Wing Chun Halesowen teaches traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu to children aged 5 to 11 and to adults (from age 12) at our full-time training centre on Eagle Trading Estate, Stourbridge Road, Halesowen. Sifu Alan Bagley founded the club in 2013 and has trained in martial arts since 1989. Our classes are welcoming, structured and focused on real confidence and practical self-defence, with clear progression so you always know what you are working on and why.

Our Wing Chun classes in Halesowen
Adult Wing Chun classes
Train for fitness, stress relief, confidence and practical self-defence. You will learn core Wing Chun skills such as stance, balance, footwork and hand techniques, starting with the first form, Siu Nim Tao. Partner training takes the form of applications: applying techniques with a partner in a controlled way. Adults of all ages start from scratch, and classes are mixed ability. Read more about our adult Wing Chun classes.
Children’s Wing Chun classes (ages 5 to 11)
Our kids’ programme helps children build confidence and resilience, focus and listening skills, coordination and discipline, and respectful behaviour and positive habits. Children grade through coloured sashes. Age-appropriate sparring is part of the kids’ class, and it is always controlled, supervised and suited to each child’s age and ability. Parents can watch from the viewing area. Read more about our children’s Wing Chun classes.

FAQ
Is Wing Chun good for beginners?
Yes. Wing Chun is ideal for beginners because it is structured and built around efficient technique, balance and timing, not brute strength.
At what age can children start?
Children can start from age 5. The children’s class is for ages 5 to 11, and from age 12 students join the adults’ class.
Can teenagers join?
Yes. Teenagers train in our adults’ class, which welcomes students from age 12 (Monday to Thursday, 7:15 pm to 8:15 pm. Friday, 7:05 pm to 8:05 pm is Open Mat (members, no instruction)). No parent needs to train alongside them. If you’d like to talk it through first, give us a ring.
Do I need to be fit to start?
No. Your fitness improves as you train, and we help you build it gradually.
Do you cover self-defence?
Yes. Training includes practical skills, awareness and controlled partner work.
Do you serve B62 and B63?
Yes. Many of our students travel from B62 and B63, as well as from Stourbridge, Dudley and Birmingham.
Do you teach tai chi?
No. We do not teach tai chi, and I get asked all the time. We teach Wing Chun, a Chinese martial art (kung fu). Tai chi is usually practised slowly, with a focus on gentle, flowing movement. Wing Chun is trained as a practical self-defence system: stance, structure and footwork, simple direct techniques, and controlled partner work. Both value relaxation, but they are different arts. If you are looking for tai chi, we are not the right club. If you would like to see what Wing Chun is like, book your free trial class.
