Have you been thinking about learning a martial art for self defence, exercise, stress relief or another reason? I'm Andre Quin, a Wing Chun instructor in Manly with a great passion for sharing this art. Whatever your goals, I can help you reach them through one-on-one martial arts training sessions.
I teach pure internal Wing Chun Kung Fu, an extremely effective martial art that doesn't rely on muscular strength or flexibility. You'll learn to generate great amounts of force using mechanical principles, geometrical structures and the hidden power of your mind. This is the first martial art that Bruce Lee learnt and the one that most influenced his own teachings later in life - so you're in great company!

Wing Chun is a very effective martial art. According to legend it was invented by a Shaolin nun, Ng Mui, and named after her most talented student, Yim Wing Chun. Literally translated wing chun means eternal spring time. It doesn't rely on muscular strength or flexibility and allows practitioners to generate great amounts of force using mechanical principles, geometrical structures and the hidden power of the mind.
I commenced my path as a martial artist close to 25 years ago. In my youth I trained in a wide variety of styles and schools until I discovered Wing Chun in 2003. I was so blown away by what it offered, that I decided to stop everything - and I mean everything! - and study this art full time.
I quit work and trained more than 40 hours every week for two years under the close guidance of Sifu Mark Spence who was the head instructor at the IWCA at the time and later founded Chi Sau Club.In 2004 I had the opportunity to visit Grandmaster Chu Shong Tin in Hong Kong, a direct pupil of the famous Ip Man(Bruce Lee's instructor).

In this 2nd video Andre Quin explains the basics of how Force is generated in Wing Chun; why using proper technique, structure and relaxation can generate a lot more power than would be possible using muscular strength alone. In this video Andre Quin explains the different shapes used in WIng Chun and how we can use structural strength in shapes to sustain great amounts of force without the need for muscular strength.

I highly recommend Andre and his Wing Chun teaching style. Andre has a really laid back approach however I developed quickly with private lessons. After a period my 11 year old daughter joined us and she felt totally safe and really loved it as well. Andre's passion for the principles and practice is really evident and it was alot of fun.

Wow! - A great environment to learn self defence and train the mind and body. Andre is a great teacher with a deep understanding what works for all his students to move them forward rapidly. What i've achieved this year is amazing. What I've learned already has changed many aspects of how I move through my life. Highly recommended!

Our 10 year old son has learnt so much training with Andre. Not only does he have a lot of fun in a friendly positive environment but he has developed a new self confidence that comes with understanding how to defend himself. We were so impressed we are now taking classes at Momentum Wing Chun ourselves! Highly recommended.

Momentum Wing Chun was amazing... Andre was a really great teacher, whom we trained with for over a year! We wished we could have stayed longer but we left to travel.
Wing Chun is an amazing form to learn how to control your body & understand the power of natural movement and this school was a perfect place for us to start learning plus continuously moving forward!
