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.

Not only we learn great techniques to defeat opponents who may be taller or heavier than us, but the training is intense enough that, in my case I have lost over 7 pounds, and now feel a lot leaner, while improving speed, power, and structure. I recommend it to anyone who is still young at heart, but specially travelers, ladies, young women and men, and even First Responders and military folks who would like to add to their skill set. Now, as far as a Sihing Garrett, he is a smart, energetic, humble instructor of Wing Chun, who is willing to take time to show you great techniques, but who also will make you feel comfortable during and after class. Ask any questions and Sihing's got you. He is real good too, and if you pay attention you will learn from him. Kudos. 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

Prior to joining, all I had ever tried was a basic self defense class in college, but I had always wanted to do more and pick up an actual martial art. I had researched quite a few forms of martial arts and decided to go with Wing Chun because it's female friendly, practical, and those Ip Man movies are inspiring and bad ass. After a crippling break up and struggling with the deep depression that followed, I decided to join the class. It was one of the best decisions I ever made to improve my mental health. The curriculum and the moves you learn are very empowering, and in just a short time I felt like I knew enough to at least defend myself against any drunk jerks. In a time where I was feeling completely disenfranchised and at a loss, this practice really built me up and helped me regain some feeling of control over my life. Not only are the classes empowering, but so are the people. I didn't expect to join a family when I signed up. Everyone is so friendly and funny, and in a time where I felt completely alone and isolated, they were always there rooting for me. People here really care about you, and I credit this class with helping me get out of a dark place in my life. I'm doing a lot better now, and a good portion of that is thanks to Tampa Wing Chun. I'm looking forward to how much more I can grow here now that I'm in a good place. read less
