How to handle yourself in a fight

How to handle yourself in a fight. With confidence and panache.
Gain a deeper understanding and awareness of your body's balance and movements.
The privilege of expert personal tuition by one of the UK's most dedicated martial artists.
After 10 years of learning Wing Chun, of which half with Sifu Jason, I can truly say it is not only practical but transformative. An ancient tradition as relevant today as ever.

Hi Ashley,

Thank you for your message, and I hope you’re recovering well.

The class that was previously in South Wimbledon has now moved to Banstead. You’d be very welcome to come along for a free trial once you feel ready to get back into training.

For full details and to get in touch directly with Sifu Russell, please visit: https://bansteadwingchun.com

He’ll be happy to answer any questions you have and help you get started again.

Look forward to hearing how you get on.

A centre of excellence for Wing Chun practice

I'm hugely grateful to Sifu Ludwig and the South Norwood tech team for their openness, humour and deep expertise during my WIng Chun journey so far. The year 2025 was one of significant illness for me. Starting Wing Chun in November 2025, I have appreciated the discipline and philosophy of this martial art as I have recovered and returned to full fitness. Currently a 2nd Student Grade, I look forward to the weekly sessions ahead. Onto Grade 3 next - kapow! Matt Dunphy. South Norwood student

We’re especially pleased to hear how Wing Chun has supported your return to full fitness after a difficult year. That’s exactly what consistent training is there for, building both strength and mindset step by step.

Sifu Ludwig and the team will be proud to see your progress, and it’s great to hear you’re already pushing on towards Grade 3. Keep going, you’re on a solid path.

See you in class.

Fantastic!!

Russell and Steve recently came into our school as part of our Careers Week. From the beginning they were phenomenal. They ran sessions with various classes throughout the day - teaching them the basics but also educating them on the skills needed to be successful in their role. Both remained so professional throughout too. We cannot thank them both for taking time out of their day to inspire some of our children. They had the best time!

An excellent spot for martial arts enthusiasts, offering a warm and supportive environment. For anyone considering starting their Kung Fu journey, this school is highly recommended. The instructors are not only patient but also provide clear and comprehensible explanations of techniques. As you progress, the focus on Wing Chun's technical details makes each session engaging. If you’re contemplating attending a class, let this review be your nudge to go for it without delay!

Best Wing Chun Instructor I have trained under.

I have been training under Sifu Wes Hussey for almost 20 years. His level of knowledge is second to none, everything is explained in a clear, detailed manner and he is always learning and improving his own art and teaching methods.
A privilege to be his student and an honour to be a member of WCK UK.

Great place to learn a great martial art

I joined the class about a year ago and I really love it. It’s a really relaxed and supportive group to learn in. I’ve done quite a few different martial arts over the years and Wing Chun is very different and interesting. Nice people and a great atmosphere- really recommend it whether you’ve done other martial arts or you’re new to it all

I have trained Wing Chun for over 10 years with WCKUK at Banstead formerly Wimbledon Wing Chun under Sifu Russell Benhan , He really Does Truly embody what a martial artist really is dedicated, precise , methodical in his teaching , they way he is able to breakdown movements and drills throughout the entire system is nothing short of incredible, to Taylor his teaching to newbies and advanced pupils alike, if you want to learn authentic Martial Arts the way it was originally designed and created this is the place.

It's best to know something and not need it. Than to need it and not know it.

Sifu Russell Benham is an amazing teacher. His knowledgeable and skills are just exceptional.
I've been training with sifu Russell for 13 years and I wouldn't train under anyone else. The classes are structured and it's like a big family.

If you want to learn Wing Chun Banstead Wing Chun is the place to learn it.

Come down and see for yourself you won't be disappointed.

Banstead Wing Chun

Banstead Wing Chun - I’ve been training with Sifu Russell Benham for 10 years now. He has a great skill of knowing how to train and get the best out of his students in a fun and welcoming environment. Our class has people of all levels and backgrounds. I couldn’t recommend our class enough, so if you are looking to learn and train in a friendly and encouraging class where you can see real progression, get in touch with Sifu!

You won’t regret training with Russell.

I have trained with Russell and also used his expertise in martial arts seminars in Northern Ireland. I have found him to be nothing but professional, courteous and a leader in his field. The classes are welcoming and friendly, every session you leave feeling energised and like you have progressed.

A great place to learn martial arts in an encouraging and friendly atmosphere.
If you're thinking about taking your first steps into Kung Fu, I couldn't recommend this school more. The instructors are patient, supportive, and explain techniques in a clear, easy-to-understand way. As you advance theres a heavy emphasis on technical aspects of Wing Chun that keep the sessions interesting. All around if you're reading this review and on the fence about going to a class you shouldn't hesitate!

Great classes

Really laid back atmosphere which takes the stress out of taking the first step. Knowledgable teachers who explain the theories behind all the principles. If you put in the work, they are more than happy to impart their knowledge with nothing held back. Highly recommend
