WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY..

"Wing Chun is a martial arts that suits people of all ages. I particularly like Wan Kam Leung Practical Wing Chun is because it is conceptual, structural and very practical.
The huge and rich combination of various moves make it very effective to both defend and attack.
Sifu Jack knows Wing Chun from back to front and he is very patient in demonstrating and explaining each move to his students. This Wing Chun family has friendly and helpful Sifu and instructors that make me go to the classes every week. I wish I could have joined this school much earlier.
I would highly recommend anyone who wants to learn serious kung fu to this school and linage of Wing Chun. "
~Victor Lo

"I have trained in a few other martial arts styles for many years, whilst all schools are unique in their approach to training, Practical Wing Chun makes learning the art of Wing Chun extremely accessible. Sifu Jack has done this by cultivating a warm, supportive, and family-like culture where self-improvement is done through helping others.
Sifu Jack and the instructors all emphasise application and concepts making every technique you learn highly relevant and useful. This school doesn't just make better martial artists, they make better people as the culture of the school is just as important as the techniques.
~Chris Wong

PwC is a club but it could also be listed under ‘second family’ It’s a supportive environment that teaches much more than martial arts. It teaches patience, respect, discipline and humility. Fantastic environment. Well recommended.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do I sign up ?
To sign up, please click the "BOOK TRIAL" icon above. It will take you to the booking page.
Please take the time to read through the remaining FAQ.
The teachings of Chinese culture and humility is emphasised at our school. The 2 sessions also allows Sifu and instructors to examine whether the students are respectful and willing to obey our code of conduct. Not everyone gets the opportunity to train at our school. But a rule of thumb, if you are friendly, you are welcome :)
We agree that money can buy a lot of things, but not everything and definitely not Kung fu at our school. You will be expected to be humble, train hard and earn your Kung fu the hard old fashion way.
What should I bring with me the first time ?
Please wear normal comfortable gym wear and a pair of sneakers to training. It is also a good idea to bring a bottle of water and a towel.
As a basic courtesy, please arrive at least 15 minutes before we start so that we have enough time to fill out basic disclaimer forms.
Can I come in and watch ?
Adult:
We used to but unfortunately due to lost of properties incidents in the past, we do not offer non members to sit & watch anymore. Also Covid has changed things a bit at our school. We now run a Covid-Safe plan and we will need to record full details of everyone who enters the club. It is easier to book in a trial class so we have enough instructors to handle the additional paper work. Booking Page Link
Children:
As above but if you have young children and they are a bit shy. They are welcome to come and watch the class outside of the school. (Covid Safe)
Wing Chun is a close range combat system. Techniques are repetition training for muscle memory. It is not as exciting to watch compared to comabating sports. We therefore highly recommend trying out introductory classes to physically experience the training and the vibe of the school. An interesting fact is that 80% of the people who attended the introductory beginner’s class enrolled with us.
What is the Beginners introductory sessions for ?
They are for people who are interested in our Wing Chun, but not really sure if this will suit them. Some martial arts schools will try and lock students in with a long contract on their first session. This is not how we operate. We believe if you like our Wing Chun, you will come back.
If you know what you want and wish to sign up direclty, you are welcome to contact us directly.
Who should NOT be coming to our class ?
2. If you are currently training with another school, stay loyal to your Sifu. If you have questions about Wing Chun, you should always seek answers from your Sifu first. If you then decide to switch schools, you are welcome to try our trial class and see if it suits you.
3. If you are not from an associated branch of WKL Practical Wing Chun. You will most likely be asked to start from the basics again. Your martial art experience from the past will help accelerate your learning, but you will be expected to re-do the empty hand forms. If this does not suit you, we advise you not to come and search for a similar lineage in your area.
4. If you have a big ego and wish to prove to yourself that your martial art system is better. This school does not suit you. Wing Chun is a self defence system; it is about protecting yourself and the people you care about in a harmonious way. We have no place for bullies here.
5. People who are impolite and have no manners are not welcome at our school.
Do you do casual trainings ?
No. We are not a combat sport club. Repetition is required for muscle memory for Wing Chun training.
