  • Sifu Garry McKenzie is a direct student of GrandMaster Ip Ching (son of Ip Man), and Chief Instructor of The Wing Chun School.
    Sifu Garry teaches at the Headquarters in Hackney, North - East London, and also teaches privately. His Martial Arts training began in 1976 with Tae Kwon Do, and then later Western Boxing. He began training in Wing Chun in 1982 at the age of 17, at the Wing Chun Martial Arts Academy. By 1985 he was already assistant instructor at the headquarters in Albany Street London NW1, and represented the Wing Chun Martial Arts Academy in a number of demonstrations and seminars in London and abroad. In 1987 Sifu Garry opened his first school under the Wing Chun Martial Arts Academy, followed by another in Hoddesdon in Hertfordshire, England.
    This is his story - his journey from the streets of London, to the streets of China - and then on to the path of Islam!

    SubhaanAllah, the end of this podcast really touched me. I am from a family with a Christian background (from Ethiopia), and I became a Muslim around 2005. My father, who had suffered from a stroke in 1999 and as a result had hemiplegia, took his shahada in 2007 at the age of 65. He passed away last month on the 12th of December during laylatul jumu’a after Maghrib exactly 20 years after his stroke, and I washed his body and prayed janaza over him leading a congregation of around 150 people in Finland the next day after Friday prayers. Many similarities in our stories; may Allah have mercy on both of our fathers as well as all Muslims.

      May Allah forgive your father for all of his sins. May he be given Jannat ul Firdaus al ala. Alhamdulillah, he died as a Muslim. May Allah forgive us so much to the extent where our evil sins are converted into good deeds.

    • @beardedbloke2521
      @beardedbloke2521 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @pseudoswitch I actually do Wing Chun and Muay Thai. Both systems have very similar concepts and work perfectly together. To be good at Wing Chun requires a lot of practice under the best of instructors. My instructor has learnt martial arts from many skilled fighters and his prime focus is Wing Chun. Stop basing your argument on some videos of idiots on TH-cam - the same idiots my Instructor himself says deserve a beating.
