"When I first started Wing Tsun 'to learn some self-defence', little did I know in how many different ways I would benefit from studying this ancient art at Julian Hitch MASE. The quality and depth of teaching are outstanding! To my own surprise, not only did I learn some very effective self-defence techniques in a relative short period of time but I also learnt the importance of understanding your opponent’s (and your own) psychological make-up in a fighting situation.
Si-Fu Julian Hitch has accumulated an incredible wealth of knowledge, analyses and observations on (amongst many other topics) the “psychology of fighting” and, as a female, I find it particularly helpful to learn about these aspects. This knowledge together with the very effective Wing Tsun techniques leaves me with the confidence that I am equipped with some powerful tools to deal with a potentially dangerous situation."

"Since joining Wing Tsun I have gained enormous confidence and knowledge on how to defend myself in certain situations. The great thing with this type of self defence is that you do not need to be strong or even physically fit. It is all based on technique. The classes are extremely well organised and are tailored to meet the needs of each individual. In society today, being able to defend yourself is absolutely essential. Don't leave it too late! Join us now and have fun whilst learning a very valuable lesson."

"Wing Tsun is a realistic and effective martial art. It is a great form of self defence for women and those who are not as physically strong as others. This is effective because Wing Tsun was designed to use the opponent’s force against them which allows those who are smaller and not as strong to defend against those who are; therefore I found this an asset as I am only five foot and female. It is a very clever martial art but at the same time easy to learn as you’re training to work with your body rather than against it."
Della O, 23 from Forest Hill. Student
"Since joining, I feel I am gaining in both the skills and self confidence necessary to enable me to defend myself should the situation arise. I have also improved my general well-being and posture with the regular weekly exercise and practice of the Wing Tsun movements and forms. I think the classes are well structured and enjoyable, with a good mix of age groups and the evenings are fun socially as well as being beneficial."
Maureen E, 50 from Orpington. Secretary
"Being a female, I previously felt very vulnerable walking within the area I live. Since joining Wing Tsun I have become more self confident and self aware. Wing Tsun has proved a very useful skill to have."

‘Take it from someone with what they thought was martial arts training (having studied Ju-Jitsu, Taikwondo, Karate - over 5 years achieving Brown belt and 2 medals for Kent); being able to spin fly-kick the air doesn’t help you when faced with a real situation! After one lesson of Wing Tsun I had learnt practical self defence moves that actually worked! The confidence that you get from learning a move in one lesson only makes you want to learn more and perfect your skills. Wing Tsun doesn’t just teach you to defend yourself, as other martial arts claim to do; moreover Wing Tsun trains your attitude to confrontation and improves confidence as you learn, making it ideal for anyone interested in changing their mind and body for the better.’
