Big congrats to Eddie on getting his level five wing chun student grade from Master Andrew Cameron at Wing Chun Northampton last weekend.

One of the important things for us is that we are part of Wing Chun International, so students in our Geneva classes have the opportunity to visit the UK and Germany for courses with Master Cameron and upgrade their martial arts knowledge.

We'll take the opportunity to wish Eddie all the best on his martial arts journey when he heads back home to Australia next month!
