Winchester Wing Chun Kung Fu

After wanting to begin to learn Wing Chun for some time I finally took the plunge and attended my first class back in November 2022, and needless to say it was incredible.I was instantly drawn in by Sifu Charlies teaching style and his depth of knowledge on the subject. His drive to work with you until you get every technique right is outstanding, and when you do get it right you feel absolute boss!Everyone is so friendly and welcoming which really did ease my nerves the first time round. Now I just look forward to the next session.Safe to say I will be at Winchester Wing Chun Kung Fu for the foreseeable future and hope to learn so much more whilst perfecting what I have already learnt.Thank you again Sifu Charlie and the rest of the gang for being so brilliant!

Whether you are a complete beginner or fairly experienced I would highly recommend Winchester Wing Chun Kung Fu. Classes are always delivered at a very high standard by Sifu Charlie whose vast wealth of knowledge and infectious enthusiasm make the classes enjoyable and fulfilling especially as you see your skills develop and improve.

A friendly and relaxed club to learn the art of Wing Chun Kung Fu, led by the incredible teacher, that is Sifu Charles Elderton.His expertise in the art, his teaching and his approach, are second to none.No ego’s to worry about, no pressures, just a wonderful place to learn a very effective Martial Art.Come along, you don’t regret it!

I can only recommend Charlie’s classes, he is very knowledgeable and patient and makes sure everyone understands the details of a drill. I have never done martial arts before and I was looking for some local self defence classes - Wing Chun Kung Fu exceeded my expectations! Charlie and the team helped me build up my skills and confidence, it is a great way to step outside of my conform zone.

Great experience getting into the basics of Kung Fu. Sifu Charlie is very experienced and helpful and takes time to ensure everyone understands the moves and the purpose of them. Would highly recommend

I've been training martial arts on and off for 20 years and have been a permanent member of this club for five years. It is a great style of Kung fu, a very practical real world style, that remains faithful to the ancient principles.Charlie is an excellent teacher, with a wealth of knowledge. and beyond that it is a great friendly mixed group of all abilities and agesUCT is international, with clubs and events across the UK and Europe

Wing Chung has been an amazing experience for me so far and has taught me a great deal of practical self defence. As a small female I feel more confident being on my own and it’s something which many women could benefit from. The whole group has been welcoming from day one, and Charlie a very knowledgeable and patient instructor. I started with no martial arts background and feel very happy with my rate of progression so far. Highly recommend giving it ago!

Although I only trained at Winchester wing chun for a few months my experience there was outstanding, sifu charlie is an exceptional martial artist and teacher, he shows such enthusiasm and passion for the art aswell as the students progression and makes you feel so welcome and part of the team. I only stopped due to work commitments and later injuries that kept me from training, I would highly recommend Winchester wing chun to anyone interested in learning a functional martial art in a friendly environment under an outstanding instructor , whether you are experienced or totally new to the martial arts , sifu Charlie will share his outstanding knowledge and welcome you to his classes.

Although I joined Wichester Wing Chun Kung Fu in my mid 40s (this being my first experience with martial arts), I found it to be very beneficial to my lifestyle balance, combining a fair amount of exercise, practical martial art and oriental philosophical experience.Sifu Charlie, has a unique ability to explain the body mechanics and practicalilty behind every move we learn, in a very simple but deeply knowledgeable way, adapting to each person's special characteristics (e.g. body, gender, age etc).The Wichester Wing Chun community has always been very welcoming, patient and helpful with all newcomers.I would definitely recommend joining the Winchester Wing Chun Kung Fu!

I’ve done kung-fu again in the past and what I particularly like about Charlie is how excited he gets every time we get something right. Charlie is determined for each and every one of us to learn and has a deep understanding of every technique and its use and purpose, and he will patiently explain the same thing differently to different people to make sure we all get it. And the team have all been very nice and supportive too. I feel very lucky to have found this class and teacher, I would definitely recommend it.
