Wutan UK?

[Spodo Komodo]

Has anyone had any experience of Wutan UK? They have just started classes literally across the street from where I work and on a night when I don't have much to do...but their not very easy to navigate website lists about five different styles taught before black sash rank (all of which I thought were arts in their own right like Wing Chun) which seems a bit odd to my karateka ears. No prices given either which I always take as a bad sign.

However, not knowing anything about Chinese arts other than a little Tai Chi and a childhood pretending to be "grasshopper" I am prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt if they have no previous.

They have several schools and several sites...there is a lot of info and some prices posted. Their lineage looks good on paper but as you know the individual instructor is just as important for learning regardless of style. You should check it out (time permitting) and post a follow up.

Well nobody seems to say anything about them on the wider net and they have a lot of clubs so I guess they are OK. There is an open day next week so if I manage to get along I will report back.

I once started training in Go Kan Ryu and I am a bit too wary of slick flyers and colourful posters these days.

So, what is your experience? Did you visit them?

Sorry, been away for a bit.

Weeeeeellllllll...

I wasn't keen, it seemed to be a bit of everything rolled into the syllabus. There was nothing that I could fault about the teaching (well apart from using bokken in a strange manner) and they were very good at what they did as far as I could see, but it wasn't for me. That combined with the fact that I am moving to a different city in a couple of weeks meant that I didn't pursue any further than the first lesson.

I guess I'm not suited to Chinese arts after all, not "punchy" enough for me.
