​Biography​

Sifu John Cossentine began his martial arts training in 1990 practising Tae Kwon Do, a Korean system of self-defence. He trained for a period of four years, becoming a British champion in 1996, as well as achieving a (1st kup) red belt, black tip grade.​

 

During that time, John began studying Wing Chun Kuen. He knew immediately he was going to become a teacher, and eventually decided to leave Tae-Kwon Do to dedicate himself fully to the techniques, teachings and training methods of the Wing Chun system.

 

He trained diligently for many years, representing one of the UK's leading authorities, before setting up his own organisation. ​
