I've trained in a number of different martial arts, including boxing, muay thai, and other forms of wing chun, but Ben's blended approach and focus on structure has been a whole new level of practice for me. I've never really understood or believed in the application of internal power for practical use but, after one session of chi sao with Ben (and being thrown into a wall a few times), I had to concede that there was something real there. One thing I've always appreciated is that Ben is very clear where Wing Chun does and doesn't work. He teaches boxing, wrestling, and some MMA, but always in the context of where Wing Chun fits in. Full disclosure, this is not for everyone; it's not a quick fix, it's not a cardio workout, and it's not showy. This is a long process of understanding internal structure, physics, and how to exert your body in a different way than you're used to. If you're interested in gaining a new understanding of your own body and how to weaponise your posture (yes, posture can be a weapon), give it a try. Or, if you think this isn't real and doesn't work, come and try it anyway. The only way to know is try it out and we're always ready to welcome people with an open or curious appetite.

Ben is a very knowledgeable about the culture of Wing Chun and how to cut through much of the superfluous dynamics. Having been involved in various schools of Wing Chun before the style felt different, but he truly understands a clear essence to the art. Ben's focus is more on one's relationship with self, and internal structure rather than memorizing techniques. It's a personal journey, that reflects the martial art.
