Sifu Tom Collingridge I have been dedicated to martial arts training since 1991, when I began my journey, aged 17. To this day I remain motivated and passionate about the practice; recognising what great benefits can be drawn from these elaborate systems of self-development.
I started training in Wing Chun Kung Fu in 1992 under Master Kevin Chan of the Kamon School, in London. Since moving to Devon in 1995 I have trained with a number of different Wing Chun schools/instructors including Sifu Carlos Lewis, Sifu Bill McKay, Sifu Harry Cannon and my Sigung, Grandmaster Samuel Kwok. In addition to Wing Chun Kung Fu, I am also a Tai Chi Instructor, and hold a Black Belt in Aikido. I have also trained in a number of other martial arts and can therefore safely say that I know what works effectively, and what does not.
