The Wing Chun Collective (TWCC), formerly known as Cheltenham Wing Chun Kuen (CWCK), is owned and run by Sifu’s Steve Woodward and David Akroyd-Jones who currently operate schools in Gloucestershire.
TWCC was a natural progression of CWCK that was formed in 1994 since which time Sifu’s Woodward and Akroyd-Jones have trained under the personal tuition of Sifu Shaun Rawcliffe attaining a high degree of skill within Ip Man Wing Chun.
During its time CWCK hosted many seminars for the Midlands Wing Chun with Grandmaster Ip Chun and Sifu Shaun Rawcliffe and their teachers have visited Hong Kong on many occasions to further knowledge and experience and to nurture a positive training environment in the UK.
TWCC is a group of teachers and students who have a love of Wing Chun and all things related to Wing Chun. Members are not aligned to any particular Wing Chun family and are free to explore the many facets of the Wing Chun style. However, none of us has forgotten our roots and long history that form the basis of our understanding and are integral to our desire for development and improvement.
The Wing Chun Collective is a new venture with exciting opportunities to grow, but at its core it has the same principles, aims and benefits that its founders have developed over the last 40 years.
