Beginnings

My martial journey started with Taekwondo, but about 3 years into my training I became interested in the current trend of making martial arts work “on the street,” spearheaded by Geoff Thompson and many others.

Sifu Alan Gibson

I then came across Sifu Alan Gibson's Wing Chun Federation. I immediately went for my first private lesson with Alan and we hit it off straight away. I continued to receive private training for about 6 months and then joined Alan's class in Southampton, attending for over 10 years. I totally fell in love with Ving Tsun. Sifu Alan's approach to teaching and applying Ving Tsun has been a massive influence on my martial journey and we train together whenever possible.

Combatives/Self-Protection

My development in reality based martial arts continued when I found out that Urban Combatives Founder Lee Morrison was teaching a three hour workshop once a month in Southampton. I went along and it was a baptism of fire. I attended the workshops every month for about two years and also attended many seminars hosted by Lee. I have also attended numerous other seminars with world class coaches such as Al Peasland, Jamie Clubb, Matty Evans and Tony Somers, to name a few.

Sifu Cliff Au Yeung

In November 2015 I had the honour of organised my first UK Workshop with Sifu Cliff Au Yeung accompanied by Sifu Asiatic from UFA Ving Tsun in Canada, the workshop was a complete success. During that time I was fortunate enough to receive private tuition from my Sibak Gung Cliff and continue this private tuition each time Sibak Gung is in the UK.

In 2016 it was time for Sifu Cliff and Sifu Asiatic to return to the UK! So I organised my second WSLVT Workshop. Again it was a massive success with everyone training hard and learning so much. I also received hours of private tuition from my Sibak Gung Cliff with him checking my forms and understanding of his system. I now consider him a close friend and I am honoured to pass on what he has taught me to my students.

My training in the SIfu Cliff method continued in 2017 and 2018 with more visits, seminars and private training with Sifu Cliff.

UK Representative

I am now honoured to be the UK Representative for Sifu Cliff Au Yeung and I continue to be a perpetual student of my beloved Ving Tsun and whatever I learn I will always pass down to my students.
