifu Shawn Rawcliffe’s school. I was impressed with the art for being unique, fast and a counter attacking style. Being a close quarter range martial arts system I had decided to pursue a journey in Wing Chun. Myself and Imran had practiced the basics together over the years.It wasn’t until 2014 that I had to relocate for work in Warrington. There I met and trained under Sifu Jay Hussein (Ching Mo Wing Chun school) for a few months gaining a good insight to wing chun.The systems simple and direct approach have left me fascinated. I really enjoy training the sensitivity drills and applications of trapping and locking. After moving back home to Leicester the most interesting part of my journey commenced. I was fortunate to get in contact with Sifu Abid and join his school. Training under him I have found that he teaches wing chun with a very practical approach to modern day fighting / self defence and he explains why certain techniques work in a certain manner.He is by far one of the most humble and most patient instructors I have come across. Sifu’s teaching has always been demonstrated effectively.His multiple assailants drill has been a brilliant blood pumping exercise that simulates a real life scenario. It has been a great privilege to learn from Sifu as he is very skilled and confident in what he teaches. Under his guidance I have seen an improvement in my technique and ability.Helping students in the class has been a rewarding experience especially when students progress in their ability and understanding of applications. My desire is to gain an in depth understanding to the principals and theories of wing chun and be able to share that knowledge with other students.I look forward to learning and helping new students in the future.Most importantly I would like to thank sifu for teaching us with so much dedication."

Martial Arts Training

"“I have been training with Sifu Abid from the Midlands Wing Chun Association for the past few years, and cannot recommend him highly enough. Sifu Abid’s classes are always disciplined, energetic and inspirational. Through the course of my training, I have grown in confidence in my own abilities and application of Wing Chun. His training has helped me to improve coordination, stamina, body strength, dexterity and endurance. Sifu Abid is very experienced and has the innate ability to tailor his lessons to people of all ages and backgrounds. This has been especially evident with my children (son aged 6yrs and daughter aged 8yrs), who regularly attend the children’s sessions. They engage in the lessons with great energy and enthusiasm, supported by Sifu Abid’s guidance and encouragement. Training with Sifu Abid has enabled us to appreciate the amazing depth and diversity of the Wing Chun Kung Fu martial art.” "

Tai Chi

"Having practiced Karate at a young age, I was familiar with punching and kicking with flexibility, discipline and order.Later on in 2009 me and my friend Arif were introduced to Wing Chun. After attending an introductory course with Sifu Shaun Rawcliffe, we were impressed by its uniqueness and explosiveness. We practiced the basics together that we had learnt until 2014. During this time (2009 – 2014) I would research with interest into the art of Wing Chun. The more I researched the more interested I became. Due to work commitments I never had the chance to dedicate my time to Wing Chun. I would read books and watch videos and try and train through these methods instead. My friend Arif had the opportunity to learn some Wing Chun in Warrington. We would meet on weekends and practice and improve what we knew. Now that we are fortunate and have met Sifu Abid, we have had the opportunity to learn so much from Sifu’s teaching experience. Learning from someone very patient and skilled like Sifu has really progressed our Wing Chun in a couple months. It is wonderful to see him demonstrate his knowledge every lesson and see how Wing Chun uses science and bio-mechanics instead of physical brute strength. Training under a well accomplished Sifu who is humble has really given me a far better understanding and grasp of the concept of Wing Chun. It is Sifu Abid’s teaching ability and experience that makes him an ideal teacher. I would definitely recommend Sifu Abid to anyone who wants to learn Wing Chun."
