The CRCA UK is the United Kingdom branch of Randy William's Close Range Combat Academy for Wing Chun Gung Fu.

We have Wing Chun clubs in Derby, Nottingham, Long Eaton, St. Austell and Cheltenham. We are currently looking to open new clubs and expand further.

The main aim of CRCA UK is to teach the art of Wing Chun to the best of our ability to all those who are willing to learn and respect the system.

All our classes have a friendly atmosphere - we want everyone to enjoy training, have fun but also to work hard!

All class instructors are themselves high-grade students of chief instructor Sifu Jason Clarke. Jason has been practicing Wing Chun for over 15 Years (as of April 2008) and is based in Nottinghamshire, UK. He is currently studying the system under Sifu Randy Williams, founder of the Close Range Combat Academy (CRCA). CRCA is based in the USA, but has clubs all over the world, including Italy, Australia, Romania, Germany, Chile, Spain, France, South Africa, Romania, Qatar, Sicily, Switzerland, Singapore and of course, England. We are the only official representitive of the CRCA in the UK, and it is the CRCA's exact style of Wing Chun that we teach.

The CRCA's international popularity is a result of many years of hard work by Randy, carrying out the teachings of Wing Chun that he received from Sifu George Yau, Sifu Augustine Fong (America) and Sifu Ho Kam Ming (Hong Hong).
Randy has worked with world-famous celebrities such as Al Pacino, Andy Garcia and Antonio Banderas. He has worked as a bodyguard for such stars as Steven Seagal, Eric Clapton, Phil Collins and U2.
In addition to his schools, Randy is well known for his books and especially for his numerous and detailed DVDs/Videos. Randy's friends in the martial arts world include famous instructors such as Dan Lee and Ted Wong, considered to be two of Bruce Lee's best students.
At the time of writing Randy has been training in Wing Chun for over 35 years.
