Testimonials
"Great club, really welcoming and instantly accessible whether you've done martial arts for years or never. Ben's a fantastic instructor, really knowledgeable and with a great approach to teaching."
"Fun and enjoyable lessons, easy going instructor. After few years of aikido this is the right thing for me."
"I have traveled down to train and attend seminars with Sifu Ben Ede and on a number of occasions over the last 2 years. I have always left knowing that I have improved. Sifu Ben Ede is obviously passionate about sharing his knowledge and is happy to take you to one side and provide hands on guidance which is something often missing at other clubs. I wish I could attend his classes on a much more regular basis but living in Yorkshire makes this difficult. If you are looking to learn from a great practitioner of Wing Chun then Sifu Ben is a highly recommended."
Sifu Matt has been firstly a friend and shoulder to lean on through dark times. His indomitable spirit is an inspiration and that spirit comes through in his Mui Faa Plum Blossom Wing Chun. His teachings metaphorically carry a way of thinking that has helped me in all aspects of life. Putting metaphors aside, what first struck me about him was the detail and content of his wing chun. It sneaks up on you as you think he is teaching you something basic, for a beginner and then suddenly you realise he just showed you the point of something that everyone you have ever met has completely missed. The forms are, compared to what I already know, simpler and straight forward but then full of details that over the last three decades has been watered down by many lineages.
Sifu Matt makes ‘traditional’ feel valuable again but more importantly he makes his students feel valuable again. A true Sifu and Master.
