After doing kickboxing for over 10 years I took up foshan wing chun at ITSWA in 2012 and since then I have never looked back. I have trained under the guidance of Sifu Derek Frearson, his main disciple, Paul and other advanced students. The family environment and careful attention given by this school is pretty awesome and truly helps develop your true potential as a martial arts practitioner. Sifu Derek has an excellent reputation with other martial arts masters too. Furthermore, he was trained by a disciple of IP Man (Bruce Lee's teacher). Therefore it is an absolute privilege to be training at Sifu Derek's school. Truly recommend it to anyone! More...

Sifu Derek Frearson's reputation speaks for itself. Classes have a friendly atmosphere and are led by experienced instructors. There are plenty of mcdojos out there that put profit first but this isn't one of them. Highly recommended. More...

I have had the privilege of personally knowing Master Derek Frearson since 2012. However, his reputation in the Chinese Martial Arts community precedes him, as I heard of his martial arts skills and abilities long before meeting him. He is a true martial artist and dedicated to promoting and propagating Chinese Martial Arts. He has many instructors and representatives throughout Europe, South Africa and the United States. He is a true and authentic leader, and is well respected internationally. His students and colleagues have the utmost represent for him. More...

Sifu Derek is a true master. He takes excellent care of students and instructors. I travel up to Leicester from Wales regularly by car to train with him. The traditional training is excellent. I have been on tour to China with Sifu Derek and other instructors. You could not ask for a better experience. More...

The best place for traditional Chinese Martial Arts.

First rate traditional Kung Fu training in a friendly and supportive environment. Yang Family Taijiquan, Foshan Wing Chun and Seven Star Praying Mantis are all available. The school's founder Sifu Derek Frearson has over 50 years of Chinese Martial Arts experience (and still goes to China to develop his skills every year) so you're getting the real deal here - with bona fide lineages and a genuine respect for the history and culture of the arts. Best of all, there are no showboaters or big egos to contend with and both instructors and students clearly turn up for the love of Kung Fu alone. Whether you're looking for a self defence system, a way to get in shape, or are just intrigued by the Chinese Martial Arts, I really couldn't recommend the classes enough. More...
