The Best Place to Train Wing Chun in Bangkok

bangkok wing chun

If you are thinking of studying Wing Chun in Bangkok, then there's only one place to train, and that's the Thailand Wing Chun Club, the first and only officially recognised professional Wing Chun club in Bangkok, as licensed by the International Wing Chun Organization.

Run by Sifu Panor, a Master of over 17 years experience, the club has recently opened a new studio just 150 meters from Bang Na station.

Sifu Panor is of the Yip Man lineage, and recently finished training in China with a number of famous teachers, renowned for their knowledge, skill and lineage.

The Thailand Wing Chun Club is based around the grass roots of Wing Chun philosophy. The vibe is one of a community, a family atmosphere where students help each other, learn together and create lasting friendships. As the Wing Chun forefathers taught, egos should be left outside the club.

The Thailand Wing Chun Club is as much about mental and spiritual growth as it is about getting fit and learning the ancient, beautiful art.

If you are thinking about training Wing Chun but don't know much about it, here's a quick overview for you.

What is Wing Chun?

Wing Chun is a Chinese martial art that utilises a solid stance, fluidity, energy and body structure to deflect or redirect external force, and therefore enables a Wing Chun practitioner to beat a stronger opponent.  They say a Wing Chun stance is “like a piece of bamboo, firm but flexible, rooted but yielding”.

Wing Chun isn't about competing or being aggressive – although in time it becomes a great self-protection tool – it is about self-development and conditioning the mind, body and soul. Wing Chun utilises forms to learn graceful, but potentially lethal movements of the arms and legs, and is also a great way to unwind, channel energy and de-stress from work.

Wing Chun in Bangkok

There are very few reputable places to do Wing Chun in Thailand, let alone Bangkok. When I first arrived I searched for some time with little luck. Eventually my extensive search led me to meet Sifu Panor and I joined as his student.

The club has gone through many changes, with students coming and going over the years, and the club relocating twice. But one thing that hasn't changed is the friendly atmosphere and fun learning created by Sifu Panor.

The Location

To get there you currently need to go to Bang Na BTS station, then either jump on a motorbike taxi or walk the easy 150 meters to the club.

About Sifu Panor

Master Panor is a friendly, down to earth guy who speaks English, German and Thai. He has studied Wing Chun for over 17 years and also knows various other martial art techniques. Unlike many other Wing Chun teachers, Master Panor has competition experience, having fought in many semi- and full contact mixed martial art bouts in his teens and early twenties. He is also proficient in Muay Thai.

His free flowing teaching style allows you to ask all your “what if's”, request demonstrations at any time, and learn specific things that you feel are important for you. For example, presently we have two ladies in the class who often request to learn practical self-defence techniques to use in the event of being attacked in the street.

The Cost of Wing Chun In Bangkok

I have been learning with Sifu Panor for over three years now, and although I had prior Wing Chun experience in the UK, I have learnt so much in a relatively short space of time. I believe this is due to his personalised teaching approach and a smaller class that adopts a Thai family-style culture.

No matter what level of Wing Chun you are, you are welcome at the Thailand Wing Chun Club in Bangkok. And if you are thinking of taking up a hobby, then why not try Wing Chun.

Sifu Panor offers a free introductory lesson to all newcomers, and the monthly price for three sessions a week (Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday) is a mere 3,000 Baht, all of which, by the way, regularly run over the allotted time. Put it this way, you will always get a lot more than you pay for at this club.

Single class lessons are 400 Baht each.

In true Thai style the class has a warm family vibe and everyone is welcome. We are all there to help each, have fun, get fit, and of course, learn Wing Chun!

If you need any further information feel free to contact me.

    • Unfortunately I don’t know the answer to your question but I’m sure TTL will probably fill you in shortly. I do have a question for you though? Why do you want to study Wing Chun for only 2 months? After all 2 months is not nearly enough time to become even remotely proficient in any style. And why have you studied so many different styles of martial arts in the past? Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a purest at all and I have nothing against mixing styles. In fact, even back in the 70’s I was a big proponent of mixing both boxing and grappling techniques with traditional martial arts, which is exactly what MMA fighters do today. However there is also something to be said for sticking with one thing until you are fairly proficient at it.I should also mention that if you like all the flashy high kicks that are used in Tae Kwon Do and some other martial arts you might be disappointed with Wing Chun. It’s all about economy of movement and efficiency and as such it is probably also the least flashy or showy of all the martial arts. In fact 90 percent of what Bruce Lee did in his films had nothing to do with Wing Chun and all those high kicks were just for the movies.Still, I guess the only way to know if it’s for you or not is to try it out. And in my opinion Wing Chun is probably the most effective of all the Chinese martial arts styles.

    • Hi Siraj,I'm not sure what the price is in rupees. Last time I went to the class it was about 3,000 Baht a month ; so work that out in rupees on ex.com. You can have private lessons too. As Ken said, Wing Chun is pretty slow going to begin with, and this is why most people lose patience with it and do something more instantly gratifying like Muay Thai. Since you have solid experience in martial arts, of you trained daily, you might be able to achieve your first form within the two months.

  6. When you say that “Sifu Panor if of the Yip Man lineage” are you saying that he studied directly under one of Yip Mans original students, like William Cheung or Wong Shun Leung (or “flying soot” as he was sometimes known)? In any case it sounds like this would be a good class. Unfortunately when I retire to Thailand in a few years I will probably be living on the coast. If I end up in Bangkok I will definitely check it out though.

    • Hi Surez, there is no class on Sunday at the moment. It is on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday:Tuesday & Thursday - 7pm-8.30pm Saturday - 12pm - 1pm.Monthly cost is 3,000 Baht. Buy 2 months and get a 20% discount.

                • Bruce Lee supposedly started taking martial arts lessons after he was beat up by a kid at his school who was a Kung-Fu practitioner. And he chose Wing Chung simply because that’s what his friend, William Cheung, was already learning as a student of the late great Yip Man. Anyway, according to William, just 3-months after Bruce started his training he challenged the kid who had beat him up and this time defeated him. Also within a relatively short time Bruce was able to defeat many of the senior Wing Chun students who had been training much longer than he had.So, anything is possible. But lets face it, Bruce Lee was no ordinary student. In fact, he was always obsessively practicing all day long, everyday. The guy was basically fanatical about his training. And how fast you learn any martial art and are able to effectively use it in combat pretty much depends on your own commitment and your own inherent abilities.In any case, I personally think the first thing you need to ask yourself before choosing a style is why you primarily want to study martial arts in the first place. Some do it purely for self-defense, while others, like me, look at it as just another challenging and competitive sport like tennis or car racing. Then there are those who look at it as some form of spiritual enlightenment. In fact, you’ll occasionally run across one of these types who acts as though he thinks he is Kwai Chang Caine (I loved that show as kid).Anyway, if you want to learn a fighting art primarily for self defense I would personally recommend mixed martial arts, as its effectiveness has been proven time and time again in the ring. And since most street fights end up on the ground, whatever style you choose has to teach effective grappling techniques.In my opinion though the people who tend to end up in street fights are either looking for trouble, or they are constantly worried that trouble will find them. Anxiety about a thing happening tends to cause it to really happen, believe it or not.Also, where street fighting is concerned the truth is the skill level, attitude, and combat savviness of the individual is MUCH more important than his particular style. And when two guys get into a street fight they are rarely at the same skill level. Its also true that no matter how good you become there will always be someone out there in the world who is better – or at least better on that day. But as long as you have the skills to put up a good fight then there should be no shame or humiliation associated with defeat (getting your ass kicked). And this is good because while bruises heal very quickly psychological scars can last a lifetime.As for Wing Chun, the thing I find most appealing about it is how economical and efficient the techniques are. Back when I was into martial arts I was always analyzing all the moves and figuring out ways to make them more economical, efficient, and effective and some of the moves I developed are eerily similar to some Wing Chun techniques. Anyway, whoever invented Wing Chun obviously thought much in the same way as I do and that is why I am so fascinated by it. But like I said before, you have to figure out what your primary motivation is for learning martial arts before you decide on a style.

                  • I'd agree with the point that if you want to learn to be able to defend yourself in the shortest time possible, MMA is probably best. Wing Chun does utilize kicks, but low kicks, and it does deal with grappling well, and few people know that it does have technique to deal with ground fighting, but these come much later on and certainly won't be learned in the first year. That said, Sifu Panor is quite different to other teachers in that he is open to tailoring your learning to specific goals you have. Remember though: unlike MMA, WC uses attack as a defence -- a block is always followed by a counter, in sequence.Developed by a nun, it is designed for smaller, weaker people to defeat stronger opponents by using their strength against them. It is a graceful, fluid art that takes time to develop.To touch on what Ken said, I'd go into WC for the challenge of learning, to develop your body in terms of physical and mental health, to learn patience, for a stress release and to enjoy the tradition, not with a view to fighting. As a young guy Sifu Panor did fight competitively, but he does not encourage his students to do so. Though he does believe in teaching how to defend yourself in real-life situations.

                    • Good points! And some of what you said reminded me that I forgot to take this guy possible size into account. Being 6’-2” tall myself that was never a consideration for me but for women or small men I would certainly be more likely to recommend a martial arts style which uses your opponents size against him, like Aikido or Wing Chun.As for the Nun who supposedly invented it I learned that same story myself (along with a few others) back in the 70’s or early 80’s when I first took an interest in Wing Chun. But while this is the most popularized and most accepted story, I also learned that due to all the monks having to go into hiding at that time there are no written records to conclusively prove the exact origins of the style one way or the other. So basically nobody knows for sure. It certainly seems like something that could have been developed by a woman though.By the way, I know of course that in pretty much all martial arts you must completely master a set of techniques before moving on to the next, unlike boxing or MMA where you learn all the moves fairly quickly and then just build up your overall speed and skill over time. But my question is; in your particular class do people move on to more advanced techniques as fast as they can master the old ones, or does the training just progress at a relatively steady and uniform pace for all? And are there a relatively fixed set of standards for advancement, such as in Karate, or is it rather subjective and totally up to one persons opinion?I’m also curious what you think about the supposed secret footwork. As you know in the old days Kung-Fu masters were known to hold back certain elements of their fighting art and only pass down these secrets to one chosen successor. And in the case of Wing Chun, William Chueng claims to be this person. This would certainly make sense since he and Yip Map shared an apartment for a time before his death, but I guess we will never know for sure.Speaking of William, he once told an interesting story about Yip Man from their time living together. As the story goes, Yip Man went to get some water from the local water tap for his neighborhood only to discover that 6 young thugs armed with long wooden poles had taken it over and were demanding money from people to get water. Well, apparently Yip Man was not in the mood that day for putting up with this sort of crap and he got a little ticked off and told them to hit the road. Naturally these thugs didn’t think they had anything to fear from this frail looking little man in his 70’s so they told him to mind his own business. Big mistake! Yip quickly relieved one of the thugs of his staff and then used it to beat all six of them senseless.

                • If you are referring Yip Man in your final comments I’m afraid he didn’t really teach his students directly. And he especially did not spar or do chi sau with them because he was afraid that this would slow down his own reflexes (I think this is a belief that was held by many old time Kung-Fu masters). He just initially taught a few senior students and then they did all of the teaching from that point forward. In fact, it was apparently a fairly rare honor for a student to get the chance to do a few seconds of Chi Sau with Yip Man.The senior students by the way also controlled all of Yip’s finances as well. They took in the money, paid the bills, and then gave Yip an allowance. This might sound strange but considering that the guy was an opium addict it actually makes a lot of sense. And incidentally, this is also supposedly how these senior students got Bruce Lee kicked out. You see a lot of them did not like Bruce because he did not respect seniority but only ones actual skill level. In other words, if he was better than another student he did not think he had to listen to them just because they had been there longer. And he would sometimes challenge them and win to prove that he was the more skilled of the two. Also Bruce did do some rather underhanded things at times. For example, it is said that on several occasions he got to class early and told the other arriving students that class had been cancelled so that he could then get one-on-one time with the senior instructor, Wong Shun Leung (not cool in my opinion).Anyway when it was learned that Bruce was ¼ German they tried to use this to get him kicked out, since at the time it was not allowed to teach Kung-Fu to non-Chinese. But Yip liked Bruce so much that he refused to kick him out (Bruce was jokester and always made Yip laugh). So eventually the students who controlled the purse strings threatened to cut Yip off, which of course would mean no more opium. So, he finally relented.

  8. For those following this post, and any newcomers, the class is now open again with Sifu Panor. I've updated the post with all the correct details. Private lessons are available too. There's a new Facebook page too (see the contact details at the end of the post). The class is pretty small at the moment but will be expanding quickly, so it's a great time to join for a dedicated learning experience. Peace.

    • Hi Stan, this post refers to the old wing chun club. The new club is a short walk from Bearing BTS station. I have been down there a few times but haven't gotten around to taking pictures and getting all the details to post here. I am meeting the owner on Friday so I'll get the details and update this post soon. Is it really 8,000 a month now? Wow, that's pretty pricey, although the club is epic!

  19. The BTS and MRT links are very good for getting around town, bettert han the UK, that's for sure.Khao San road is actually pretty out the way, in terms of where most stuff is happening in BKK.Here's some directions from Yahoo! Just do them in reverse to get to the center of town. Bearing is accessible from any BTS station. It's near th end of the line but only takes 15 minutes or so from Asok (center of town).Getting to Khao San Rd..Take the BTS sky train to Saphan Taksin station. Walk out of the station and go towards the river where you'll see Sathorn Pier. Boats arrive at the pier every couple of minutes. Take a boat heading north (to your right hand side) to Phra Arthit Pier. (Just make sure you don't get on a boat with a yellow flag, as they are the only boats that don't stop at Phra Arthit Pier.) Once at the pier, walk out onto the street and anyone here will be able to give you quick directions to Khao San Road. It's a two-minute walk.Always take the boat to Khao San Road during rush hour, as it's the only mode of transportation guaranteed to not have traffic jams.How to Get to Khao San Road by BTS Sky Train - You can't go all the way to Khao San Road via BTS sky train as the closest station, National Stadium, is still a few miles away. But, you can take the sky train to National Stadium and then jump in a taxi from here. Just make sure you get into a taxi on the same side of the street as MBK (Mahboonkrong Mall), as that's the direction the taxi will be driving in.If you are planning on travelling over to Bearing a fair few times it would be worth staying nearer the center of town. Khao San is a nightmare to get to anytime there is traffic.Hope this helps.

Hi there,I am thai and thirteen years old and I have been interested in learning wing Chun, as I lived in China for most of my life, and after watching the films I decided to find lessons but I had to move to another country for my fathers job. I came across this website and was very interested about learning from Sifu Panor. I am very interested in trying to learn wing chun and this place i think is ideal for me. However, is he willing to teach people my age? I know Muay Thai and some judo.

  28. Thank you. I'm just trying to spread the art that was kindly passed down to me by my Sifu to as many people as possible. I realize that most people who post here are in Bangkok and Hat Yai is a long way to travel, but if some of them could get together to form a training group I could be persuaded to fly up on weekends to teach. I know how frustrating it can be to find good, authentic Chinese martial arts instruction. There are a lot of pretenders out there, so I would advise people to check the authenticity of the lineage and background of any potential teacher.

  43. hey,i have for the past few months seriously considered taking Wing Chun. I use to do Karate but i found the art to be too formalized or commercialized, if you know what i mean, as if it were just for the tournaments. I was really influenced by the Ip Man films and as i read through Wing Chun, all said it was for health benefits and all other social and other benefits that it brings. But i was just wondering if this training place is the same way, or is it also for competition.Thanks a lot for this.
    Reply

    • Hi Giri.This class is not geared towards any competition. It is currently a fairly small class that is very friendly and welcoming of all levels. We all train together and help each other get better. The thing about wing chun is that competitions are difficult to implement because the moves are designed to finish attackers quickly and efficiently, rather than to score points or leave the opponent capable of carrying on. I think there are semi contact wing chun competitions in some countries, and i know that chi sau competitions have also become popular in China, chi sau being a type of wing chun sparring using technical hand movements, speed and touch (feeling). We do spa in class sometimes, but it is controlled.You are more than welcome to come along for a free trial session. Let me know if you want to come this saturday and i will pass you my sifu's number.Thanks

    • Hi Adam, welcome to thethailandlife, thanks for dropping by.As you probably know already, the most popular place to study Wing Chun in Asia is in China. There are several schools I have come across in Google that offer the full experience including accommodation and daily training on site. Thailand isn't known for Wing Chun, as its main attraction for westerners is Muay Thai. In fact there are only a handful of worthy Wing Chun teachers here. If you are wanting to stay in Thailand or make it part of your trip, then you have two good options in separate parts of the country. Firstly there is my Sifu, Panor, based in Bangkok; he is available for private lessons and intense one to one training, and also runs a class three times a week. Other than that you have a guy in Hua Hin who teaches Wing Tsun, a slightly different linage of Wing Chun, but effectively the same thing. I don't have much information on him but have heard great things - you can google "wing chun hua hin" and get the full low down, I know he definitely offers training package holidays. However, if you are looking for a teacher in Bangkok that offers flexibility, which allows you to travel intermittently, and a teacher who is very reasonably priced, I highly recommend my sifu. If you would like his contact details please let me know and I will put you in touch.In terms of budget for a stay in Thailand, you could get by nicely on $1,600 (U.S.) a month, perhaps 1,300. If you don't drink a lot of alcohol, eat local foods and stay in modest accommodation you will save more. In more rural areas $1000 should cover you nicely. Socialising, eating at western style restaurants and travelling are your biggest costs.
