Tampa Martial Arts & Self-Defense hosted it’s first seminar January 27, 2018. This seminar went over the most effective ways to deal with various knife attacks. Sifu Och, the chief instructor for Sifu Och Wing Chun (Lakeland, Florida) was the main guest and presenter.
“…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.” – Garret R. Brumfield

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

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

I was looking for ways to improve my self-defense skills and was told about Tampa Wing Chun Kung Fu through a friend. 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

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

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 should 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 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
