Wing Chun Foundation Lagos, also known as the Wing Chun Body Fitness Foundation for Workers and Children, is an NGO based in Lagos, Nigeria. It focuses on mental resilience, emotional balance, and physical wellness through Wing Chun martial arts. The foundation offers structured training in Wing Chun, CQC, and Tai Chi, while also exploring indigenous West African martial traditions.[1][2][3]

Leadership

Established in response to a growing demand for alternative wellness and self-discipline programs in Lagos, the foundation began by hosting a series of pop-up kwoons in both island and mainland locations within Lagos State.[4] These sessions provided accessible martial arts instruction. On February 6, 2025, it became a member of the Lagos Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI), West Africa's oldest chamber of commerce, an affiliation that has further connected it with broader cultural and economic initiatives in the region.[5][4]

The foundation is led by Ade Olufeko. His martial arts journey began with Wing Chun (Ving Tsun), training within the Moy Yat Ving Tsun System in both New York City and Houston, Texas, USA. His approach integrates principles of geometry and spatial awareness with traditional Wing Chun techniques, creating a structured system that emphasizes efficiency, adaptability, and situational awareness.[4][6]
