He was widely regarded as one of the most adept practitioners and mentors of this revered martial art.
Mindful Wing Chun Kids Kung Fu classes cater to kids from 3 years old to teenagers and offer a unique approach to martial arts that goes far beyond physical training. At Mindful Wing Chun, each class is designed to promote discipline, correct posture, coordination, balance, and self-defence, while also prioritizing fun, confidence, and emotional well-being.

These values are integrated into every aspect of teaching, creating a holistic approach to martial arts and helping kids develop not just their physical skills but also their emotional intelligence.
