'My daughter and I have just joined Western Wing Chun run by Sifu Dean Carrick. Its just what I've been looking for, self defence, with practicality and sense. Sifu Dean is an amazing instructor that inspires young and old alike (thats us!). Get in touch with him if your interested in developing self safety and confidence, or would just like to know more about Wing Chun Kung Fu and its boxing element'.

‘My son had been bullied at school and become quite withdrawn before he started with Dean (Sifu), so he first needed to build confidence in order to feel comfortable within a group class environment. Dean’s weekly 1 to 1 sessions with my son have boosted his inner strength & self-belief beyond measure and - even after just one month - he is visibly happier & feels empowered. Dean clearly has a great understanding of how to connect with younger learners & quickly instills his own respect and passion for martial arts in his students. True testimony I believe to Dean’s wide experience and extensive training. His quiet, relaxed approach instantly puts my son at ease, so that he is more receptive - and is always sad to leave at the end of the session! '

'Western Wing Chun is a great mix between Wing Chun and western boxing. The class are all friendly and supportive and Sifu (Dean) has a wealth of knowledge that he wants to teach his students and it is delivered with real passion. Sifu also ensures all students are given appropriate guidance on their techniques so that they can improve and grow. I’d highly recommend joining Western Wing Chun if you are thinking about learning self-defence.' . -  Akash (Peterborough - 2023)

'My son Kobe (12yrs old) really enjoys being taught by you at wing Chun class. He feels that there is mutual respect, and he practices every day (no, seriously, he does)! Kobe enjoys seeing his peers in class and feels confident being a senior and He hopes he is setting a positive Example. Kobe is looking forward to his next grading at wing Chun. I have seen a positive change in Kobe, he is happier, confident and funny, and this is carried on and reflects his social activity in school and education'.  - Simona (Peterborough - 2023)

'I first met Sifu Dean when he started teaching me Wing Chun about a year before lockdown, I re-joined his class when he went on his own way and created the school ‘Western Wing Chun’. Sifu Dean has a great wealth of Knowledge and is an excellent teacher, he demonstrates and explains everything well. His classes are well organised and all his students are humble, ready to help everyone, all learning from each other, no big egos. If you have an interest in martial arts it will be great to join'.  - Michael (Peterborough -2023)    

'As a Shotokan 4th Dan the transition from 40years of Karate to Kung Fu was challenging but with Deans knowledge and professionalism of Wing Chun and his excellent guidance I truly got to learn this great art and have done so now for over 6years'  -  Art (Brampton - 2022)

'Love the movement and fluidity. None of that static sitting duck style. Learning to roll hands from the outset, and modern ideas on footwork and striking. Nice one'. - David (Godmanchester - 2022)
