The Halesowen Wing Chun martial arts team has been developed around our passion, dedication, and respect.
Each team member has an exceptional range of skills.
Adult Team Members
Sifu Alan Bagley is the chief instructor of an award-winning martial arts school in Halesowen and has been in this privileged position since 2013.
Having been involved in Martial Arts since 1998 he has a wealth of knowledge and experience which is generously shared during his teaching.
Growing up in a working-class family Alan was encouraged to learn a trade, something that he did. He became a qualified electrician and could have settled at that, but he was never truly happy with just ‘working for a living.
With an interest in the mind sciences, he has studied NLP to master practitioner level and spent many years as a clinical hypnotherapist. He has always had a fascination for personal development and how the martial arts can help facilitate this.
Alan believes that martial arts and personal development go hand in hand and can become a great source of, not only motivation but as a facilitator to the development of many aspects of life. He has worked with fighters on the mental and psychological side of their sport both pre-and post-fight.
Sifu Alan Bagley loves to inspire and see others pick up the mantle of personal responsibility and watch as people evolve, change and grow.
Sifu Alan Bagley is a published author and understands the benefits of the Martial Arts Journey.
Assistant Instructor John
John has been at Halesowen Wing Chun since it first opened its doors. John quickly gained a good reputation for their hard work and dedication, that and a great eye for detail.
John is a valued member of the team and is the person students will go to if they need assistance.
My name is Raghulflora people know me as RF.
I enjoy learning and coming to class to train.
I can understand things better in terms of using a technique technically and tactically in application, and I’m confident I will be more relaxed and flowing in the coming years.
I like to see people get better at what they are learning
Safeguarding Officer (DSL (Designated Safeguarding Lead)
Sensei Mike Crump has trained in martial arts for nearly 30 years starting with full-contact Karate, followed by Aiki-Jutsu under the direction of Renshi Simon Ells and Sensei Brian Bond.
To develop a deeper understanding of what wider martial arts have to offer, he started Wing Chun kung fu in 2013 with Sifu Alan Bagley (at the club which is also our home dojo) His teaching is influenced by his background in these arts and, after travelling to Japan, his interest in the art of Sambo.
Mike’s approach to martial arts is one of trying to help students find a mix that meets their needs with limited formality and a willingness to learn from others.
Mike Crump has been designated as the DSL (Designated Safeguarding Lead) for Halesowen Wing Chun. In this role, he is tasked with taking the lead in safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people within the organisation.
Mike ensures that Halesowen Wing Chun has effective safeguarding policies and procedures in place and that all staff are trained to recognise and respond to signs of abuse or neglect.
As the DSL for Halesowen Wing Chun, Mike plays a crucial role in protecting children and young people from harm and ensuring that their welfare is of utmost importance

Junior Coach Team
The junior coaching team consists of dedicated young adults that are passionate about Martial Arts and helping their fellow students grow and develop.
Hi, my name is Scarlett and I have been going to Halesowen Wing Chun ( Kung Fu ) for 7 years.
When I first started my sister Georgia and brother Noah came with me. I have been known to follow them for quite some time if they leave a club I am in I would too for the fear of being alone but for the last few years since they left I have made good friends that have helped me on the way.
The people around me help me learn and practise things that I might struggle with as I do with them and now I feel confident with doing things without my siblings around me.
From my experience of this, I stopped playing the violin on Wednesdays as I felt my heart wasn’t in it so as I have found the confidence to be a coach I have also found the passion for Kung Fu.
Hello, my name is Rebeka and I enjoy many activities making Martial arts my favourite.
I enjoy Kung Fu as it teaches you self defence.
At Kung Fu, I also made lots of new friends who can help me with things if I struggle and I can help them too.
I like being a coach since I get to know people better than I did before.
I enjoy helping younger children with things they might struggle with doing
This improved my confidence and leadership skills.
Hi my name is Thomas I love sports, especially football and Wing Chun
It gives me an opportunity to make amazing friends with other peers and develop skills such as confidence and teaching.
Hi! My name is Amelia and I love martial arts, school, animals and Harry Potter!!
I love Wing Chun because it’s a way for me to learn another side of myself. It also boosts my social skills and self-defence.
Being a Junior Coach is perfect for me because I have the opportunity to express my learning style and my love for martial arts. Being a coach also helps me with my personal development and leadership.
Hi, my name is Sophie,
I love to paint and draw also I really like sports such as netball and football.
Being at Wing Chun has made me less scared of the outside world and braver. I find it really fun to learn Wing Chun. It is a way I express myself it is also calming and all of the coaches and students and thoughtful and kind.
Being a Junior Coach has made me become more confident when talking to people. It also makes you feel happy that you can help the students learn new techniques. It also helps build connections with the student, Junior Coaches and even Sifu
Thank you for your time
Hi! My name is Eliza and I have been coming to Halesowen Wing Chun (Kung Fu) for 3 years.
I like baking and sports but especially enjoy working with my dogs and martial arts. I also have a younger brother who comes to Wing Chun as well. I often hid behind him until my confidence grew and I got my friends.
All my life I have been really shy and reserved however since being a junior coach my confidence has improved massively and I will sometimes teach a group of 5-10 students by myself, which is something I never thought I would be capable of.
I enjoy Kung Fu because it teaches me self-defence and other things that will help me in the future.
I enjoy working and helping everyone but because I am the youngest coach, I am usually put with the younger students and I do really like working with them. I also enjoy working with newer students as I can encourage them to try their best to join in if they are scared to believe in themselves. If they are in any doubt and I will also try my absolute hardest to answer any questions that any student asks.
Hi my name is Niah
I like martial arts, football, and sport in general.
I love Wing Chun because it’s really fun and you get to learn how to defend yourself and protect yourself, as a coach I can teach young people how to defend themselves.
