The Instructors

The Reading Academy, under the supervision of Sifu Lucas Castrounis, has produced four good Wing Chun / Kali instructors since 1992, every one of whom helps and assists Lucas at the Reading School (Kwoon).

For many years the Reading Academy instructors have had personal training with Lucas Castrounis and have attended Nino Bernardo training sessions and seminars.

The Reading Academy's qualified instructors are: Nick Ratcliffe, David Munro (currently he also teaching Wing Chun at the High Wycombe School), Craig Harry, and Dan Creswell (an instructor of the Wing Chun & Kali systems).

We encourage and hope that more of our students will soon be capable of achieving this honor and become instructors of the Wing Chun or Kali systems at the Reading Academy and to spread the ethos of good Wing Chun & Kali Eskrima around the world.

Wing Chun Quotes

Wing Chun kung fu is a very sophisticated weapon - nothing else. It is a science of combat, the intent of which is the total incapacitation of an opponent.

- Wong Shun Leung

If you're looking to learn self defence, don't study Wing Chun. It would be better for you to master the art of invisibility.

- Wong Shun Leung
