Welcome to Liverpool Wing Chun Eskrima Academy
Liverpool Wing Chun / Escrima Academy has over 19 years experience in the martial arts and self defence field. Our focus is to provide street real - ego free training to people in a safe environment. Located in Allerton, South Liverpool. We moved away from some bigger self defence groups to be more customer related and personally focused. We are not in the high pressure sales business, we will not ask you to sign contracts etc.
We train in classical Martial Arts in a way that is relevant for modern society. We cover all areas of combat - stand up, clinch & groundwork (street based) & also weapons work. (please see grading links as all aspects are covered each grade)
We believe in a positive training environment – Hard work, no hang up’s, no bullies. Train to enjoy the arts, not to endure.
What we Teach
Wing Chun is a kung fu style AKA 'chinese street fighting', Escrima is a Filipino art that focuses on weapons defence (knife and stick mainly) this includes Panantukan boxing & dumog wrestling. We also teach Vale Tudo (meaning 'anything goes') groundwork, a streetwise form of ground attacking and defence. Our aim is to provide people (regardless of experience) with a comprehensive system that exercises the mind as well as the body.
We ensure that all who train progress according to their own untapped potential, no-one is rushed, or held back – everyone is encouraged to have a ‘give it a go’ attitude. Training Sessions are structured to be challenging but enjoyable. The teaching syllabus is specifically designed to meet today's thug culture, all the drills are reality based but everything is practiced under complete supervision. There are not may 'solo' drills so everything is tested against a person, nothing is left to the imagination.
Our Method
We use many training methods to facilitate your skills and make the classes more alive - pad-work, chi sau (sticking hands), hubud higot (Filipino sensitvity drills), stick-work (single & double), knife-work, stick & knife, staff-work, choking, locking, ground striking, ground submissions and close range rapid fire trapping...... all the skills needed to be effective in an altercation.
All drills are tried and tested and passed on from many years of training by the masters of the arts. Your first free class, leave the ego at home - its not needed – we’re here for people who need self defence.
