The Wing Chun School Peckham

Located in Peckham, London, The Wing Chun School Peckham is a traditional martial arts school that aims to maintain high standards in the art of Wing Chun. Combining old school principles with new school methods, the school understands the evolution of martial arts and adapts accordingly while still upholding its traditions. Students at The Wing Chun School have the opportunity to experience how Kung fu is taught in China, practising their art with traditional Chinese etiquette.

At The Wing Chun School Peckham, the emphasis is not only on learning the art of Wing Chun but also on guiding martial artists on their journey of self-discovery. The school believes that “a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step”, emphasising personal growth and development through the practise of Wing Chun.

Wing Chun is a fighting system that focuses primarily on close-range combat. With principles of efficiency and directness, practitioners learn to strike effectively from close contact positions. The school also teaches short and long-range weapons, allowing students to broaden their skills and knowledge.

The school is located at various locations in London, including ILFORD Frenford Clubs on The Drive IG1 3PS and PECKHAM Tenants Association on 75a Pennack Road SE15 5DD. Those interested can schedule a 30-minute visit to either location to observe classes, ask questions, and determine if The Wing Chun School Peckham is the right fit for them.
