Wing Chun Residential Weekend on Guernsey Fri 20th – Sun 22nd September. Open to everyone regardless of experience. 12 hours of training over the weekend with Sifu Tom Collingridge. To ensure we have a viable trip we need confirmed bookings by Friday 21st June. Please contact us for full details and costs.
We’re off to Portugal to train with Grandmaster Samuel Kwok – so all classes are cancelled for two weeks (8th-19th April). Classes will resume as normal w/c 22nd April.

A great way to start the New Year:
Please note that the next Devon Wing Chun Seminars will be taking place on Saturday 10th November at the Sidwell Street Methodist Church Hall, Exeter.
Both workshops are suitable for all students, and will greatly enhance your Wing Chun understanding and skill. The cost of each seminar is £20. £10 deposit to be paid by 31st October.
Wing Chun Wooden Dummy (10.00am-1.00pm)
This seminar will introduce students to the use of the Wing Chun Wooden Dummy. Students will learn dummy exercises that improve coordination, structure, economical movement, and use of power. Students will then be taught the Dummy Form and applications; beginners will start to learn the choreography, whilst experienced dummy practitioners will improve their form and technique.
Wing Chun Knives & Pole (2.30pm – 5.30pm)
The practice of the Knives and Pole are an essential requirement of the system. This practice will develop students arm, leg and core strength, whilst also developing the ability to transmit force beyond the reach of the arms. The Knives & Pole work also give the Wing Chun practitioner unique footwork and strategy for long to mid-range fighting technique. This seminar will include Drills, Knife versus Pole techniques, and Form Work.
All students of Devon Wing Chun are welcome to attend regardless of experience.
Very many congratulations to Devon Wing Chun Student Kris and his new wife, Julie Sum, on their recent wedding.
The weekly class schedule has changed slightly. Please check the calendar on the classes page for full details.
Wing Chun Events
Unfortunately there wasn’t sufficient interest in the Guernsey trip for it to go ahead. We are however planning a full day of training instead, so keep Saturday 21st September free.
Other dates to remember are our forthcoming assessments and seminars with Sifu Bill McKay on Sunday 28th July and Sunday 10th November.
