We had the privilege of hosting a remarkable seminars led by Master Chan Hing Gwan, focusing on the Yuen Chai Wan lineage of Wing Chun.

The event kicked off on Friday evening with a special session for our senior students, instructors, and owners of other Kung Fu Schools.
This session provided an intimate setting for in-depth exploration of Chi Sau with Chan Sifu’s particular nuances.

The seminar continued on Saturday and Sunday , attracting a diverse group of participants, including students and instructors from other Wing Chun organisations.

Master Chan’s comprehensive and detailed teaching covered key aspects of Yuen Chai Wan Wing Chun, emphasising practical application, precision, and intent.
His approach showcased techniques that were similar to familiar forms yet different in subtle, transformative ways, providing new insights and deepening our understanding of Wing Chun.

At 75 years old, Master Chan moved with astonishing fluidity, precision, and authority, illustrating the power and grace achievable through lifelong practice and mastery of Wing Chun.

His approachable and attentive teaching style was particularly impactful.
He went from person to person, offering tailored advice and adjustments, which greatly enhanced the learning experience.

His dedication to preserving the authenticity and effectiveness of this Wing Chun lineage was evident and appreciated by all.

The atmosphere over the weekend was one of true camaraderie, characterised by a shared passion for martial arts.
The seminar not only served as a learning opportunity but also as a community-building event, where participants could connect with like-minded individuals and forge new relationships.

We are immensely grateful to Master Chan for his exceptional guidance and to everyone who participated, making this seminar a memorable and enriching experience.

We look forward to welcoming Master Chan back in the future and continuing to explore the depths of Wing Chun together.

I hope you’re all enjoying a fantastic long weekend!

Parents often tell us how much kung fu has helped their kids.

They mention how their children have gained confidence from learning to defend themselves, whether it's making new friends, exploring new places, or even raising their hand in class.

Parents also share how kung fu has taught their kids to handle emotions like anger, stress, and sadness, giving them better control over their feelings.

They've also said that practising kung fu has improved their coordination, which has carried over into their other sports and areas of their life.

This is something our kung fu school loves to see.

Come along to one of our classes and experience some of these benefits too.

Renowned for his dedication to the authentic preservation and teaching of traditional Wing Chun techniques, Master Chan offers more than just a seminar—it’s an entry into a new chapter of your martial arts journey.

Chinese Martial Arts Masters Promotion Society in partnership with IMAS and Kung Fu Schools proudly presents an exclusive seminar on Yuen Chai Wan Wing Chun.

Master Chan will be accompanied and aided by Master Jesper Lundqvist, a world-renowned Wing Chun Master and one of the most knowledgeable Wing Chun researchers in the world, who has spent many years living and studying in mainland China.

• Ying Siu Bouh Faat: Master the art of using footwork and body positioning to outmaneuver your opponent.
• Heng Kiu Heui Sau, Chung Kiu Lau Chung: Learn to strike through weaker attacks and counter stronger ones with a soft yet forceful hand.

Grading isn’t just about earning the next sash; it’s a moment to pause and appreciate the effort we’ve put in, the challenges we’ve overcome, and the community we’re building together.

It’s a chance to:
- Show off the new techniques and skills we’ve been working on.
- Reflect on personal growth, not just in Kung Fu but in our approach to life’s challenges.
- Look forward to setting new goals, because there’s always more to learn and ways to improve.

As we get ready to support each other through this week, let’s keep in mind that every grading is a step forward in our lifelong journey of learning and self-discovery.

To inspire us as we embark on this journey, let’s recall the words of Lao Tzu:
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
This Grading Week is another crucial step on our martial arts path, filled with opportunities for growth, learning, and achievement.

Looking forward to seeing everyone shine this week!

Yet, amidst these complex emotions, there lies a unique, almost tangible atmosphere of support and love.

Christmas isn’t just about the festive celebrations; it’s also a time for us to extend a hand, to open our hearts a little wider, and to remember that we’re all part of a larger family.

Let’s embrace the beauty of this season, with all its highs and lows, and find comfort in the love that surrounds us.

Wishing you a Christmas filled with love, peace, and the special magic that this time of year brings.
