Previous Training history -

My first experience of Wing Chun was with Sifu Bryant and Sifu Weatherall who was teaching Fong Style Wing Chun, Self Defence, Boxing / early MMA in Somerset.

I moved to Dorset and in Bournemouth and Southampton I extensively trained with Wing Chun Sifu Friskney, who is a  6th Degree Black Belt in Wado Kai Karate and 4th Degree Black Sash in Wing Chun. He learned from Masters such as Robin Gardener - William Chung Style. Moy Yat in New York, Samuel Kwok and Ip Chun before he started Tai Chi with Master Li.  

I trained to 3rd Degree with Sifu Friskney whilst attending his Tai Chi Classes, ultimately training with Master Li at Tai Chi Southampton who I continue to train with whenever possible.

I trained with Sifu Packnhurst Fong Style of Wing Chun in Bournemouth whos student interviewed me for an article published by the Wing Chun Archive.

I have trained with, Wu Tan Institute Of Kung Fu and Shaolin Society Bournemouth in Weapons, and with Guru Shaun Osbourne Tiger - Crocodile Pentjak Silat as an early member of the British Silat Organization.  

I am good friends with Judo and Karate Sensiei Greg Holloway a ex Member of British Judo and Karate Full Contact Teams, We trained Wing Chun together, he is now 7th Degree Wing Chun Master with Austin Goh - Lee Shing Wing Chun Brixton and Clapham London and Martial Arts Hall of Fame Member. I continue training with him whenever possible.

Over the decades I have enjoyed some training in JKD, Thai Boxing, MMA, Aikido, Jujitsu, Catch, BJJ and Sambo with various Clubs at Seminars in the UK. Meeting many great Instructors such as Thai Coach Hataisantiwong.  JKD Coach Mo Teque, JKD Coach Phil Norman, JKD Guru Dan Inosanto, MMA Coach Matt Follian, Thai Coach Master Sken,  Kung Fu Coach Chris Crudelli, Catch Coach James Thompson, BJJ Coach Richard Weatherall, Sambo Coach Vik Holti and many Others.  

I trained Black Flag Shaolin with Wing Chun Coach Benny Meng and the infamous Sifu Lin. Training in America and becoming UK Representative I learned that the Black Flag Style originates from Sifu Tio TeK KIwe - Lo Han Kung Fu. I still Teach some elements of this Style.

Favouring training Tai Chi with Master Li Xuelong , and being so inspired, I travelled to China to train with Master Liu Yong Student of Grand Master Chen Zheng Lei, Chen Village. I trained extensively with Liu Yong in China and other Masters in Shanghia and Bejing and in the UK on his visits with his students Sue Johnson in Manchester Ali Warmsley in Brighton and Marc Ditcher in Poole as well as many others. I have also trained with Master Jesse Tsao on his visits to Somerset. 

I personally prefer to train for health fitness self defence and on occasion we might compete at amateur level, but if you want to seriously train for full contact fight competition i would recommend any of the instructors i have mentioned and many more, they are great people and very knowledgeable.
