Club History
Our Wimbledon club has a very special place in the history of the UKKFF. It was the original martial arts school opened by Sifu Lee Paul Heron when he first began teaching across the South-West London area.

The club opened its doors in 1999 and was originally located in St John’s Church Hall, South Wimbledon. Our small but dedicated membership met there each & every week until the start of 2002, and we are proud to report that several of these original members are still with us, more than a decade further on!

When LPH began teaching the martial arts as a full-time profession instead of a part-time hobby, the class numbers rapidly expanded. Thus in May 2002 we moved the club to larger & better appointed premises at Wimbledon Leisure Centre. This supportive & well-appointed venue continues to be the home of our Wimbledon club, and we are still going strong.

Come & Join Us
Our Wimbledon club has welcomed students from many surrounding areas of London including Colliers Wood, Tooting, Mitcham, Streatham, Wimbledon Park, Morden, Raynes Park & Mitcham. If you’re within reach and want to know more about real martial arts, come & give us a try for 4 weeks, completely FREE. You’ll find us friendly, relaxed, happy to share knowledge, and experts at what we do. Welcome to the UKKFF.

In-Class Escrima Workshop

On Thursday 8th March 2012, we will be running a special in-class Escrima Workshop at UKKFF Kingston-Upon-Thames.

This event will take place between 20.00 – 22.00 during the usual Thursday evening Escrima General Class, and is open to all members who are currently studying Escrima with us.

The workshop will be led by Instructor Wayne Tappin 3TG, and will focus upon giving more detail upon the core syllabus of the Escrima Concepts Weapons System in preparation for the end-of-term assessments a few weeks later (on 24th March).

There is a £10 charge per-person for this workshop, which will reimburse Wayne for his tuition, his petrol, and his time in driving the 250-mile round trip from Clacton to visit us.

This fee may be paid in cash on the evening, or ideally in advance via debit/credit card using our event pre-booking service, which will save us time on the day.

We look forward to seeing many of our Escrimadors along at Kingston for a good session with Wayne.
