    Hi all

    after much deliberation/consideration i am looking to take up wing chun or a southern style of kung fu.

    I'm looking for some recommendations in the boroughs of enfield,barnet or potters bar.

    a hamstring injury is much improved but i have been advised that i will always have a weakness there hence the southern style or wing chun.

    any good clubs people. ideally that have weekend classes too?

    cheers all

    TBH unless you're doing TKD I don't think you'll have a problem anyway. Can't seem to find much Wing Chun but there's a JKD group with a big Kali/Panantukan program in Barnet.

    There's a load of places. depends what you want to be honest.

    If you want to learn to fight using your kung fu then:


    Hung Gar: http://www.kungfu.co.uk/hungkuen.htm (Jim Uglow's School. Top notch Hung Gar0

    Chow Gar Southern Praying Mantis: http://www.chowgarsouthernmantis.com/ (Paul Whitrod's school)

    I teach Hung Ga – nothing to do with Jim Uglow’s school or his line, but what I have seen of his stuff is good and he has a good reputation.

    I strongly recommend you go along and check him out.

    If you can get to learn off Paul Whitrod, he offers various systems. I would 100% go to him.

    +1 for Paul Whitrod

    Also, feel free to check out our I Liq Chuan group, it’s a mix of several styles with a strong Hakka flavor (Phoenix Eye, Feng Yang Lu Yi - some people called it Lu Yie Pa Kua, Hsing-I Pa Kua or Liew Mun Pai), mostly martial orientated training with a lot of two person drills, cooperative and not.

    Here's a small selection of vids, there are loads online.

    If interested, send me a PM and I'll put you in touch with our group leader, training is free for the time being, usually once or twice a week for 2 hours each normally around either Finsbury Park or Caledonian Road, and Green Park if the weather is nice.
