I didn't take many photos because we had so much to do, but...

Today is a monumental day in the making. Not one but two students going for their black sash.

Stay calm, stay focused. You've got this.

Good luck to Matt and Kenny.

We also have Glenn, going for his level 5, which is a very difficult grade to get. You'll smash it!

Good luck!!!!

On the 3rd we held one of our four open days a year. This group was absolutely amazing and they showed some serious mettle, especially toward the end of the day when we did pyramids!

If you're thinking of joining, the next open day is on 02/08/2026.

Minimum age is 16+

Please remember - a lot of the people in this photos are literally doing their first ever training, any negativity will result in an instant ban.

15 years.

For fifteen years I've been teaching martial arts. Many students have come and gone. It's not always been highs, we've trained through damp and mold, I've turned up to empty rooms, I've had to close the class due to pandemics, we've had students and their family take their final walk into the afterlife through illness and age.

But.

Everything about this class gives me strength, it keeps my mind and body active, I've met some of the most amazing people you'll ever know. I've won fights, lost fights, had my students win fights, had to pick my students back up off the mat, dust them off and say try again, and I've had my students pick me up off the mat and say "it's not over yet."

To everyone, new, old, yet to join, and to those who've left their earthly body behind

Thank you from Wing Chun Walsall.

As a ONE OFF special, you can bring kids to the 15th anniversary class. But all parents must stay with their kids, we are not a daycare.

A legend in the martial arts scene, Chuck Norris has completed his mission here on earth and has gone to conquer the Kwoons and Dojos in the heavens.

Humour aside, Chuck Norris had 5 black belts that I'm aware of and was a huge influence in helping popularise martial arts here in the west for the modern audience.

The martial arts world is truly a little bit darker on this day, Rest in Piece, Chuck Norris

Matt and Kenny both practicing for their black sash by practicing their teaching techniques.

I am so proud of this lot. 9 weeks additional training to get ready for the Interclub tomorrow! Good luck to everyone, you've worked hard for this - remember. **Everyone** who steps on a mat is a winner. See you all bright and early tomorrow.
