Wing Tsun (Chun)
This class is designed for the mature youth or adult looking to build confidence in empty hand close quarters combat. All skill levels welcome.
Wing Tsun or Wing Chun is so much more to Sifu Kevin then just another fighting style within the martial arts world. Wing Tsun requires patience, focus, humility and then some more patience. the focus should be on the small and precise details of structure within the human body. As time goes on Wing Tsun becomes so much more. Made incredibly popular all over the world by Grand Master Ip Man and one of his students Bruce Lee, Wing Tsun has a loyal following of dedicated long term martial artists.
The precision and understanding of structure can be mastered in a few short years but the understanding and wisdom of this art will leave even the most seasoned martial artist wanting more as the years go on. Sifu Kevin has a rank of blue shirt and the right to represent sifu chris collins of Hong Kong Wing Tsun Association (HKWTA).
The student will learn the patterns or forms of Wing Tsun eventually working with the infamous wooden dummy. Students will work together with the goal of building sensitivity that is considered by some to be the best in the world at this fighting range. With the right mindset a student can learn so much more though once the mind is truly open and willing to accept pure presence.
Students will build exceptional sensitivity, discipline and focus with the goal of mastering presence amongst danger in close quarters combat while in a fun learning environment.
