'It gives me great pleasure to have the opportunity to write a few words about Si-Fu Julian and his excellent team. Despite my lack of martial arts experience, the teachers eased my initial nervousness, showing patience and teaching in a warm, friendly and professional manner. I would fully recommend this great school to everyone and hope that more people will take the opportunity to enjoy it as much as I have.'

‘Choosing to join the Julian Hitch Martial Art Schools of Excellence in Bromley was not based on location for me; it was undoubtedly the genuine enthusiasm that the teachers show each and every session I attended. Techniques and correct form are taught to individuals as well as groups. After a few weeks you get the impression that the instructors are fully aware of your ability and how to personally advance it. Si-Fu Julian Hitch has overseen several of the sessions I have attended, he is always approachable and seems to take pride in the performance and drive from his students.
The training so effective; it is taught in a distinctly open-minded style to ensure you feel why a form is correct, instead of simply being taught techniques. The pace at which you can advance is addictive; I am now personally considering advanced tuition class.’

‘I have only been a student for a few weeks and yet I have already seen the initial benefits of practicing Wing Tsun. Physically I am becoming fitter and stronger, and while the atmosphere of the school emphasises mental discipline, the training can also be a lot of fun! The teaching strikes the right path between seriousness and positive encouragement, and I'd advise anyone interested in real, disciplined martial arts training to give Julian Hitch MASE a try.’

'Dear Si-Fu,
My partner started classes about a month ago (and has talked of nothing since!), and my children and I had our first class on Tuesday evening, I have to admit I was quite terrified about going but enjoyed it immensely.
I suffer from panic attacks and am hoping to overcome some of my fears by learning the Wing Tsun philosophy and my children are growing up in a world where unfortunately knowing how to defend yourself is becoming increasingly important.
We would like to thank you and your teachers for taking us on as your students and giving us the opportunity to better ourselves and the lives we hope to live.
With kind regards,
L, IT Representative, Bromley'
'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.’
