Instructor John André started training Wing Chun at the
Leyton branch under the tuition of Sifu David McKenzie in September 1998.
Having had no experience of training in a martial art before, he had to
work hard to make any progress along with the help and patience of Sifu
and his Si-Hing's Frank, Tony, Chris, Spencer and Glen.
He started assisting Sifu and his Si-Hings at the Leyton branch in 2003.
Instructor John André assisted Sifu David at the opening of the Woodford branch in 2007, and now assists at the Chingford branch along with teaching the Chingford children's class. He regularly attends instructor and student seminars conducted by Si Gung Garry McKenzie. He has also visited Norway to train with fellow Norwegian students.
Despite training with The Wing Chun School for 13 years, Instructor John André continues to learn and refine his Wing Chun.
Although on the face of it he says he finds Wing Chun to be a relatively simple system compared to other martial arts, the outward appearance of simplicity in its concepts and techniques masks a greater depth to the art form. It is this depth that makes Wing Chun, for Instructor John André, a continuous learning process which he has greatly enjoyed, and will continue to do so for many years to come.
Instructor John André is a Certified Instructor by the VTAA (Ving Tsun Athletic Association), and also a lifetime member of the VTAA, as well as being a Registered First Aider and CRB checked. He is also the web master for The Wing Chun School and is responsible for the updating etc. of the website information.
