Direct Transmission

Our system descends directly from Grandmaster Yip Man (Ip -Man) through the legendary Wong Shun Leung, following with Nino Bernardo to Master Loukas Kastrounis. This heritage is not a decorative certificate; it is an active, daily responsibility to keep the science of combat functional and pure.

In our training halls, we preserve the precise anatomical structures, footwork, and reflex training passed down through generations. Every movement is tested for absolute efficiency.

Beginners and advanced (male & female) students are all welcome to join our team.

Master Loukas Kastrounis’ official authorised training schools are located in Reading, Berkshire (UK) and Kritsa, Crete island (Greece).

“I have been practicing Wing Chun and Kali Eskrima since 1982 and have been teaching since 1992 at my UK headquarters, Reading Academy in Berkshire as well as multiple schools around the world.

Wing Chun and Kali Eskrima are practical fighting systems, with many additional physical and mental health benefits.

Through regular practice, passion and patience, practitioners will come to realise an overall improvement in health, awareness, confidence and overall quality of life.” Master Loukas Kastrounis

Ego is left at the door so that genuine learning and precise muscle memory can take its place.

We do not train for points, trophies, or sport entertainment. We train for practical self-preservation, structural alignment, and the mental clarity of a dedicated practitioner.

Our Training Halls

We operate dedicated, disciplined spaces across the region. No commercial gym gimmicks, no distractions—only traditional equipment, wooden dummies, and focused practice.
