I initially booked a four week Beginners Course at the Southend Branch. After previously trying a variety of different martial arts, I discovered that Wing Chun was the martial art for me and I have never looked back.

I have a BA (hons) Degree in Humanities with Classical Studies. I enjoy the fact that Wing Chun has a far reaching history, philosophy and lineage. I am a mother of two children who both started their Wing Chun training at 5yrs at Meridian Kung Fu HQ and continue to share my enthusiasm for the art. In 2006 I was offered the opportunity to assist in teaching children’s classes at Meridian Kung Fu HQ. In 2009 I established my own branch of Meridian Kung Fu in Thorpe Bay. It is a genuinely rewarding experience and I feel privileged to be in a position to pass on my knowledge to the next generation of Wing Chun practitioners.

I joined Meridian just over a decade ago so I could feel more confident in my ability to protect myself and my family. I have learnt a lot since I started my training, not just in self-defence but in my mindset and the way I act. It made me a lot more positive as a person and that still holds true today. I have gained friends, knowledge and discipline through my time at Meridian and I am much better for it.
