What a great morning we had delivering this session recently, and a big thank you to to the BIBA Greater Manchester Committee & everyone involved in making it happen.

Myself and the team really enjoyed spending time with everyone.

For me, the interaction is one of the most valuable parts of what we do. Self-protection isn’t just about physical techniques — it’s about awareness, confidence, communication and knowing how to respond when situations don’t go as planned.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part for your enthusiasm, participation and support. It was a pleasure to deliver the session.

We were delighted to be part of BIBA Greater Manchester Committee first event at the conference, and it was a real honour to be involved.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended. Your fantastic feedback means so much to us, and we hope you found the session both informative and entertaining. If you couldn’t make it this year, hopefully we’ll see you next year!

In the meantime, if you’d like to find out more about Han Lon Eastern Concepts and the training courses we offer, we’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch to see how we can support you or your organisation.

Well done to everyone who attended our weapons of Wing Chun seminar in Harrogate, it was a great turnout. Thank you for all your messages saying how much you enjoyed it. Thanks again to all my advanced students who helped with the tuition on the day. This year is my 35th year of teaching Wing Chun and our club is still going strong. To all my students thank you all for your continued support.

Children’s Mental Health Week

3rd – 9th February 2025

This year’s theme, know yourself, grow yourself, encourages children and young people to use self-awareness to understand themselves and their emotions. This skill can help children build resilience, which can help them to manage whatever life throws at them.

I recently had the pleasure of having an interview with Happy Jo Coaching, to discuss self-defence advice (video below).

Jo is on a mission to bring out a confident shine in all teens. She believes that with the right tools and strategies, teens can overcome obstacles, repair relationships, and foster a positive outlook in all aspects of life.
