Hey Team,
Just wanted to give you a heads-up about Southern School Wing Chun over in Newton Abbot. Derek Bradley runs the show there, and he's got a solid focus on the Ip Man Wing Chun style, keeping things traditional.
Derek's set up a pretty laid-back environment where everyone feels welcome. There's a great community vibe, and lots of folks have stuck around for over 15 years, which says a lot about how supportive it is.
Doesn't matter if you've been doing martial arts for years or if you're just thinking about starting – there's something for everyone. The programmes are flexible and they cater to all ages and skill levels. The instructors are top-notch and really know how to work with different abilities.
Derek is part of Sifu Samuel Kwok's Association, so there's a direct link back to Yip Man. You're getting the real deal with the training here – genuine Wing Chun with all the right principles and techniques, but without the pressure.
The school is on Homers Lane, and they open from 6:15 pm to 8:00 pm every Sunday. If you need to get in touch, give them a ring on 07516 409347.
If you’re thinking of joining, take a look at the testimonials from other students on their socials and club directories. You’ll get a good feel for the positive experiences people have had there.
All in all, Southern School Wing Chun is a solid place to get some authentic martial arts training. Derek does a great job keeping things traditional but relaxed, making it a perfect spot for anyone in Newton Abbot wanting to learn and practice Wing Chun.
Cheers!
