Testimonials

There is no better way of hearing about the quality of a school than hearing it from the students themselves. Sifu Alan Paterson and the Kung Fu Schools (Croydon) undertake many activities outside of the school including corporate event days, grading ceremonies for the younger stundents and high paced weekend classes for the more active and willing adult students.

Here are some comments from our pupils and customers.

Chris Wheeler- Director of Total Care Security (www.totalcaresecurity.com)

Total Care Security has used the services of Head Instructor Alan Paterson for over two years. We have always found Mr. Paterson to be approachable, professional and attentive to all the students we have sent to him.

Total Care Security have utilised the skills of Mr. Paterson during our induction training where we have bought Kung-Fu into our communication and conflict management training. We have always found the techniques taught by Mr. Paterson to be extremely efficient but most of all simple to learn.

Total Care Security would have no hesitation in recommending to any company or individual alike. On a personal note Mr. Paterson has had my son at his school for over two years where he has achieved his Little Dragons Black Belt, and much to my surprise Mr. Paterson has managed to keep his attention by making no two classes the same, my son is now working towards his Black Belt in the juniors also.

Students & Their Parents

Roger Norton, 12th SG

I began training in Wing Chun to improve my coordination, increase my fitness levels and to just try something different. In addition to these benefits I've become more assertive and better at handling confrontational situations.

I was not particularly fit and had no experience in Martial Arts but this was no barrier as the classes are friendly and the Instructors patient, recognizing that everybody learns at a different rate. Within a few months I noticed that my concentration and focus improved which had a positive effect outside of the Kung Fu class.

As a student of Kung Fu Schools I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Sifu Alan and the other instructors and staff are not only helpful and friendly but also very down to earth and make the serious business of learning Kung Fu a lot of fun!

The facilities are great with a large studio, training room, and lockers - everything you would expect from a professional sports school. It is not like other places which have a makeshift venue such as a village or school hall.

But for me the thing it offers that very few other martial arts school do is flexibility. As it is a full-time school it provides a number of classes throughout the week, which helps me because as I work shifts I cannot always make the same class every week.

And whether you want to do just one day a week or if you want to be black belt in two years, Kung Fu Schools is able to cater to your needs all at a reasonable price.

Other extras offered include intensive classes at the weekends, seminars, guest speakers such as Wing Chun grand masters, training camps and private lessons, to name but a few.

I have been a student for less than a year and I have already begun to feel the benefits of Wing Chun. I feel stronger and more flexible but also more confident - and with those of us with hectic lives it is also a great stress-buster!

Mrs Sharkie – Croydon

My 7 year old son has been attending the Kung Fu School for 2 years now and has recently passed his blackbelt.

Since attending his concentration, behaviour and focus has improved a great deal at home and school. I would like to thank all concerned for their continued dedication and support.

Mrs Adams - Warlingham

"I would like to take this opportunity in thanking Kung Fu Schools (Croydon) for there continued support and dedication in teaching my son who suffers from Verbal Dyspraxia which effects speech and co-ordination. Our son who has been attending the school for almost a year has grown in confidence and his co-ordination has improved beyond our wildest dreams. Even his teachers have noted these remarkable changes. I attribute this to Alan Paterson and staff who have shown tremendous patience and consideration and would highly recommend this Martial Art School to others who could benefit from such expertise."

Mother of a student on the Black Belt training Course

"Having attended her Black Belt Training Course for the last 9 months, I have found that my daughter's behaviour has calmed down and she has become more focussed on her schoolwork. Her concentration levels have increased and she is much more self controlled and disciplined in her other activities, plus she loves her WingChun"

Parent of a student on the Black Belt training Course

"My 10-year-old son joined the Croydon WingChun School in February. He suffers from ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder) and ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder). Basically this means that he is very impulsive, hyperactive and has problems concentration on anything for any length of time.

I am very impressed by how the Wing Chun School encourage the students to relay the positive mental attitude that they learn for the martial arts to their schoolwork.

I have just received my sons best ever school report. In it are all the key attributes that the Wing Chun School teach the students to assist them on their journey to black belt excellence and also on their journey in life. They include respect, self-discipline, humility, perseverance, and concentration to name but a few.

WingChun has helped my son to be more positive in both his work and behaviour at school. This has led to praise from his teachers, which in turn has raised his self-confidence and enabled him to stand just that little bit taller."
