BRUCE LEE to WING CHUN WARRIOR Peter Mogridge

World of Martial Arts Show

A Martial Arts Odyssey from Bruce Lee to Wing Chun Mastery

In this captivating episode, Peter Mogridge talks to Andrew Staton at

the Doncaster UK Martial Arts Show.

Peter, a seasoned martial artist with decades of experience, shares his

incredible journey from being inspired by Bruce Lee to becoming a Wing

Chun master under Grandmaster Samuel Kwok. Peter's martial arts

adventure began in the 1970s, driven by the Bruce Lee craze that swept

the world.

Despite starting with Shotokan Karate, he eventually found his true

calling in Wing Chun. His path was far from straightforward, involving

stints in Aikido, Thai Boxing, and Wadoryu Karate, among others. Peter's

dedication and passion for martial arts led him to train with notable

figures like Sean Vieira and Nathan Lewis, becoming part of the renowned

Bristol Death Squad.

One of the highlights of Peter's journey is his close relationship with

Grandmaster Samuel Kwok. After facing challenges with a previous Wing

Chun club, Peter found a mentor and friend in Samuel Kwok, achieving

Sifu status and travelling the world to teach and promote Wing Chun.

Peter's insights into the philosophy and practical applications of Wing

Chun are profound, emphasising its potential for self-improvement,

peace, and flexibility.

Peter also discusses his involvement in combat survival training,

highlighting the importance of situational awareness and risk assessment

in today's world. He shares valuable advice on avoiding conflict and

the realities of knife defence, stressing the importance of running away

rather than engaging.

Beyond martial arts, Peter is active in close protection work and is

setting up a new school overseas to train high-risk environment close

protection operators. He is also working on a charity initiative to

support military veterans.

An inspiring and insightful conversation with Peter Mogridge, a martial

artist who embodies dedication, resilience, and the spirit of continuous

learning.
