Discover Chu Shong Tin lineage Wing Chun Kung Fu to increase your fitness, confidence, and focus in Hornsey.
Wing Chun is a practical self-defence system. Everything we do is pressure-tested with realism in mind – no high kicks or flashy techniques.
Learn to use your body more effectively by relaxing your muscles and releasing your joints, which allows you to generate much more force without needing to be big or strong. This has the added benefit of developing your focus and mindfulness.
Meet a group of like-minded people like yourself looking to learn martial arts and have fun. We are an inclusive LGBT+ friendly space. We don’t allow bigots or bullies. People training in other styles are more than welcome.
There are countless Wing Chun schools in London, but we are one of the only two schools that teach Wing Chun in the Chu Shong Tin lineage. You’ll find our methods of teaching and applying Wing Chun to be very different from most other schools, as we have more focus on learning how and why each movement that we do can be performed effectively, by using as little physical ‘muscular’ strength as possible.
We break down each individual movement and test it against pressure in multiple possible applications, rather than practising multiple drills and techniques. Because of this you can learn ways of using your body that can be applied to any form of martial art.
Learn to cultivate a type of power that utilises muscles and your body in a different way: learning to relax the muscles and rely on the skeletal structure in order to deliver massive power.

In this episode, Vinnie from DaiShu Wing Chun sits down with student Jamie to tackle some of the big questions around Kung Fu today. Can Wing Chun hold its own in MMA? Why has Kung Fu’s popularity changed over the years? And how do you choose between different schools and lineages? Along the way, they explore the Chu Shong Tin approach, the cultural side of training, and what makes Kung Fu both challenging and rewarding in a modern context.
Very early on starting Wing Chun kung fu in north london with Vincent, I quickly gained confidence within myself and developed the techniques that focused on real life self defence skills that I feel actually would be able use if was in a situation I could not run from.
Vincent is very patient, makes training fun and takes it at a pace that works for the individual. I highly recommend coming and trying wing chun with Vincent and I believe you see how quickly you develop each week!
