Hello, I’m Sifu Steve Poskitt, the instructor at Brighton Wing Chun.

My journey in martial arts began as a teenager during the Bruce Lee craze. I started with Feng Shou Kung Fu under Sifu Chee Soo. When I moved to Brighton for university, I couldn’t find any Kung Fu schools teaching the soft styles I was interested in, so I explored other martial arts until I eventually found a Pak Mei (White Eyebrow) Kung Fu class and resumed my training.

Unfortunately, that class didn’t last, so I continued studying various arts, including Zen Chuan and Taekwondo. In the early eighties, I discovered Wing Chun when a friend invited me to a class in Brighton, sparking what would become my lifelong passion for Wing Chun.

After a car accident in Thailand, doctors advised me to avoid martial arts training, and for some years, I only trained sporadically. In 2004, my 12 year old son encouraged me to take up martial arts again, and after some searching, we both began training in Nam Pai Chuan, a Shaolin-based system. Realising that my doctors might have been overly cautious, I sought out a Wing Chun class and resumed my training.

Now, after years of practice and dedication, I continue training under Sifu Wes Hussey at WCKUK while leading classes at Brighton Wing Chun.
