My Journey

Once a Karate enthusiast, our journey led through challenges and achievements, including a 1st Dan Black belt. Guiding junior classes added depth to our expertise. A heart condition steered the path, but our passion for martial arts never waned.

One night I was watching a movie called Ip Man, as an avid martial artist this intrigued me and ignited a new fascination.  As it seemed completely different from anything else that I had seen before.

.Lewis has taught me all that i know and i now pass on his teachings , how he taught me , nothing added or taken away

Sam

Sam is one of the friendliest persons whom you will ever meet , but don’t let think that he is not good at Wing Chun , far from it . Sam has also trained under the guidance of Lewis Arnold. Sam has a long passion for Wing Chun and loves to try and upgrade people by testing their abilities to make them become a far better and more experienced person.
