Where is the group based?

  • Our student group meets at Studio Movement, in the Barbican area. It is conveniently located at a walking distance from multiple stations: Moorgate (5min), Barbican (7min), Old Street (8min), Liverpool St (10min), Farringdon (14min).
  • It is a clean, safe, and bright dance studio with a wooden floor and mirrors.
  • Please note that we are no longer meet at our previous location in the Golden Lane community centre

When do you meet?

  • We meet from 7.00 to 8.30pm on Wednesdays

What should I expect during a session?

Led by an advanced student, our sessions are interactive to encourage open feedback and experimentation. We aim to create an informal yet studious atmosphere, with three key ingredients:

  • Solo work to develop postural efficiency
  • Partner exercises to train structure, sensitivity, and timing
  • Immediate hands-on feedback to experiment with and take home

While we understand and respect their value in many contexts, practicing with the London student group does not include uniforms or coloured belts; bowing, ceremonies, or rituals; certifications, exams, or graduations; ranks or titles.

Do you train cardio? How about sparring?

We fully understand the value of cardio and fitness forms of exercise. In fact, most of us happily dedicate time in our weeks to sports. In Wing Chun sessions, we instead focus on other aspects of mental and physical development. So if you're looking for somewhere to break a sweat after work, this might not be the right activity for you.

Wing Chun is a martial art, and we teach it as one — with stances, punches, and structured partner contact. However, in our training methods, we do not emphasise "sparring" or free-form contact matches, as they can be found in combat sports training.

How do I know if Wing Chun for me?

  • Wing Chun is suitable for adults of all genders, sizes, and athletic abilities
  • Practitioners of all horizons enjoyed training with us...
  • ...movement specialists (dance, pilates, yoga, osteopaths) exploring their understanding of body mechanics;
  • ...martial artists (self-defence, combat sports, traditional arts) looking for sustainable increased efficiency;
  • ...or anyone looking for an integrated embodied practice aiming beyond physical fitness and competitive performance
  • We are always open to beginners

What should I wear and bring?

Comfortable clothing that allows free movement (eg. T-shirt) and flat-sole shoes.

What does a first session look like?

You'll arrive at 6.50pm, change if needed, and join the room in a T-shirt. The first ten minutes are a circle where each person names why they came. We would typically go through solo practice. Then we will introduce a few key ideas and concepts, that we can practice through partner exercises. These often opens to questions, peer feedback, and refinements. You'll leave with things to work on at home for the week.

How much are tuition fees?

We operate with a flat monthly contribution of £40, which covers weekly Wednesday sessions at Studiomovement. All contributions are put together to run the group, the main cost being venue hire.

The first session is always free. From September 2026, our beginner cohort (see the cohort page) can also be paid as £80 for the full eight-week arc, if you prefer to commit upfront.
