Joining Reading Academy is one of the best things I have done
Joining Reading Academy in Berkshire is one of the best things I have done. The team is very friendly and knowledgeable. The school is led by Si-Fu Loukas with genuine Wing Chun lineage history. The teachers and senior students are very helpful. The training is practical and well structured. The rewards are great. The school is open four days a week which is uncommon for similar types of schools. This provides plenty of flexibility to train. The whole experience is far beyond just a martial art. For details of all the benefits, have look at the school web page.
