Combined Arts Wing Chun Kung Fu and Qigong Martial Arts School

Fantastic experience: I chose to pursue Wing Chun as a martial art for a number of reasons. One of the main ones was hearing a fellow at my gym tell a fascinating story. He was a black belt in two other martial arts (Karate and Taekwondo). He attended some Wing Chun classes and didn't understand the principles he was being taught. He told his Sifu (Instructor) about this and his Sifu told him to hit him. The fellow was reluctant as he didn't want to hurt him. However, he agreed to try, and each time, he ended up with his Sifu behind him and in full control of him. I don't share this to say any martial art is superior to any others, but my interest was piqued sufficiently to contact Sifu Marcus Watts. I had only done a little Ju Jitsu many many years ago so I came with little martial arts experience. I'm still training with Sifu Watts after more than 8 years and the experience has been exceptionally rewarding. He has a true passion for the art and encourages rounded development in a safe and inclusive space. I feel truly blessed to train under such a great man. I hope this review encourages others to pursue the same art with Sifu Watts and that you find the experience just as special. It's an amazing system with an incredible level of sophistication. I can confirm that all the older reviews still hold true.

Fantastic experience: Have wanted to learn Wing Chun for many years but due to drug addiction I have always just liked the idea, I finally bit the bullet and attended Sifu Marcus Watt's class after giving up my addiction, it has been the best thing I've ever done and has taken me over, giving me a new outlet and something positive to concentrate on/believe in. I feel better physically and mentally and would recommend to anyone, regardless of athletic ability, this true martial arts is for everyone. Young or old, get involved, you won't look back... Thank you Sifu Marcus and the Ching Mo Wing Chun Schools UK. I owe you my life.

Fantastic experience: I tried out a few different Wing Chun classes before settling on Sifu Watts school. A traditional, professional and friendly place to learn, I have now attended for two years and hope to do so for many more. Sifu Watts not only teaches a practical, effective form of martial art and self defense, but also the philosophy and tradition of an often mis-understood fighting system. He answers questions with patience and logic, and allows the student to learn at his own pace with no pressure. Highly recommended.

Fantastic experience: I'm no martial arts expert, but I've been around various martial arts, as an enthusiastic student, off and on, for more than 25 years, and I can honestly say that the Wing Chun system taught by Sifu Marcus is easily the most effective, and enjoyable system to learn, that I have come across. I would also say that Sifu Marcus is easily the best instructor I have had had the pleasure to train under, in my time training in the martial arts.

Fantastic experience: This is authentic Ip Man Wing Chun with the added benefit of regular enhancements coming directly from his son Ip Ching in Hong Kong. Sifu Marcus is a great teacher with a flexible approach to different levels of ability, learning styles and desired outcomes. I have trained here for over six years, travelling over 3 hours by train for each session, and I hope to continue doing so for many years to come.

Fantastic experience: " I have attended this school for over 2 years and with the patience and highest quality of teaching of Sifu Marcus watts I have grown as a martial artist at a pace I am comfortable with. The school offers a warm and friendly environment which all people are catered for and are welcomed . The knowledge you are taught will benefit you for the rest of your life . HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!! "

Fantastic experience: I have done other martial arts like kickboxing and karate but only at Combined Arts Wing Chun have I felt really at home. The quality of teaching is of an extremely high standard, with Sifu Watts my learning experience has been both fun and engaging. I have been learning for over seven months now and in that time I have made some good friends and learned at a pace that feels comfortable yet I have grown. If you like a friendly atmosphere, great teaching and a martial skill that can stay with you for life and benefit you in numerous ways, then you've come to the right place.....HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
