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.
