I got to know of Shifu Patrick, teaching wing chun thru the internet and joined his class. Shifu Patrick Is alway meticulous in his teaching and will always selflessly share with us knowledge of the history of wing chun and the difference between each lineage of wing chun.

Thank you Master Patrick Tham and and all brothers in class! 🙏🏻 Have been learning Cho Ga Wing Chun from Master Patrick for over 15 years. Through the practices I found my responsiveness to things happening around me was sharpened and most of the time faster. Master Patrick teaches the external form of the art and the flow of strength when executing it. This is important because our strength varies at different times, and reduces when we age, when we understand where the strength of each execution comes from, we are no longer solely dependent on just physical strength alone. This principle not only applies to executing the art, but also applies to all aspects… Learning Cho Ga Wing chun had brought my understanding of Kongfu to a whole new level. Much time and hard work were spent in acquiring the basic 13-hands which preceded Xiu Nim Tao – both carrying the fundamental essence of this art! Shifu had repeatedly emphasized on the importance of the spontaneity in the application of the art instead of drilling on the stiff mechanical movement, which is truly important. Cho Ga Wing chun is after all not a performativity showmanship kongfu. The history behind the establishment of the martial arts had defined the practicality of it and the kind… Master Patrick Tham is truly a professional in his field and has introduced the core concepts of Cho Ga like the emphasis on Centre line offense and Defense, the fluid combination of arms and legwork during combat, anyone can learn this martial art irregardless of your age, I highly recommend for those seeking to improve their level of understanding of Wing Chun and looking to improve their current level to contact and arrange a session of Cho Ga Wing Chun with Master Patrick I first started Wing Chun with Patrick Sifu more than 12 years ago. Before this, I had been an active competitor in Karate for years. I had also tried a few martial arts. Patrick Sifu teaches a very authentic and practical style of Wingchun. He is not only able to display amazing speed and power, but is also able to clearly explain the concepts and theory behind his moves, which is very important to a student. Without a sound and systematic way of explanation, a student can only learn the surface of any martial art through imitation. The Wing Chun… I’m Moroccan man 20 years experience of martial arts and MMA but when I started learning Cho Ga Wing Chun under Sifu Patrick for two years I confirmed that the best method of martial arts which is totally, completely, technically, pedagogically, physically, mentally and confidently to upgrade fighting and safety.

He always made sure to give each student the attention they need and delivers the teaching in a way where it’s really simple to understand. His mastery and passion for the martial art, coupled with his wittiness makes every lesson a joy to attend. Training with Patrick Shifu is never dull and boring. He will always encourage his students to be creative and daring during applications. Patrick Shifu believes no opponent is there to wait for you to apply your syllabus, one has to adapt to situation and apply/improvise your techniques. He is always there to answer your doubts in training. Till date, Sifu Patrick Tham’s class is the longest class I have ever taken. Remembering those 8 years, I would turn down social opportunities because I need to attend my wing chun class. Cho Ga Wing Chun has become an integral part of my life. Along the way, the learning builds my character, awareness and patience; it still does. I am lucky to have been learning from Patrick and I am sure anyone else would too. Cho Ga Wing Chun is a martial art I learned from Sifu Patrick Tham. It’s a strong, powerful and yet gentle n refine art that Sifu Patrick taught us. Being a senior in age, Sifu impressed and imparted to me the gentle and refine aspects. Learning the possibility of self defence, good exercise and a beautiful art. With his martial arts background and thorough knowledge of Cho Ga Wing Chun, he taught us the strength and beauty of Cho Ga Wing Chun with patience and clear explanations. I have learned Cho Ga Wing Chun with Sifu Patrick for about 3years. Initially I was abit sceptical about Wing Chun but after I start learning from Sifu I am convinced that Wing Chun is not only a very practical martial art, it is also a extremely efficient martial art. Through Sifu lesson I have learned how to translate and apply the techniques I have learn during lesson on to real life scenario. I have truly benefited a lot from Sifu lesson. Thank you Sifu Patrick 以前总在电影里，杂志上或书籍上知道有个武功叫《詠春》在一个机缘巧合之下，我拜在了曹家詠春-谭师父门下，开始了学习内家拳-詠春。谭师父在教导徒弟们时，会把曹家詠春拳的每招，每式，每手都一一演绎与讲解它的重点和特处，以达至快、狠、准，让徒弟们很快的就能理解与贯通，曹家詠春拳的十三手，套路，刀法，棍法，谭师父都会一一细心教导，除此之外谭师父还会教导我们在实战中如何运用与变通。我在曹家詠春学习了一至二年，晃如判若两人，让我对武学有了更深的认知，也让我自己更自信了…… 以守为攻，以攻为守，亦攻亦守，连消带打。内家拳—曹家詠春 -。 Took up the interest to learn Wing Chun and i chanced upon Cho Ga Wing Chun.
