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.

Great first time experience! Garret the training instructor was very patient and thorough while teaching the movements! I’ll definitely be going back!

He was 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, he was quieter and easily angered but suppressed it. 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 myself. I cannot believe it has been a little over two years since I met Sihing Garret. This school has become so much more than self-defense and 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

I got to experience the class as a whole in full motion (like a more advanced student) but the teacher also pulled me aside to work with me on the basics; so I also got that initial one on one experience to allow me to be more comfortable and in control of the fighting movements. Going over the movements until I understood and answering questions that I had as well. A bonus is if I am unable to make it in person there are also online options to keep up with the class. read less

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

Everyone was kind and very welcoming but most of all patient as I had to go through the beginner moves. I will definitely be back and look forward to learning more! read less
