Chi Sau Club a full-time Kung Fu school run by Sifu Mark Spence, a Wing Chun practitioner since 1984 who has been teaching full time since 1988. We teach traditional Wing Chun with an emphasis on a unique “internal” approach to power generation, relying on the movement and rotation of ones centre of mass to generate force. Instead of requiring strength, this is achieved using superior balance, focus and a particular physical state involving deep relaxation and postural alignment.
Students are also taught an embodied mindfulness practice, allowing them to cultivate the necessary physical condition and access a type of flow state. In addition to being stimulating and great fun, this approach enables anyone, regardless of age, size, physical ability or athleticism to produce an unusual amount of power. Combined with Wing Chun’s simple, practical and efficient techniques, students develop the skills necessary to defend themselves while also improving their overall sense of confidence and wellbeing.
Chi Sau Club’s instructors approach teaching with curiosity, humility and a genuine passion for helping students understand this incredible art.
Having began as a social club over 20 years ago, we pride ourselves on our friendly, relaxed and supportive atmosphere, free from ego, aggression or strict hierarchy. We have no gradings or mandatory uniforms and students, ranging from 4 to 74 years old, are free to choose how strenuous or high impact their training is. We still also hold frequent social club events for our community of past and current students to catch up and train.
Get in touch today to organise a free trial or drop by to observe a class.
