Our
school is a great place to learn martial arts, especially Wing Chun. Our system
is based on a deep understanding of Wing Chun with an emphasis on application
rather than techniques. Alan Orr Sifu is opened in his teaching and continues
to search and expand his knowledge of martial art.

I
am very fortunate to be accepted as your student, training under you taught
me to become a better person, the strength, determination and belief in my
own potential produced by hard, no-nonsense training, you are the best teacher
with the best vision and commitment to your students. The system is excellent,
but you made it better, the skill that you've passed on to your students make
me want to learn more and more from you, thank you for being the best teacher
and thank you for the love of your kung fu.

Since
training with Alan Orr Sifu it has renewed my enthusiasm for the Wing Chun
system. Having trained for a number of years in Wing Chun previously I thought
my Wing Chun was fairly good. This was until I met Alan Orr. Although he did
not "rubbish" my skills he was able to show me how the Chu Sau lei system
was far superior in terms of using body structure to control your opponent.
This first session blew my mind. From this Alan Orr Sifu agreed to allow me
onto his apprentice instructors programme. His demands from students is high
as he wishes that his instructors have high standards. It has not been easy
to change and re adjust as "old habits are hard to break", however with Alan
Orr's way of teaching and explanations why there is a need to do this, I am
quickly beginning to understand the concepts of this particular branch of
the Wing Chun system, apply them and see the results.

I
have extensive experience in Wing Chun. I have never before encountered a
system which is so refined and efficient as the Chu Sau Lei System. Its manner
and structure is so integrated and unrestrictive to the biomechanics of the
practitioner. This system of Wing Chun is by far the most natural and effective.
It works in a frighteningly blunt assassin like manner! Genius and simplicity
are revealed through Body Structure. The arts functioning and interrelationship
with the body's healing systems, discloses a clear holistic and comprehensive
nature. During my instruction I learnt a great deal in a very short space
of time. The depth of knowledge to be offered gave me a unique and never before
seen insight into the depths of authentic Wing Chun. Chu Sau Lei Wing Chun
Kuen is without doubt a unique Martial Treasure!

In
training in the school be prepared to have your opinions and ideas on Wing
Chun tested and challenged. The expression of the system and the school is
to present Wing Chun as it should be as a practical no-nonsense expression
of the art, which encourages application of the tools in a manner which is
practical to each individual. Alan Orr Sifu encourages the development of
each individual to the best of their abilities emphisisng and teaching the
principles of the system.

I
travelled to the UK to train with Alan Orr. I found Alan to be very knowledgable
and well taught on what he teaches. His Wing Chun is incrediby effective and
he can adapt it to many martial arts, in the sense that what he teaches can
be used to compliment one's skills in other martial arts and not just for
Wing Chun. Alan is also very skilled in grappling and no-holds-barred and
a few sessions training with him can teach you much. But what is amazing is
how he can adapt his Wing Chun skills and integrate them into no-hods-barred
and grappling and so making these two effective systems already more powerful.
Its more than just techniques but a system that uses techniques. Alan teaches
how to use your body and not a bunch of techniques. This, I think, is the
proper way to learn a martial art and it is when you know what you are doing
is when you really can "make things work". I think that the ability
of an instructor shows in his students and certainly his students are GOOD.
Also they are nice people and make you feel at home as well as help you a
lot. Alan does really careabout keeping his students close to each other and
this also shows the quality of an instructor.

One of the key virtues of our school is the openness that permeates all
levels of our training. The system is taught in such a way to encourage the
student to ask questions and fully understand their development. Not only
does Alan Orr Sifu always provide a clear answer to such queries but he ensures
that your understanding is completed by your own research and ideas. It follows
that discussion flourishes in classes/seminars with students of all levels
helping each other to attain skill and understanding. This provides a great
atmosphere in which to learn Wing Chun - one that is unique in my experience
of the Martial Arts!

It
was a real pleasure to train with you and your students in London and York
this last summer. I am happy to have you as a brother in the Chu Sau Lei Wing
Chun Kuen family. I enjoyed the free exchange of ideas we shared and I am
glad to see that you and your students hold yourselves to such high standards
in your training. Please thank your students Simon and Gareth for their hospitality
and friendship. I look forward to your visit in November 2004 and many more
exchanges after that.
