REALISE YOUR DREAM

ACADEMY

The UK Wing Chun Assoc: London Martial Arts Academy runs a range of classes for all ages and skill levels. In order to help students to progress quickly through their study of Wing Chun. Students are initially separated by ability, i.e. Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced Students are taught seperatly. However, all students are able to attend additional classes that range from a series of internal seminars, martial arts courses to fitness training sessions held specifically for the martial artist. Our classes include:

• Beginners Induction Course: Induction into our classes involves a short beginners course. The beginners training course will introduce the prospective student to the principles, philosophy and simplistic self-defence techniques of Wing Chun Kung Fu. A typical beginners course contains taught beginners classes. In addition to these classes optional 'Fitness and Conditioning' training sessions are also timetabled through out the week for beginners. Fitness and Conditioning classes allow students to focus on the fitness aspect of martial arts training, separately from their martial arts experience.
  • Many martial arts involve years of dedicated training and often require high levels of physical fitness which are often an unrealistic expectation of the general public. Our beginners' courses require no great degree of flexibility, fitness, strength, special clothing or equipment, just an attentive mind. Our instructors are certified by the St John's Ambulance Association in first aid and some are also trained in oriental medicine. Read more about our beginners courses in Wing Chun

• Beginners/ Intermediate/ Advanced Classes: Following completion of our beginners course, students usually join a beginners class. From there students are expected to progress at their own speed through the intermediate level into the advanced level of Wing Chun Kung Fu.

• Internal Seminars: The school runs a series of short courses that are open to all levels of students. These courses range from an introduction to Lok Sau, Single Chi Sau, Sparring, Boxing, Empty Hand forms and other dynamic wing chun skills. Students off all levels are given the opportunity to meet, train and focus on very specific skills that will improve progress through the Wing Chun System.

• Strength & Conditioning Classes: Students of all levels are able to attend weekly fitness & conditioning sessions that not only encourage Cardio Vascular development, but striking (punching & kicking) skills as well. Beginners are encouraged to attend these sessions, since Strength and Conditioning classes allow new students to focus on the fitness aspect of their martial arts training. A typical Strength and Conditioning class involves boxing on focus pads, heavy bags and physical exercise using body weight and some light weight dumbbells. The classes are designed to raise your level of fitness in order improve your self defence ability, hence fitness sessions are based around preparation for combat unlike many gyms and health clubs.
