Testimonials - WCK UK ORG

I have trained Wing Chun and WingTsun now for over 12 years in Germany, after moving back to the UK I tried out a few of the local Wing Chun classes in my area, however none seem to really tick the boxes I was looking for. One school filled half the lesson with fitness training and the other school I tried the instructor seemed very defensive the minute I asked about his background and how long he had trained for.

Luckly I was introduced to Sifu Wes Hussey, and I was completely amazed how skillful he was, and the amount of Wing Chun knowledge he had! I thought I’d heard and see it all however within 5 minutes I felt like a complete beginner. I asked Sifu Wes if I could mix it up and within the first few movements in Chi Sau I found myself hitting the floor (twice!) This wasn’t a bad thing, I was happy about it as I knew in that moment I had found a new path for my training. Sifu Wes doesn’t carry the huge ego most of these instructors do and is completely open to questions and is always happy to answer them.

It’s not often I’ve been so impressed to the point of wanting to share my experience but having trained with most of the top level instructors in Europe this was another level all together. I look forward to many more years of learning and wanted to thank Sifu Wes for taking me on as a student, I am very grateful for the opportunity.

Testimonial for Sifu Wes Hussey

I have known Sifu Wes Hussey for as long as I have been training Wing Chun, which is about 8 years, and I can honestly say what a generous, honest & highly skilled martial artist he is. Since leaving my last martial arts school I have earned (not been given) my 2nd and 3rd technician grades which takes hard work and dedication to achieve. This is made easier by being taught authentic Wing Chun by highly skilled Instructors who are knowledgeable, approachable, don’t mind mixing it up and teach practical everyday situations. If you are looking to learn the complete system, how it’s meant to be taught with all those little secrets shared then I would highly recommend WCK UK Organisation to anyone.

Testimonial for Sifu Wes Hussey

Sifu Wes has been known to me for a long time as friend and Instructor. In over a decade I have trained with almost every Wing Chun/Wing Tsun exponent worth a mention and there are many excellent teachers out there to choose from and Sifu Wes is definitely high among these, however few are as unique as Sifu Wes. Sifu Wes has a sublime skill in his teaching as well as his Wing Chun and there is little doubt that he is one of the most knowledgeable and skilled practitioners on this subject in the country, that being said he is also one of the most humble and least egotistical of them all with many Sifus sadly succumbing to the ‘legend in their own kwoon’ mentality.

I strongly urge anyone interested in learning quality Wing Chun from a true expert with a clear path that this is the person to speak to. I have worked with and trained in the media spotlight so initially had friends approach and try out a number of schools and teachers in the UK and it is with Sifu Wes that I choose to be.. I will just put my initials out of preference for my own and Sifu Wes’ privacy.

Testimonial for Sifu Wes Hussey

I have been training in the art of Wing Chun for more than seven years now under various instructors. All of the instructors I have had have shown a great deal of skill both as martial artists and teachers. My journey through the martial arts has led me to become a private student of founder and chief instructor of the WCK UK organisation, Dai Sifu Wes Hussey

Sifu Wes Hussey gives to his students not only a great knowledge of the system that they are learning but also a true understanding of it’s underlying principles, a vital ingredient in the training of Wing Chun.

I’ve been teaching Wing Chun since just before becoming a student of WCK UK and along my journey have met students from other disciplines of Wing Chun. Each time a new student from another Wing Chun system comes through our doors they are boggled by the amount of information I have to give them regarding their art. They are often confused as to why this information has not been given to them before and it would seem that none are given a reason for any technique they are doing.

Training with WCK UK is not like this at all. In my training I have been given a solid reason for every single movement that I make and am shown how to make these movements more efficient and more effective, as is the true Wing Chun way. I have on many occasions tried to catch my instructor out to no avail. A student is not expected to revere his teacher or unquestionably follow orders but is encouraged to think for himself and develop the self defence system that is best for him personally. WCK UK has no ‘secret’ techniques no special way of training and no holding back of students.

All training is offered to help the student progress further and gain a better understanding of themselves and their art. Many people ask me if I will go to China someday to learn Kung Fu from the masters there. My reply is always the same, ‘It would take me a hundred years to search China for an instructor as good as the one I have today’. I believe that Sifu Wes is one of the very few martial arts instructors who will relish the day one of his students can beat him. This is the day that the martial arts instructors job is done. From my study of western swordsmanship I have found the word ‘true’ often used to describe certain techniques, tactics or situations and I offer this word to describe Sifu Wes and the WCK UK.

Training here is true, the techniques you will learn are true, the core principles are true. This is True Wing Chun. It is with this ethos that I and all my colleagues in the WCK UK organisation are taught and it is this that we all pass on to our students.

Testimonial for Sifu Wes Hussey

I thank to this day the introduction to my Sifu, Wes Hussey. We have trained hundreds of hours together and he has always shown consistency in his training to allow an understanding of what is a very simple complete lethal defensive system. I always praise his patience and constant knowledge that always adds layers to my training, it is the detail and understanding that I feel is missed else where and it is this aspect that gives a student the respect and confidence to his art. Like most I have trained to become a better more developed and confident person that walks away from conflict but has the ability to defend themselves and family in unforeseen circumstances. I certainly have gained this confidence with Sifu Wes and my life and well being has improved dramatically and for this I could not thank him enough.

Testimonial for Sifu Wes Hussey

I have trained Wing Chun for nearly two decades and was introduced to Dai Sifu Wes by a friend and Kung Fu brother. Sifu Wes has an exceptional Wing Chun gift, and it’s so rare to find a Sifu that passes on so much knowledge. It is great to see the system being passed on via the WCK UK group of instructors, each of which is dedicated to the art. I myself am proud to teach under the WCK UK banner and look forward to watching the organisation grow from strength to strength. Having trained under Sifu Wes for the last couple of years, my Wing Chun has been transformed. Thank you Sifu.

Testimonial for Sifu Wes Hussey

After a massive accident I wasn’t planning to go back to doing any sort of martial art or self defence. My friend introduced me to Sifu Keith Collyer who immediately made me feel at ease and reassured me about training on injuries.

He is a mine of information and a very skilled technician and i couldn’t think of anyone better to train with. Six months in and I will never look back!

Training has restored my confidence and has helped me get back into doing what I enjoy. An ever evolving system that keeps you interested all the time, the sessions are serious but also light hearted at the same time and would suit anyone from beginner to expert. I’m happy in the knowledge that I go home feeling safer and a lot more aware of my surroundings, a fantastic class lead by a fantastic teacher….. Thumbs up!

Testimonial for Crawley Wing Chun

Wing Chun is more than just a Martial Art. It is a complete ‘system’ that is effective, efficient and does not rely on factors such as physical strength or size. I have been studying Martial Arts for over 20 years and to me the most important aspect of Wing Chun is it’s practicality. I had been searching for a high standard of instruction in Wing Chun for over 6 months before finding Purley Wing Chun and was starting to wonder if i would ever find what i was looking for as many of the other classes around were teaching impractical and unrealistic techniques, having worked as a Door Supervisor and Security Consultant for over 12 years and being involved in hundreds of violent confrontations i feel i know what works and what doesn’t and can honestly say that the techniques taught by Sifu Jason Lugwig are highly effective and highly practical. You will learn Wing Chun in a friendly and encouraging environment. This is pure, as it was meant to be and not the watered down flowery interpretations that are so widely taught. I am hooked and I hope that others will come along and see for themselves. Awesome class, friendly people.

Testimonial for Purley Wing Chun

I have recently joined WCK UK Wing Chun Crawley under Sifu Keith Collyer. Sifu Keith is extremely knowledgeable and highly technical and his hands on style has a way of putting his students at ease.

The classes are excellent and always varied and the approach to training is one of active coaching and teaching rather than just showing you and letting you get on with it. I would highly recommend this class to anyone wishing to learn the art in a fully equipped matted environment.

Testimonial for Crawley Wing Chun

I have been training Wing Chun since early 2013 and the art absolutely fascinates me. I joined a Wing Chun club in Purley for a few months but I could not continue due to work circumstances. I began training privately with Jason recently and he teaches me it all, the forms, the applications, the terminology and the history. He really knows Wing Chun inside out and it is a pleasure learning from him, I am never afraid to ask questions as he always has time for his students, a trait not found in most teachers! I constantly recommend Jason and the martial art itself to people I know, as every lesson is a rush of excitement!

Testimonial for Norwood Wing Chun

Having been taught by Jason myself I can confidently say that when choosing to learn Wing Chun with the WCK UK you are making the right decision. Being such a laid back guy who’s attention to the finer details is second to none you sure to gain the best possible experience and understanding of the mental and physical aspects of this martial art. His willingness to help others and professional attitude will make sure your learning environment is one where you feel safe, relaxed and confident in your teacher and in yourself. I highly recommend him as I know his motivation to teach is due to his passion for the art it’s self. He will have you flowing like water!

Testimonial for Norwood Wing Chun

I have had the pleasure of training with and being taught by Sifu Jason. He is a true Martial Artist and has dedicated his life to Wing Chun. Having trained in many other systems before training with Jason and understanding from my own years of experience I can honestly say that Jason’s approach to teaching Wing Chun is practical, effective and no nonsense. One thing you can be certain of when choosing a school under WCK UK is that their instructors skills have been put to the test.

Testimonial for Norwood Wing Chun

I met Jason on the set of 47 Ronin, and his passion and enthusiasm for Wing Chun really struck me. He’s a very friendly and approachable guy, willing to teach anyone who’s interested in Wing Chun. We trained on the set and I was impressed by his ability just get right into the zone despite us being around other people. We trained in canteen, on set, almost everywhere, at any chance. Jason makes you feel comfortable no matter where you are. I highly recommend him!

Testimonial for Norwood Wing Chun

Having always wanted to learn a martial art I decided around 6 years ago to finally do it and spent some time looking at various styles and when I finally saw a demonstration of Wing Chun I decided there and then that was the style I wanted to learn. I found it fascinating, a really clever, dynamic system that uses the body’s own mechanics to defend oneself directly and efficiently, perfect I feel for modern day self defence.

I spent three years with a school learning the basics and though I enjoyed it I found my progression had stalled and I was stagnating, I seemed to be going through the motions over and over but not learning the meaning behind them and how to actually apply them. That was several years ago and having left that school I was extremely lucky to be taken on as a student of Sifu Russ who has re-ignited my passion for Wing Chun.

Not only is he genuinely a very friendly and caring instructor, he lives for his Kung Fu and is a natural teacher which is apparent in everything he does. He is dedicated to a point I strive to emulate and is so knowledgeable and passionate about his Kung Fu I couldn’t imagine being taught by anyone else…in fact as us students like to joke it is like having our very own Neo out of the Matrix!

Anyway, all I can say to anyone considering learning a martial art, I wholeheartedly recommend they come to WCK UK Wimbledon to see what it is that got me hooked, the atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly and yet you will learn an excellent form of self defence from a great Sifu.

Testimonial for Wimbledon Wing Chun

Every class I have been a part of has always been informative, structured well and most importantly FUN…there is always a fantastic atmosphere! Since my training began I have developed some essential skills that I didn’t know I had, not just in Wing Chun but within myself…..but only when you train can you find out what it is that you have inside you!!

I have now been training with Sifu Russ for the past 5 years and can safely that I would not change my instructor for anything and am looking forward to the next 10 years!

Testimonial for Wimbledon Wing Chun

As a student of WCKUK I can honestly say that I have transformed both my skills and knowledge to a much higher level of appreciation towards the Wing Chun art, after being taught how not to do it for 3 years elsewhere.

My Sifu, Keith Collyer is awesome, he breaks everything down and is always open to questions or suggestions. We learn the simplest techniques to defend ourselves and get our strikes in the fastest and easiest ways possible.

Love it here and really look forward to my future under this Organisation.
