TESTIMONIAL: I enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and friendliness at class even if your learning ability is different to other students. Someone's always willing to help if you find it difficult to apply a particular technique.
The class is run by Tom Maslen and assistant instructor Steve Dunne. Together they create a friendly atmosphere for students to learn and develop. Tom's teaching of Wing Chun is informative, relaxed and very enjoyable. Tom & Steve offer the students different ways of how to apply Wing Chun techniques which I think is very important for expanding individual knowledge and ideas.
Since I started Wing Chun I feel more confident and relaxed and every week I always leave the class feeling that another piece of the jigsaw has fallen into place. The location is ideal for me because I live about 1 mile away from the hall and at £6 for a 2 hour lesson it is great value.
Tom and Steve create a great environment to learn in. To get the true benefits from your Wing Chun you must be willing to commit time and effort to your training and always apply the basic principles of Wing Chun.
Learn at your own pace and keep training and your rewards will be endless.

TESTIMONIAL: The relaxed atmosphere of the class takes the pressure off learning. Typically broken down into warm-up, forms, applications and Chi Sau you come to know what to expect and can progress gradually. Unlike other classes, Tom's teaching doesn't always get caught up in repetitively drilling small details and he allows you an element of freedom. At £6 per lesson (pay as you go) you can't go wrong!

TESTIMONIAL: I enjoy training because it is relaxing. It teaches me that power is not always needed to win a fight. Sensitivity is important in Wing Chun because it means you can feel where your opponent is, also it teaches me that the closest weapon to the target is the best one to use as it is fast & efficient. Tom is very good with teaching his students, he goes through each movement quite precisely and will tell you if you are wrong. The price is fair for Tom's expertise and there is a great atmosphere in the class - very friendly.

TESTIMONIAL: Cost of the lessons are extremely good - only £6. Both teachers have alot of patience and will help out until you have the moves down correctly. Both are extremely knowledgable. I wish I had started years ago.

TESTIMONIAL: The classes cater for every level of experience and learning with no judgement. The atmosphere is open and relaxed with a friendly vibe. Tom uses his syllabus to push you without going too far and the way everybody helps and encourages one is invaluable. I travel about 15 miles to attend the class and the 'pay as you go' scheme suits me very well. Over the past month or so I have become more fit and have lost weight. I feel so much better & sorted.

TESTIMONIAL: Friendly, relaxed atmosphere - everyone is happy to train with others and pass on any knowledge. Instructor is very good at communicating and explaining moves, drills, positions etc. I have been able to focus better on my health and fitness since starting the classes and the location is easy to get to and is light and spacious.
Fee is superb - For the level of expertise and insight on offer, can't be beaten!
It's good to be studying Wing Chun again after such a long gap. This time round, I understand things better and am focussing on the details more, rather than gradings or belts. Tom teaches the art very well, explaining all aspects of the form and how/why they are applied.
