Paul Brown

After 12 years in the Army, I left and found work in London as a reliability engineer and took up Wing Chun. I was inspired by Ip Man and after doing some research I found CAMA in July 2021 and trained as often as my free time would allow. Achieving black sash in Nov 2023 is only the beginning for me and I intent to take my learning and understanding to a much deeper level, with the help and guidance of Sifu Mark and Sigung Clive Potter.
