Teachers
One of the founding principles of our schools is the belief that all our students are to be educated to the highest possible level in the art of Wing Tsun Kung Fu. This similarly applies to all our teachers. To ensure that they are all are, and continue to be, of the highest quality it is requirement that each teacher receives regular and individual tuition from Si-Fu Julian. This training is in addition to the weekly instructor class and on-going teacher training. Especially in the martial arts, continued development and training is essential. Teachers who neglect this are not permitted to teach within our schools.
 
In addition, all our teachers are fully qualified and insured. To become an teacher they are tested not only on their physical abilities and knowledge, but their capability to pass on their skills in a coherent, logical and consistent way. Being a genuine teacher requires far more than simply having effective fighting skills or physical techniques. Our instructors not only understand how to uphold Chinese Wing Tsun principles, but teach how to successfully apply these in the modern Western world.
 
Below are the profiles of a number of the teachers in our schools, with more to be added in the near future.
