Does any one know of a good wing chun teacher or club in the Bournemouth area of south England and as a beginer would it be unwise to join in with others that have been doing it a long time thank you

I dont know if youve found the answer you were searching for at this time. I didnt want to make you feel neglected

Though I dont know anybody in your area that could teach you, I would say as a beginner it would be best to train with the most experience people you can find. It is easy to learn bad habits. It is very hard to unlearn bad habits.

Experience will show as they will better be able to teach you what works best for you. Do not be intimidated. Everyone has to start somewhere. If you just show them that you are eager to learn, determined, and professional you will earn their respect and gain the experience you are looking for.

Maureen,

hi mate. Do you want to learn a Traditional Martial Art for the sake of it, or do you want primarily to learn effective self-defense? Or maybe you find a specific training for the trapping range? The best club for you depends upon your real aims.

All the best
