What to Expect from ThisOne-Day Experience
Join us for a one-day Wing Chun retreat in the tranquil setting of Kuitpo Forest.
This immersive experience focuses on Siu Nim Tau and the foundational principles of Wing Chun—balance, centerline, relaxation, and intention.
Through guided physical and mental training, forest walks, Q&A sessions, and moments of stillness, you’ll have the opportunity to explore the form, deepen your understanding, and breathe new life into your practice.
Here’s what you’ll experience on the day:
Focused Siu Nim Tau training – to lock in the foundation of all techniques
Structure, centerline & relaxation drills – taught in a way that finally makes sense in your body
Partner exercises – to bring it all together through feel, not theory
Mobility & stretch work – to release tension and move better
A guided forest walk – to breathe, reset, and reconnect with why you started this journey
Q&A time with Bjorn – bring your questions, your blocks, and leave with clarity
Real community, real growth – training together in nature with like-minded people
You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your Wing Chun—and a stronger connection to your body and mind.
How This Retreat Transforms Your Wing Chun
Most people train the form—but few understand how to feel it. If you’ve ever felt stuck, tense, or unsure whether you’re doing it “right,” you’re not alone.
In this full-day retreat, you’ll focus on the Wing Chun principles that truly matter: structure, balance, and internal awareness. Through guided drills, stillness, and movement in peaceful natural surroundings, you’ll gain the clarity and calm that most never reach in regular classes.
You’ll leave with tools you can apply immediately—and a deeper sense of what real internal training feels like.
Who is this training for?
This retreat is open to:
- Current Wing Chun students looking to refine their foundation
- Newer students who feel unsure about their form, structure, or relaxation
- Beginners who simply want to reconnect with their body, breathe more deeply, and explore mindful movement in nature
Whether you’re looking to unlock deeper layers of your Wing Chun… or you’re just starting to explore internal martial arts, this retreat is for you.
No experience is needed—just curiosity, a willingness to move, and an open mind.

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.
