Welcome to our Blog!

The Wing Chun Kuen Study Group is a small group of martial art enthusiasts who meet up regularly on a hillside terrace near the north-eastern Italian city of Trieste to study the Chinese boxing method of Wing Chun Kuen and general armed combat.

It is a non business orientated group, but instead collects funds to both purchase training equipment and to donate to just causes.

All are joyfully welcome to train with us.

The above unattributed quote is one that I continually endeavour to fight against. I want to stress that I do not condone any members of our group to devote all their time on the study of combative arts at the expense of life’s other more important facets.

Our families and our continual mental education are on a higher standing than personal combat skills. We must be able to distinguish between needs and wants.

A punch drunk fighter does not contribute much to society, neither does an absent parent or partner who spends all of his/her precious time and resources in the juvenile dream of being a greater combatant.

When we meet let us train hard, let us use our training time to its greatest endeavour, but also let us know when to stop.
