Wing Chun who is a good teacher

In my own research before I started to practice, I studied everything I could find on the subject then took the best option for me and progressed from there, as a martial artist who had trained other styles it was common sense that directed me to the right place, if your are new to martial arts, I would urge you not to take the first thing that comes along, visit forums and scour the Internet, because you really don't want to end up training some second rate version from someone with a bigger ego than their skill base, and before you start attacking me out there, please note I have not pointed a finger at anyone.

If this small guide helps then I have done my best for you

Kind regards

Wu Shi Dao - Street Defence - Mark Beardsell

While I will always be teaching and furthering my Knowledge of Wing Chun, i have taken elements from Wing Chun and other arts that I have studied, just like Bruce Lee did, and created my own system called Wu Shi Dao Street Defence, i am a big fan of always saying "if it does not work on the street it has not place in a martial art" so I like to keep it real, I have been in many encounters over the years and have built this system on my experiences and also taken on board the knowledge from former members of the armed forces and police force in an attempt to keep it as real to life as possible. There is always room for the traditional arts but there is also room for a system that works well in the 21st century.

You can find further information at http://www.wushidao.com/


I am teaching this exclusively to experienced fighters but if you want to get in on the action email me at master@wushidao.com
