Master Nick Martin
Sifu Nick Martin is a bright star, respected and liked within the Association. He has inspired many students and simply leads by example. Nick has passed three gradings to date and will certainly go on to pass the entire syllabus if things progress as they have so far.
Sifu Nick, made his ‘bones’ by training and teaching at our HQ and is a training partner for none other than Sifu Mark Phillips. He has now moved on to run three of his own successful branches. Nick is training and teaching full time and his fitness classes on Sunday morning have Nick Martin Sifu Wing Chun Kung Fu Mastercompletely changed those attending. Possibly the fittest individual in the Association, he is like a Duracell battery!
Nick teaches private and small group lessons at our HQ and also teaches the blind and disabled.
Nick also trained very hard in Grappling too. He made very good progress.
In 2004 he entered his first grappling competition and won the Middleweight Gold Medal. In the video below you can watch Nick in the competition winning the Middleweight final with a transition to a trianagle choke
