"I enjoy my teaching and training, and I love the Wing Chun system. I want to see it taught correctly and passed on accurately and so I run small classes of students who have been invited to join upon completion of an introductory series of lessons. Because I do not teach for a living I do not have to worry about the size of the class or the numbers of students, I can therefore concentrate on passing across the Wing Chun skills."
