Sifu Niall Hunt
4th Higher grade
"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."
Sifu Ryan Taylor
4th Higher grade
"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."

The timeless art of self-defence
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.
every step of the way - start your free trial!
A great way for kids to get fit and have fun
With Kids-WingTsun, children (6-12 years) can build confidence as well as practical self-defence skills. In addition, they learn in a playful way that a respectful approach to others is a sign of strength.
Group classes are essential, because contact with others helps your child learn their own strengths and weaknesses. Empathy and consideration are trained and cohesion is promoted.
At the same time, the training supports social integration into a group, the acceptance of authorities and thus education as a whole.

The land of styleless stickyness
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 the EWTO incorporate elements of Magic Hands.
