Welcome To The Combined Arts School In Hebden Bridge

We teach classes in Wing Chun Kung Fu and Nei Gong.

Wing Chun Kung Fu is one of the most popular Chinese martial arts in the world today. Wing Chun was made famous by the late Grandmaster Ip Man.

Nei Gong, or ‘Inner Work’ is a system of Chinese practices for health with an emphasis on internal energy building and refinement. It includes a range practices such as opening the body through stretching, then mobilising and clearing blockages through Qi Gong and Dao Yin exercises.

The Combined Arts School was established in 2006 by Sifu Marcus Watts. We have been teaching Chinese martial and internal arts ever since. We are situated in Hebden Bridge, near Halifax in West Yorkshire.

Our aim is to be an inclusive, open and friendly organisation providing traditional training for students of all ages and backgrounds.

Please have a look at what we offer and get in touch if you have any questions or would like to book your first lesson.

Wing Chun Kung Fu

Originating in Southern China but made popular in the West by the teaching of Grandmaster Ip Man from the 1950s onwards in Hong Kong, Wing Chun Kung Fu (also known as Ving Tsun) is one of the most popular forms of Chinese martial art in the world today.

Wing Chun is a Chinese martial art that develops the mind and body through learning simple and effective self-defence. It is a practical, efficient and economic system that emphasises an understanding of natural body mechanics when dealing with an opponent, and not the use of sheer muscular force.

The benefits of learning Kung Fu include:

  • Better flexibility, strength, and coordination.
  • Improved concentration.
  • Improved mental wellbeing, self-esteem, and confidence.
