Welcome to the Midlands Wing Chun Kuen

The first Midlands Wing Chun Kuen school opened in Hall Green, Birmingham in 1982 under the tutelage of Sifu Shaun Rawcliffe. Since that humble beginning with a small number of dedicated students, the Midlands Wing Chun Kuen has naturally grown and matured into is a friendly international organisation offering traditional Wing Chun as taught directly to Chief Instructor, Sifu Shaun Rawcliffe in Hong Kong by Wing Chun's Grandmaster Ip Chun, eldest son and senior student of the late Grandmaster Ip Man.

The Midlands Wing Chun Kuen (MWCK) now has schools around the UK and in Northern Italy, taught by a dedicated group of very experienced MWCK instructors providing the ideal opportunity to learn one of the most practical and dynamic street self defence martial arts. We run regular mixed teenage/adult classes (a couple of the schools do offer children's classes), plus we offer private tuition for individuals and small groups.

ALL MWCK Instructors are highly qualified, certified individuals with many years experience and hold both Instructor insurance and professional Indemnity insurance. All MWCK Instructors are registered members of the Ip Chun Wing Chun Kuen Martial Arts Association (Hong Kong) and Wing Chun Ip Chun Academy (Hong Kong) as well as the MWCK itself. ALL UK MWCK Instructors are registered members of the British Council for Chinese martial Arts (BCCMA).

ALL members of the MWCK are registered with and hold member to member insurance through the British Council for Chinese martial Arts (BCCMA).

Wing Chun is about learning to discipline both the mind and the body and at the MWCK we include holistic elements within our teaching to develop students mentally as well as physically.
