Wing Chun

Wing Chun is a traditional Chinese fighting art. It is direct and uses economy of movement, and is very comprehensive. Our specific approach to Wing Chun uses the laws of physics to determine the best ways to move and defend one’s self. These concepts and principles govern how we move, fight and train. Most other schools rely on muscular strength, speed, and purely physical technique. Instead, the concepts we use involve position, sensitivity, structure, footwork, and technique to deal with aggressors.

Wing Chun is highly efficient and aggressive, yet our training approach focuses on acquiring effortless combat skills. The human’s most basic and natural instinct is self-preservation. When we are children in the developmental stages, these basic instincts come more naturally to us, however over time we become civilized and need to, as adults, be trained to use our once natural instinct of self-preservation.

Our approach doesn't settle for simply carrying on Wing Chun in a sacred, or dead tradition. On the contrary, we seek to continually develop and evolve our understanding of Wing Chun principles and concepts. This forward-thinking approach to martial study trains self-preservation skills, not skills for tournaments, competition, or egotistical brawls. Intelligence, awareness, and hard work are essential aspects of our Wing Chun training.
