Although considered a sophisticated art form, The Wing Chun School has adapted a curriculum suitable for children from the age of four to fourteen years old. At age fourteen the child can (with the parent's consent) opt for the adult classes.
Therefore The Wing Chun School believes that while it is never too late to learn, the sooner one begins the better the learning process will be.
Our young students are a further extension of our school and the Wing Chun family, so they are treated with the same respect as the adults and taught to return that same respect to others.
They will learn self confidence, self discipline, self control and self defence, and the promotion of non-violent solutions to conflict - which we help them understand through discussion and role play.
Encouragement and praise are enforced in our schools with added incentives for good performance in training and grading.
We believe that our children's programme not only produces better pupils in secular education but also better members of society, helping provide our young students with the ability to resist destructive peer pressure through self discipline.
With all this in mind, the safety of our students is paramount, so we feel our children's programme is a life skill that can be utilised in today's society.
Classes, group and private tuition are all available with this service. We currently have three branches with dedicated children's classes - Hackney, Ilford and Chingford - and class information is available on the Branches page, along with contact information for other Wing Chun School Sifus who hold private and small group lessons for children.
