🥋 THE JOURNEY CONTINUES… PART 2 IS HERE
Following on from Part 1, our International Head Instructor SiFu Sergio Iadarola continues his exploration into the fascinating world of Snake Crane Wing Chun.
What makes research like this so valuable is that it goes beyond simply discussing techniques or repeating stories that have been passed down.
It is about going to the source.
Speaking to the people who were there.
Listening to their experiences.
And preserving knowledge for the next generation of martial artists.
SiFu Sergio has spent decades travelling, researching and training with masters from different Wing Chun traditions around the world, continually challenging himself to look deeper into the art we practise.
🎥 Part 2 continues that journey.
For our students at Schools of Kung Fu Essex, there is an important lesson here too.
Your martial arts journey should never stop at simply learning the next technique, form or grade.
Stay curious. Ask questions. Understand what you practise and why you practise it.
Because the more you learn about Wing Chun, the more you realise just how much there is still to discover.

🥋 WORD OF THE WEEK: PERSEVERANCE
Success isn’t about being the best…
It’s about refusing to give up.
Every confident child, every skilled martial artist and every black belt started exactly the same way…
With their very first lesson.
There were moments when techniques felt difficult.
There were times when progress seemed slow.
There were days when they questioned themselves.
But they kept turning up.
That’s perseverance.
At Schools of Kung Fu Chelmsford, we don’t just teach punches and kicks.
We help children build confidence, improve focus, develop respect and learn the value of hard work.
We help adults become fitter, stronger, more confident and capable of protecting themselves and the people they love.
The lessons learned on the training floor become lessons for life.
So, whether you’re looking for an activity that will help your child thrive, or you’ve been telling yourself, “I’ve always wanted to try martial arts,”…
Don’t wait for the perfect time.
Make today Day One.
🥋 Book your FREE 30-Day Trial today and experience why so many families in Chelmsford have chosen Schools of Kung Fu.
Every black belt began as a beginner.
The only question is… when will your journey begin?

🥋 DEDICATE YOURSELF TO SOMETHING THAT CHANGES YOU.
There comes a point when you stop saying “one day” and decide that today is the day you start.
Martial arts is about far more than learning how to defend yourself.
It’s about becoming stronger, more confident, more disciplined and more capable than the person who first walked through the door.
For children, it can help develop confidence, focus, discipline, resilience and respect.
For adults, it’s an opportunity to improve fitness, learn practical self-defence, challenge yourself and become part of a positive community.
And the best part?
You don’t need to be fit to start.
You don’t need any previous experience.
You just need to take the first step.

💭 WORD OF THE WEEK: CHANGE
Your life doesn’t change when the calendar changes. It changes when YOU do.
Every black belt was once a beginner.
Every confident person once doubted themselves.
Every strong person once struggled.
The difference? They decided to take that first step.
🥋 At Schools of Kung Fu Chelmsford, we don’t just teach martial arts. We help children and adults build confidence, resilience, discipline and the mindset to overcome life’s challenges.
Whether your goal is to:
✅ Get fitter
✅ Learn practical self-defence
✅ Build confidence
✅ Reduce stress
✅ Challenge yourself
✅ Give your child skills that last a lifetime
It all starts with one decision.
Change your thinking. Change your habits. Change your life.
If you’ve been telling yourself, “Maybe one day…”, make that day today.
📍 Classes in Chelmsford, Loughton and Woodford
👊 Beginners are always welcome
📩 Message us today to book your introductory session.
The hardest part isn’t the training. It’s making the decision to begin.

Word of the Week: Fear
Fear stops more people than failure ever will.
Most people don’t fail because they can’t do something…
They fail because they never try in the first place.
In training we see this all the time.
Students afraid to grade.
Afraid to spar.
Afraid to make mistakes.
Afraid they’re not good enough.
But confidence doesn’t come before action…
It comes after you face what scares you.
This week in class we remind our students:
Don’t let fear destroy the dream.
This week’s challenge…
Do one thing that scares you.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing mums in our Schools of Kung Fu family 🌸
Shout out to the mums who…
✔ Drive to class every week
✔ Sit in the car waiting for training to finish
✔ Know the grading dates better than the kids
✔ Wash the uniform 100 times
✔ Remind them to practise
✔ Pay the fees
✔ And still hear…
“I don’t want to go today…”
Then 45 minutes later they come out smiling like nothing happened 😄
Special respect to the mums who have also heard…
“Did you bring my belt?”
“Did you bring my water bottle?”
“What time is class again?”
We don’t just train the kids…
We train the parents too 👊
Tag a Kung Fu mum who deserves a medal today 🥇

Happy Mother’s Day from everyone at Schools of Kung Fu

“I've purchased copies of Wing Chun Illustrated before and always enjoyed the articles, but what really stood out was the magazine's quality. I ordered this hardcover edition because my Sifu, Alton Miller, was on the cover. When my copy arrived, I was pleasantly surprised by just how premium it felt – the binding, paper quality, and even the packaging were all top-notch. I also received a friendly email from Eric, the publisher and Editor-in-Chief, personally checking if I was satisfied with my purchase – an exceptional touch of customer service. Now, time to dig in and enjoy the read! I HIGHLY recommend WCI Premium Hardcover editions!”

We are proud to share that our very own SiFu Kul Rai, National Instructor for England, is featured on the cover of Wing Chun Illustrated! 🥋
This special feature dives into SiFu Kul’s Wing Chun journey, his passion for teaching, and how the art continues to evolve while staying true to its core principles.
“Wing Chun should evolve with modern martial arts, not by changing principles but by refining teaching and application. Training must involve pressure, varied attacks, and prioritise function over tradition.” – SiFu Kul Rai
A huge thank you to our amazing community for the constant support – this recognition is for all of us at Schools of Kung Fu Essex! 💪
