'I am a new beginner and have only trained for a few hours. However, I would like to say thank you, firstly for letting me and my friends join the school and, secondly, thank you for the training which you and your instructor team have already provided. The training has already proven itself very useful; I am in the security industry and found myself in a hostile situation. I chased after a shop-lifter with no radios and my team were separated and didn’t know my whereabouts. The shoplifter was very agitated and aggressive and of a much bigger size than me. I had asked him to calm down a number of times but he would not comply… He actually tried to strike me in the face but I used the ‘beggar’s palm’ to defend and attack at the same time. Obviously I didn’t want any trouble but I have only trained for a few hours and your teachings have already proved useful. I will carry on training hard as this has made me even more determined and intrigued to learn more about Wing Tsun. Thank you once again.’
