Welcome to Kung Fu Suffolk, the home of EWTO WingTsun in the East of England. Part of the European WingTsun Organisation (EWTO), our WingTsun instructors in Suffolk have undergone rigourous training to acheive higher grade self-defence instructor certification.
"Martial arts training is a journey, for me one that's lasted more than 30 years. Each step you take reveals another spectacular view of the road ahead! While self-defence is a serious subject, training has to be fun and engaging - and one that keeps people coming back for more."
"Having trained in martial arts for over 20 years, I always find new things to learn and have fun on a journey that never ends. And one that, most importantly, gives you self-defence skills you need every day. I hope my teaching gives people a better perspective on martial arts."

WingTsun is a classic martial art based on Yip Man's Hong Kong style and was brought to Europe by the late Grandmaster Professor Keith Kernspecht.
Kung Fu Essex's class structure follows three steps:
Learning the forms: Siu Nim Tau, Chum Kiu, Biu Tze and Wooden Dummy
Adapting the movement by means of ChiSao exercises
The application of these movements for self-defence and fighting.
Martial arts can make you confident in every situation. With WingTsun, you learn to defend yourself and become fitter, more mindful and more confident.

For more than 63 years, the late Grandmaster Professor Keith Kernspecht sought to explore, understand and improve WingTsun. His legacy is the essence of it: “Magic Hands” - a combination of combat logic, biomechanics and energy theory, enriched with elements from the wrestling, Kyokushin full contact karate and nine inner styles.
The approach does not require any learning of fixed movements and is an excellent melee combat supplement for boxers, grapplers, aikidoka, karateka, tai chi and chi Gung practitioners.
Adult classes with Kung Fu Essex incorporate elements of Magic Hands into our WingTsun teaching.
