Sifu Tony Brooks

Sifu Tony Brooks has been doing Wing Chun Kung fu for well over a decade, and has been teaching it for many years. He completed Wing Chun in 1997 and has Wing Chun experience taught in Hong Kong through, normal classes, personal tuition, seminars and sparring classes, from Sifu President Ron Heimberger, Sifu Ip Ching and Sifu Ip Chun.

 The special level of Wing Chun, Biu Jee is where those considered family and morally good are given/taught. Sifu Tony has been taught beyond this level by all of his teachers and qualified in both weapons when normally students only taught one of the two types, long range and close range. 

Sifu Tony is a positive, friendly and well-mannered person. He is respected by his students for the fun and enjoyable way that they are able to learn.

Before starting Wing Chun, Sifu Tony had done multiple types of Martial Arts. After learning Wing Chun he does not use anything else because he says Wing Chun covers everything and is a total Martial Art not needing other styles to complete it as many do. When he trained in ground wrestling, he found only Wing Chun trained in groin, eye, biting etc defence stopping any grapple efforts made Wing Chun the Ultamate style for him. Especially when his friends in JKD all wanted Wing Chun as the Pinnacle of skill over stronger weights and the only Martial Art Bruce Lee wanted for himself.

His respectful and polite manner makes him easy to talk to and an excellent teacher and his in-depth understanding of Wing Chun allows him to give his students the very best quality of tuition.

Sifu Tony promotes respect, friendliness and understanding among his students and does not teach aggressive or bad minded people. His aim is that people can learn Wing Chun in an enjoyable environment without injury or stress.

He credits his skill to, and emphasis great appreciation for his Teachers from Hong Kong where he Qualified by President Sifu Ron Heimberger, and Ip Mans Sons, Sifu Ip Ching and Sifu Ip Chun.

Sifu Tony has found Wing Chun essential to jobs he has done from bouncer, bodyguard, repo agent, and licensed recovery and rescue where experience has given him a greater appreciation for all and life. He Teaches and has taught various people from Police, CIB, Bodyguard Services, Bouncers, Security Agents, Customs etc, and those looking for a compedent self defence. 

This Qualified Diploma style is direct from Hong Kong this Wing Chun lineage is found no where else in Aotearoa New Zealand. Sifu Tony Brooks said he would be proud to be a fraction of the great skill of Sifu Ron Heimberger, Sifu Ip Ching and Sifu Ip Chun, -Magic Masters of Wing Chun.

Sifu Tony regularly enjoys visiting and sparring his family and friends in Hong Kong, where Bruce Lee was taught by GrandMaster Ip Man and where many Sifus from around the world try their skill .
