Wing Chun as a Martial Arts (or any style) is NOT meant to be pretty!!!!
The true essence of Wing Chun or any martial art is not what’s glamorized on the silver screen. That’s pure 
choreography. Your perception of the reality of self-defense is captivated by the slick movements of movie stars who practice day in and out to perfect a “dance”. In short, it causes your jaw to drop and infuses a sense of “i-can-do-that” in any type of confrontation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The true nature of Wing Chun or any martial art is not bounded or defined by your lineage. Claiming a particular lineage does give insight into our background of training and gives a history of tradition where one can trace their “roots” to a single beginning. Your lineage, is not however, the end all of information and the ultimate source by which you swear undying allegiance to and cut-off any other golden nuggets of information that may enhance one’s knowledge of self.
Wing Chun is not defined solely on how one uses the wooden dummy or the way in which one does any of 3 open-hand forms. It’s not solely dependent on one’s techniques and prowess in chi sao. And it’s not in based on the teachings/instructions of one sifu, who happens to be one generation removed from our modern day master.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Wing Chun in it’s simplest form is destroying chaos, by any means necessary, using skills and quick movements,
all within the framework and structure of an art form that was developed almost 400 years ago.
It is your ability to use Wing Chun as a martial arts vehicle of self-defense to do one of two things. The first being able to de-escalate a potential problem through calm means and the second, is to run through your opponent when your back is against the wall. The latter being the only choice against an opponent who is less than willing to resolve conflict through reasonable solutions.

He is a middle schooler and had been bullied for almost two years. I had been to the school countless times, the principle and staff knew me by name. The last straw was when another student punched him in the face. I saw my son changing, from he was quieter and easily angered. I chose Garret to not only teach him self-defense but discipline as well. We received so much more. The students, mostly adults, treated my son like a little brother or nephew. They were patient with his playful nature, correcting and redirecting him when necessary. It was witnessing their interaction him that compelled me to become a student. I cannot believe it has been a little over a year since I met Sihing Garret. This school has become so much more than self-defense, so much more than discipline for my son. For me, it is so much more than a vehicle for weight loss or a stress reliever. This is love, loyalty, respect; this is my Wing Chun family. Feel free to join. We welcome you. 😊 read less

Her blocks are pretty good too, which has even come in useful on the playground with a few boys when they get out of hand. The teachers are kind and great with kids. We feel welcome every day, and us parents are getting in shape too as we exercise there during her class. Our youngest, just a toddler, appears eager to join too. She's been known to run out on the floor and start copying the bigger kids. Our whole family is all in it appears. read less

This place make me a healthier person and have better self-discipline. I am in my 40s and have no experience in any martial arts training, and yet they take the time to help me grow and everyone is so friendly. I love my coach because he’s always pushing me. They teach practical moves that actually work no matter what size you are. This is the real deal! read less
