UK Wing Chun Kung Fu Association Grays

UK Wing Chun Kung Fu Association Grays Wing Chun Kung Fu provides training for fitness, health and self defence. Paul gave this up due to life commitments but his heart still lies in Wing Chun.

UKWCKFA Grays meets on Monday evenings at 8.15pm for beginners and 9.30pm for intermediate students. Paul Spencer’s first experience with the martial arts was in Karate in 1975 at the age of 7. He only stayed for a few months as he was not able to appreciate the methods used in the training, although he was still left with an interest in the martial arts. Paul’s next encounter with the martial art

s was at the age of 15 in Lau Gar Kung Fu, under the instructorship of Sifu Neville Wray in Romford. He spent a number of years training, gaining his blue sash, but ended up leaving due to work commitments. In 1986 Paul then joined a Yang Style Tai Chi Chuan class in Dagenham, instructed by Sifu John Ding. He trained for around 2 years, but found that the internal approach to training was not really for him. Then in November 1990 while at college in Grays, Paul saw an advert for Wing Chun Kung Fu and after reading up about this style of martial art, believed that this might be the style for him. Paul went along to the beginners’ intake and was impressed by Master James Sinclair’s expert explanations and teaching and then no longer believed, but knew this was the style for him. Paul is still a student of Master James Sinclair and currently attends training at UKWCKFA Headquarters in Rayleigh, with UKWCKFA’s other senior students. Paul has also attended instructor training classes since 2000 and has progressed from Probationary Instructor in 2001 to Sifu in 2008 after passing the bench mark; ‘Intermediate Level Test’ and having his own students pass the ‘Siu Nim Tao’ test. In 2008 Paul was also appointed a Permanent Member of the Ving Tsun Athletic Association and recognised as a Ving Tsun Kung Fu Instructor. In 2003 Paul also spent a short time, training with Sensei Lee Catling in his grappling based Jiu-jitsu, ‘Progressive Combat Club’ gaining his green belt. Paul holds the CertEd teaching qualification. He also regularly has CRB checks due to his current job as a college lecturer in construction.

Our newly designed wallbags (Saa Bau) arrived today.....!!!!

They are superb.

Very nice print template and great canvas. Heavy duty and quite the statement to hang on the wall.

Like everything these days, we had to increase the price considerably.

However, the design and quality are better than ever, and besides, how many will you get through in a lifetime!

A great investment for your Wing Chun journey.

Keep an eye out on our website as we will add them there soon. We have limited stock. First come first served.

THREE FABULOUS SEMINARS.

Next Sunday (28th June 2026) we are holding a fantastic seminar on Gworr Sau.

This is one area of that can proudly say we have a lot of experience.

In the modern world of sport and sparring this seminar is a great way to bridge the gap between forms, Chi Sau and fighting.

In July we have a great Kicking and Footwork MasterClass.

Toward the end of August we move on to the training and form. This hugely misunderstood training tool has so much to offer.

James will be using his 50 years + experience in the Art to bring this 'lump of wood to life', drawing out some great applications that are unique to the .

Classical and experiential skill will mix in this fabulously revealing seminar.

Tradition is only as good as the last person who feared moving forward. We try to keep the Art alive and developing.

And.... yes the pad around the mid section of the dummy is for....?
