At Appletree Wing Chun we practice following the Ip Man Lineage with Sifu Paul Roughead.
Sifu Paul Roughead has been studying and training in martial arts for over 30 years, primarily in Wing Chun Kung Fu but has also trained and been influenced by other Chinese Boxing styles.
We are always looking to find ways of using Wing Chun Kung Fu in a practical, useful way in both its application martially - in violent situations, but also to use the simplicity of the system in our everyday lives and interactions.
Our aim is not to fight; not to struggle in any perceived conflict, whether this is in a physical, violent sense or dealing with stressors in our everyday life.
We want to approach any situation the same way, with calmness and an intention to move beyond the things that we'd otherwise struggle with.
At Appletree Wing Chun you will find us practising with relaxation and seeking improvement through investigating the forms as a means to self educate, not through any other repetition and drilling. Our aim is to avoid adding, instead to remain true to the essence of Wing Chun as a direct, simplified idea.
