Welcome to Midlands Wing Chun

The Midlands Wing Chun schools are a part of the UK Wing Chun Kung Fu Assoc.

The Midlands schools were founded over over 20 years ago by Master Abid Mahmood (retired).

With Branches in Leicester, Nottingham, Halesowen and more locations, the group is growing steadily.

The Midlands Wing Chun area is now overseen by Master James Sinclair who has been training for more than 45 years.

The Midlands Wing Chun regional schools offer the perfect location for all martial art students from beginners to advanced.

There are many classes for all levels and you will neither be pushed too hard nor held back by content interruption form beginners. This has been the policy of the UK Wing Chun Kung Fu Assoc. since its inception in 1985.

It is the UKWCKFA policy to try to have separate classes for students of different levels.

Advanced students can train in the lower level classes and are willing and able to assist those with less experience.   The less experienced students do not train in advanced level classes.

This simple and effective policy ensures that we always get progression, with Advanced students able to assist those with less experience, but not being held back.  They stilll feel valued.

James Sinclar is the Founder and Chief Instructor of the prestigious UK Wing Chun Kung Fu Association. he founded the group on 17th October 1985 and the it has grown form strength to strength. It still produces the leading Wing Chun teachers and practitioners.

Just a quick look back to one of the frequent visits we used to make to the Midands Wing Chun HQ run by Master Abid Mahmood. Master Abid closed the school and retired during the pandemic, but left a lasting legacy, positively influencing so many lives.We can look back fondly at many shared years of memories and great training experiences. James Sinclair took over the Leicester based branch and teaches there on Monday evenings. We shall soon be enrolling new students to this growing class. #wingchun #wingchunrayleigh #wingchunleicester #wingchunbedford ... See MoreSee Less

As stated we are keeping some clips very short.If you like how we present the Art and would like to see more please take the briefest of moments to hit the ‘like’ button. It is modern way to be polite and say thanks….This is a tiny extract from a 40 minute discussion by James Sinclair explaining why #wingchun Chi Sau has utility in real fighting. The human arms can only articulate in particular ways. So when you adopt a clinch or close contact position (Chi Sau) there are very few shapes that are possible.It is the ball and socket joint of the shoulder where most of the variability comes from in arm strikes. And strangely enough the character for Bong Sau relates to the shoulder. Maybe they were onto something! Some people are stuck in their way of thinking and cannot get past the lessons of a teacher who may have had little to no experience in applying the skills outside of a classroom. Chi Sau can certainly be fun when two practitioners of the Art practice. However, there is also a valuable skillset for self defence and fighting held within, and that should not be overlooked. Like all #martialarts Wing Chun is often too clever for its own good. What do we mean by this? In Chi Sau we can develop fabulously intricate and subtle 'clever' skills and skilful attacks that would never arise in a fight with a non Wing Chun stylist. However, this is what's makes up the' Art' of the system and is by far what most Wing Chun students enjoy. Not everyone wishes to train to fight for years on end. Martial Artists usually grow past the phase of training purely for self defence. Casual and inexperienced observes then believe martial arts don't help in self defence when seeing fancy artistic skills. And in part they are right.....! It is the basics that are the most important. Do not lose sight of the importance of keeping a good 'simple' skillset. Don't let the 'Art of dealing with the Art' delude you into thinking that these 'fancy skills' have a place in a fight and you are, therefore, more capable of fighting than you really are. This is pretty much true of all styles.As this is such a tiny extract from a far longer discussion, it can be so easily misinterpreted. We do hope that you get the 'gist' of what was intended. If you had the stamina to actually read the post, above, and not just skip to the short video, we thank you. This gives us hope for the human species!!!
