biography (con't)
Alan Gibson formed The Wing Chun Federation in 1990. The federation's objective is to teach Wing Chun Kung Fu in a relaxed and accessible manner, where emphasis is placed on good technique and personal development. Wing Chun can be simply learnt by commitment and patience and a high level of proficiency can be obtained quickly and with ease.
The Wing Chun Federation and its teachers are registered variously with the Wong Shun Leung Ving Tsun Association (UK), the Ving Tsun Athletic Association, and the Ip Man Martial Arts Association. Alan has a degree in sports studies which has furthered his understanding of the bio-mechanical, sociological, physiological and psychological aspects of the art.
As an independent organisation, The Wing Chun Federation often organises seminars by guest teachers. These are normally held at The Wing Chun Federation's H.Q. in Southampton. Previous visiting coaches have included, David Peterson (Wong Shun Leung) Ip Chun, Wan Kam Leung (Wong Shun Leung), and Clive Porter. We also arrange trips abroad and other projects when we can. If you are interested in attending future seminars or trips, please contact Alan Gibson
