Trainers
Reza Terani
Reza Terani is the chief combat instructor for street self defence. Reza has trained in Wing Chun for 40 years starting with the “White Cloud Kung Fu Society” under Derick Golden who learned his Wing Chun from Ip Chun but he already was a top combat instructor in England.
Reza learned the hard way both on the street and in the military and under the brutal English training method where broken noses and bleeding lips were the everyday norm.
Reza also studied TaekwonDo and Modern Arnis and has studied wing Chun under a variety of other lineages.
Reza feels that traditional “Dojo” sparring as practiced in many martial arts schools is not suitable for learning street self defence. Reza said the army never trains that way for real combat.
Ray teaches the classical wing Chun art, while Reza teaches what is needed to really apply Wing Chun to actual combat against people who know how to fight.
