About the club

The club was opened in 2009 by our instructor Grahame Tinsley. He started teaching at the University of London Union/Student Central club in 2004 and wanted to help grow the Shaolin Nam Pai Chuan system by opening another centre. He handed over the ULU club in 2015 to focus on and ensure the continuing development of the Brunel centre. He is a 5th degree black belt with over 30 years of experience and he has trained at several centres with various senior instructors. Since 2001 he has trained with Sifu Steve Leppard at the Kings College/Central London club.

Grahame Tinsley teaches his students with the same focus and commitment which he has been and continues to be taught, and believes in developing students into well rounded martial artists and individuals. He ensures all students get the best from themselves, both physically and mentally and passes on all the benefits that Shaolin Nam Pai Chuan has to offer. He believes size is irrelevant in martial arts and as such strives to ensure all students develop their technical understanding. Practical application is also vital and therefore self defence is an important component of classes. He adopts a balance of traditional and modern teaching and training techniques to ensure students benefit from a variety of approaches, yet always in a safe, rewarding and fun environment.
