Ching Mo Wing Chun Schools are recognised as one of Manchester’s leading martial arts academies, dedicated to preserving and teaching authentic Wing Chun Kung Fu. Rooted in the celebrated Ip Man lineage, our training combines centuries‑old traditions with modern, practical self‑defence.
Led by our connection to Grandmaster Ip Ching, the youngest son of Ip Man and teacher to Bruce Lee, Ching Mo offers every student the chance to learn in a direct line of Ving Tsun Kung Fu. This ensures our teachings remain true to the original principles of efficiency, precision, and coordination.

Legacy & Lineage
At the heart of Ching Mo is a deep respect for heritage. Grandmaster Ip Ching was known for his precision, humility, and dedication to preserving the art of Wing Chun as taught by his father, Ip Man. Continuing this legacy, Ching Mo ensures every student experiences the true essence of Wing Chun—the same art that inspired Bruce Lee and continues to influence martial arts worldwide.
Training Methods and Curriculum
The training methods at Ching Mo are structured, comprehensive, and designed for all levels—from absolute beginners to advanced practitioners. Students progress through a curriculum that balances tradition with practical application and includes:
- Core drills and forms
- Chi Sau (sensitivity and reflex training)
- Footwork development
- Partner drills and sparring
- Applied self‑defence scenarios
Classes emphasise correct body structure, efficient movement, and accurate technique execution. Students are introduced to the core principles of Wing Chun—centreline theory, economy of motion, and simultaneous attack and defence. With consistency, these principles translate into natural speed, fluidity, and precision.
Qualified and Passionate Instructors
Our instructors are highly trained and experienced, combining deep martial knowledge with a passion for teaching. Their goal isn’t just to pass on techniques, but to create a nurturing, motivating environment that helps every student thrive.
Personalised Progression
We recognise that no two students learn the same way. Individual attention is given so each student can progress at their own pace—whether advancing quickly through forms or taking time to master fundamentals.
A Strong Martial Community
Ching Mo schools aren’t just training halls; they are communities. Students share skills, support each other, and participate in seminars, workshops, and special events that build lasting friendships alongside martial ability.
