About Me: Sifu Jens Thinnesen
The first time I met my Sifu (Martin Gale) was during one of the Tse Qigong Centre residential Wing Chun courses. At that time, I was studying Wing Chun with a local club in Grimsby (where I live) and I had seen the residential course advertised in the Qi Magazine. Although I knew nobody, I was made to feel very welcome and fromthe very first day of the course,formed some friendships with people that will never be lost. I spent as much time rolling hands with as many people as I could. Every one of them had such a high level of skill and was willing to share it with me, that after the course, I came back to Grimsby knowing that my path would take me back to the Tse Qigong Centre.
I believe it was fate. The nearest class to me was Leeds and is taught by my Sifu who was one of the people who welcomed me on the first day of the residential course. Although we both live at opposite sides of the country we meet in the middle for class each week. At the class in Leeds I also discovered Qigong and found that this has not only improved my health, but has helped my Wing Chun skill to develop as well. Now time has gone by so quickly that I am now in a privileged position to teach my own class. I have a great Sifu and good fellow students and I hope my students benefit as much from the Wing Chun and Qigong and each other as much as I do in my class.
