The Wing Chun Federation
Alan Gibson formed The Wing Chun Federation in 1990 with the
express purpose of concerning himself solely with the development of his chosen
art Wong Shun Leung Ving Tsun. The federation's objective is to teach
first-class Wing Chun Kung Fu in a relaxed and accessible manner, where
emphasis is placed on correct technique, scientific knowledge and personal
development. Wing Chun can be simply learnt by commitment and patience and a
high level of proficiency can be obtained quickly and with ease.
The Wing Chun Federation and
its coaches are endorsed from the highest levels internationally. It is registered
with the Ving Tsun Athletic Association, and the Ip Man Martial Arts
Association. Alan also has a degree in sports studies which has furthered his
understanding of the bio-mechanical, sociological, physiological and
psychological aspects of the art.
Alan Gibson regularly presents
seminars for members and other organisations. We also organise workshops by
guest teachers. These are normally held at The Wing Chun Federation's H.Q. in Southampton. Previous visiting coaches have included,
David Peterson (Wong Shun Leung), Wan
Kam Leung (Wong Shun Leung) and Ip Chun.
We do arrange trips abroad and other projects too.
If you are interested in learning
more about what makes Wong Shun Leung Ving Tsun different - organising a seminar
or workshop by Alan Gibson is very easy, please see the contact page for details.
