Quality over numbers
More time to train. More room to understand.
Arrive on Monday 1 March and depart on Sunday 7 March 2027. Train from Tuesday 2 March to Saturday 6 March inclusive: five training days in the middle of the retreat, with six nights’ sleeping accommodation in a large property.
Learn real, authentic Ip Man Ving Tsun with Sifu Rob Ley, who trained under his late Sifu, Grandmaster Roland Tong, a direct student of Ip Man. This teacher-to-student lineage informs a practical, traditional approach to understanding the art, not simply collecting techniques.
Give yourself time to explore how structure, centreline and sensitivity work together. With personal guidance and space to revisit the details, the aim is meaningful learning: a clearer understanding of your practice and confidence grounded in that understanding, rather than quick fixes or promises.
The group is capped at 10 participants across deposit and full-payment bookings combined, not 10 places for each option. Keeping the retreat private and small protects the quality of learning and time for individual guidance.
Train together, exchange ideas and enjoy the camaraderie of shared practice in France. Sifu Rob Ley keeps the emphasis on attentive teaching, practical understanding and individual one-to-one time, with respect and no ego.
The 2026 retreat sold out. For 2027, the same priority is a focused, personal learning environment with only 10 spaces.

Voices from previous retreats
I would highly recommend coming to these intense training retreats if you get the opportunity, I noticed my skills and techniques improve over the week and I had a phenomenal time there as well.
What surprised me the most was how much Sifu Rob was able to teach us in such a short time, not only teaching us the movement but how to use it and why
