| Lee Woodward
Sifu Lee Woodward is the
Instructor of the Dorset Wing Chun Kuen branch of the Midlands Wing Chun Kuen
Association (UK) run by his teacher Sifu Rawcliffe (the senior western student
and representative of Grandmaster Ip Chun). Sifu Lee Woodward began his
training in Wing Chun in 2001 at the Hall green branch of Midlands Wing Chun
Kuen, under Sifu Shaun Rawcliffe.
In October 2001 he attended his
first class with Sifu Shaun Rawcliffe of the Midlands Wing Chun Kuen. To say
that Lee was impressed is a gross understatement. So exceptional was Sifu
Rawcliffe’s skill and depth of knowledge, he was shocked at how his own
Wing Chun was lacking in many areas. Training with the MWCK has provided Lee
with many opportunities to train with many Wing Chun practitioners both at home
and abroad. He has attended many of Sifu Rawcliffe’s seminars in the UK,
as well as those hosted by other Wing Chun Sifu’s. In 2007, Lee travelled
to Hong Kong with his teacher, along with many other MWCK members, to train
with his Si-Gung Master Ip Chun and his students. In 2008, Master Ip Chun made
the trip to the UK, where Lee attended the weekend seminar co-hosted with
Duncan Leung, another student of Ip Man. 2010 saw a return to Hong Kong with
his Sifu, and still more of his MWCK classmates.
Sifu Lee Woodward now teaches Wing
Chun in Dorchester as the Dorset Wing Chun Kuen (a representative branch of
Sifu Rawcliffe's Midlands Wing Chun Kuen Association). In keeping with the
philosophy of the Midlands Wing Chun Kuen the Dorset schools will be kept
reasonably small and family-like, representing Sifu Rawcliffe, the Midlands
Wing Chun Kuen and thereby Grandmaster Ip Chun.
