Discover Practical, Effective
Self-Defence with Wing Chun

Wing Chun is a direct and efficient martial arts system designed for real-world situations. It doesn’t rely on size, strength, or athleticism—making it accessible to anyone, regardless of age, body type, or fitness level.

Anyone can learn Wing Chun

Whether you’re looking to get fit and challenge yourself, or take a more relaxed approach to build internal awareness, Wing Chun adapts to your pace and goals.

Street Smart Self-Defence

Learn realistic techniques that are tested and practical. Training gives you the tools—and the confidence—to protect yourself when it truly matters.

Our Wing Chun Lineage

Our Wing Chun comes from the lineage of Dai Sigung Ip ManSigung Chu Shong Tin, and Sifu Jim Fung—a legacy known for its deep internal focus and precision.

This approach emphasizes relaxation, structure, and body awareness. By concentrating on your own posture and movement, you’ll learn to harness natural power through the mind-body connection—making it especially appealing to both beginners and experienced martial artists.

What Students and Parents say about the AWCA

The Academy is very welcoming and inclusive.

I have kids with Autism and Dyslexia, so my need for them to feel seen, heard, and to have a safe inclusive place to learn something new is important.

The teacher Bjorn was able to adapt the learning needs for the kids to suit them individually. The learning certainly helped the kids with proprioceptive input which they look for being Autistic.

A calm, inclusive and understanding teacher with a great deal of knowledge, Bjorn is highly recommended.

I started training with a friend at the start of January 2024. I had previously studied Wing Chun as a teenager for a number of years. It has been thirty five years since this point. I find Bjorn to be an excellent teacher and very personable. The whole experience feels very supportive and I am definitely feeling benefits in flexibility and fitness. I wished I never stopped training back in the day. A wise man once said 'don't go wishing your life away'.

Can highly recommend this marital arts school. Not only are the people great and the teacher very highly skilled but the amount I've learnt there is unbelievable. Every lesson I've walked away having learnt something new and built not only my physical fitness but my mental well being as well. 10/10. Go and see the teacher and give it a go. You won't regret it. 👍

I'm absolutely enjoying training martial arts. It's giving me a new aspect and guidance in life. And it's very addictive.

In a good way.

 

I also enjoy the relaxing atmosphere and vibe that you generate in your classes. If I wasn't enjoying it, you would know about it. haha.
