When students are tired and don't feel like working out, they are always rewarded for coming to Wing Chun class. Whether they come in feeling good or bad, students always leave feeling energized, less stressed and more at peace than before.

Serious Martial Arts
Wing Chun is the world's most effective self defense system for any situation and we have the highest standards of teaching. We guarantee that if you put in the time, you will see for yourself that it's the ultimate self defense against any size of attacker with or without weapons. We also have a fast training system so that students gain true confidence with powerful techniques very quickly.

The key to Wing Chun is economy of motion and use of chi sao to use an opponent's energy against them. Center-line theory maximizes your strength and speed while minimizing the opponent's. We do conditioning to develop strength, flexibility and power, but proper form and technique are the most important elements. We teach the entire Wing Chun system including weapons, wooden dummy training, grappling techniques, standing, kneeling, ground, chair defenses, single and double-arm chi sao and all forms.

The Principles of Wing Chun
Wing Chun is a scientific and pragmatic system of self defense. All angles and positioning are specifically designed for maximum speed, control and simplicity in defense or counter attack. Unlike other martial arts, Wing Chun was specifically designed by Shaolin kung fu masters to dominate all other fighting styles and is the most efficient self defense system for men or women against any size of attacker.

Centerline

The centerline runs down the center of your body. Your balance and strength flow up from the ground out through your centerline and most attacks are directed at your center. Therefore, we move away from the attack line, using our centerline to counterattack on an angle where we are strong and the opponent is weak, an angle where an opponent can not easily defend or counter.

Forward Intention

Maintaining forward intention, a dynamic forward energy even when still, allows you to sense and counter an opponent more easily with less energy and allow you to maximize economy of motion.

Economy of Motion

Wing Chun is not interested in beating around the bush, it goes directly to the point, ending a conflict quickly with minimal effort. The ideal defense is to end the conflict before a full attack can even be launched.

Face the Point of Contact

Our strength flows from the centerline, so we always face the point of contact to maximize our energy and simplify the technique. Our defense and counter attack will then maximize our strength and speed. This also helps build confidence that we can dissolve attacks from any size of attacker.

Simplicity

Simplicity is the overarching principle of Wing Chun. No flowery but impractical moves are part of the system. Maintaining forward intention and keeping it simple will allow you to maximize speed and end conflicts with the least effort possible. As students progress from beginners to advanced, they learn a lot of techniques but also learn the art of doing less for maximized speed, power and self control.
