MKF Prince Avenue

MY JOURNEY
I’ve been a member of Meridian Wing Chun Kung Fu for over 10 years now and previously trained in Judo and Taekwondo before taking a break around the time I got married and started a family.
My son began his Meridian Wing Chun journey before I did and so I started my own training in order to support him at a young age and resume my martial arts study. I’ve never looked back and was humbled to receive my black sash in November 2021.
I continue to train each week under Master Sata Chand at MKF HQ and I’m extremely honoured to be able to teach this incredible martial art to the children at Prince Avenue.
WHY WING CHUN?
Wing Chun is a stunning martial art and after having trained in other systems previously, I quickly realised how much more practical Wing Chun really is. In any kind of combat or self-defence situation, I know that my Wing Chun toolset far outweighs anything from my previous styles and training.

Martial Arts & Self
Defence
Introducing children to core self defence skills at an early age brings many benefits. It enhances their personal safety, allowing them to protect themselves in potentially dangerous situations. It boosts their confidence and self-esteem, as they gain the knowledge and ability to handle challenging circumstances. Martial Arts training also promotes discipline and focus, helping kids develop a sense of responsibility and self-control. It improves physical fitness, coordination, and agility, contributing to overall health and well-being. Moreover, self-defense teaches respect for others and the importance of boundaries, promoting empathy and conflict resolution skills.
Physical Health & Fitness
Fitness and well-being are so important for children’s overall development. Regular physical activity promotes healthy growth, strengthens muscles and bones, and improves cardiovascular health. It helps manage weight and reduces the risk of chronic illnesses. Exercise also enhances cognitive function, attention span, and academic performance. Regular physical activity boosts mood, reduces stress, and improves sleep quality, supporting emotional well-being. Martial Arts training fosters social skills, teamwork, and self-confidence. Encouraging a healthy and active lifestyle from an early age sets the foundation for a lifetime of well-being and positive habits.
Discipline & Mental Health
Discipline plays a vital role in children’s mental health. It provides structure, boundaries, and a sense of predictability, which can contribute to feelings of security and stability. A well-disciplined routine promotes self-control, resilience, and the ability to manage emotions effectively. It helps children develop focus, concentration, and perseverance, which are essential for academic success. Discipline encourages responsibility, accountability, and respect for oneself and others.
