Friendly Wing Chun

New to the martial art having not done any since I was a child so was a little apprehensive at first.

Less formal than other arts which helps keep it relaxed and friendly.

Sifu Steve and the more seniors are great and always willing to impart their knowledge and understanding.

A great Wing Chun class

A great martial arts class, friendly Sifu and senior students really make it easy to understand and fun to be a part of. As a lapsed student of a different class many years in the past, it's been super to go at my own pace and relearn the art.
A range of skill levels in the class means it's always interesting and everyone there is super nice.

If you're interested in martial arts, this is a unique one and an excellent class to get into it!

Great Wing Chun training and friendly club

I’m Fai from Hong Kong and I attend the Monday Wing Chun classes regularly. I really enjoy the training — Sifu Steve is very knowledgeable and supportive, and the atmosphere is friendly. Wing Chun is a great part of Chinese Kung Fu culture, and this is a great place to learn and improve. It’s also very good for children, helping them develop discipline, respect, and self-defence. Highly recommended.

How to handle yourself in a fight

How to handle yourself in a fight. With confidence and panache.
Gain a deeper understanding and awareness of your body's balance and movements.
The privilege of expert personal tuition by one of the UK's most dedicated martial artists.
After 10 years of learning Wing Chun, of which half with Sifu Jason, I can truly say it is not only practical but transformative. An ancient tradition as relevant today as ever.

A centre of excellence for Wing Chun practice

I'm hugely grateful to Sifu Ludwig and the South Norwood tech team for their openness, humour and deep expertise during my WIng Chun journey so far. The year 2025 was one of significant illness for me. Starting Wing Chun in November 2025, I have appreciated the discipline and philosophy of this martial art as I have recovered and returned to full fitness. Currently a 2nd Student Grade, I look forward to the weekly sessions ahead. Onto Grade 3 next - kapow! Matt Dunphy. South Norwood student

Fantastic!!

Russell and Steve recently came into our school as part of our Careers Week. From the beginning they were phenomenal. They ran sessions with various classes throughout the day - teaching them the basics but also educating them on the skills needed to be successful in their role. Both remained so professional throughout too. We cannot thank them both for taking time out of their day to inspire some of our children. They had the best time!

An excellent spot for martial arts…

An excellent spot for martial arts enthusiasts, offering a warm and supportive environment. For anyone considering starting their Kung Fu journey, this school is highly recommended. The instructors are not only patient but also provide clear and comprehensible explanations of techniques. As you progress, the focus on Wing Chun's technical details makes each session engaging. If you’re contemplating attending a class, let this review be your nudge to go for it without delay!

Best Wing Chun Instructor I have trained under.

I have been training under Sifu Wes Hussey for almost 20 years. His level of knowledge is second to none, everything is explained in a clear, detailed manner and he is always learning and improving his own art and teaching methods.
A privilege to be his student and an honour to be a member of WCK UK.

Great place to learn a great martial art

I joined the class about a year ago and I really love it. It’s a really relaxed and supportive group to learn in. I’ve done quite a few different martial arts over the years and Wing Chun is very different and interesting. Nice people and a great atmosphere- really recommend it whether you’ve done other martial arts or you’re new to it all

I have trained Wing Chun for over 10…

I have trained Wing Chun for over 10 years with WCKUK at Banstead formerly Wimbledon Wing Chun under Sifu Russell Benhan , He really Does Truly embody what a martial artist really is dedicated, precise , methodical in his teaching , they way he is able to breakdown movements and drills throughout the entire system is nothing short of incredible, to Taylor his teaching to newbies and advanced pupils alike, if you want to learn authentic Martial Arts the way it was originally designed and created this is the place.

It's best to know something and not need it. Than to need it and not know it.

Sifu Russell Benham is an amazing teacher. His knowledgeable and skills are just exceptional.
I've been training with sifu Russell for 13 years and I wouldn't train under anyone else. The classes are structured and it's like a big family.

If you want to learn Wing Chun Banstead Wing Chun is the place to learn it.

Come down and see for yourself you won't be disappointed.

Banstead Wing Chun

Banstead Wing Chun - I’ve been training with Sifu Russell Benham for 10 years now. He has a great skill of knowing how to train and get the best out of his students in a fun and welcoming environment. Our class has people of all levels and backgrounds. I couldn’t recommend our class enough, so if you are looking to learn and train in a friendly and encouraging class where you can see real progression, get in touch with Sifu!
