3. How long must I practice Wing Chun before I can defend myself?
It's up to you but Our Head Instructor Mr. Och wants you to be prepared from day one, he will teach you on the first day how to defend yourself. Its up to you to push yourself and practice to achieve your goals but To truely defend yourself and use the great techniques Wing Chun will provide you, depends on your level of dedication and effort. The more you push yourself the more YOU WILL SUCCEED!
It's really up to you. Everything that draws people to martial arts requires a practice to achieve. To have lasting success, you need to reserve a corner of your life to training. However it need not be a large corner.
We recommend at Least 2 classes per week to start this will allow you to ease into the art. However there are many students on 1 class per week programs, and they do very well. It all depends on the individual. To truelly gain in anything you must practice it, don't expect for the art to enter your life like a Jet Li movie. The energy you put into Wing Chun will come back to you over time. But it is not a overnight process. However, this is certain: the more you learn Wing Chun, the better chance you have of being able to defend yourself and the ones you love.
4. Is there an age limit in Wing Chun?
No. Any Age can Learn Wing Chun. From a child as young as five can learn Wing Chun to a person as old as 110. I have personal taught and had requests to teach children younger than this and they have done very well, but it all depends on the person.
Because Wing Chun does not have large movements or high kicks and Jumps people of any age can learn Wing Chun under proper instruction. Realistic goals are set based on the needs and ability of each student.

6. What kind of people practice Wing Chun?
Most classes are open to everyone regardless of age, sex, or physical ability. In Wing Chun a wide range of techniques are offered to provide flexibility in training, so that even if the individual is physically and spiritually weak they can develop their bodies and minds gradually and naturally. Wing Chun is excellent for all sets of people young & old, tall & short, fat & skinny. Why? Because every Wing Chun student is different, no two will use the same technique, and so every students personality and body type will come out in there personal fighting technique in Wing Chun. We have helped young people geared toward’s building thier moral character, to Business Professionals which make up Most of the student base, to Individuals not Looking for anything more than excercise and a good time.
Some members practice and take private lessons in Wing Chun five hours a day; while others, because of other priorities in their lives, can attend class only once a week. Anyone can become a good member in Wing Chun as long as they have the desire and determination to do so.
7. In what real-life situations should Wing Chun techniques be used?
First I would like to say that Wing Chun should ONLY be used if your life or another person's life is in danger. Wing Chun should be used to avoid conflict. Self-control should be used to avoid violence. An Insult is not sufficient reason to resort to physical violence. Wing Chun Kung Fu is a Very Effective Martial Art we teach you techniques that could permanently affect someone’s life forever.
Always put yourself in another persons shoes, the person challenging you could have been fired that day, lost a loved one, or at the end of thier rope with stress and depression. Should you a person of practicality, right of mind, and training permanently injure someone in this condition? No. If the situation escalates and you can not completely leave it then you may have to use your training.
8. What kind of philosophy is taught?
Mainly, there are two types of philosophy that we teach:
a. General philosophy: Overall Development - honesty, high moral character, self-discipline, respect for others and self, humility and patience.
b. Martial arts philosophy: How to judge a situation, when to fight, when not to fight, how to fight, where to hit, with what to hit, with what kind of weapons to defend, what to do against multiple assailants and many other points of strategy.
9. How can I recognize a good instructor from a bad one?
A good instructor is someone who:
• loves to teach and help others
• is sincere, considerate, mature, confident
• doesn’t push a sales pitch
• has understanding and patience
• can motivate the students
• has a good attitude and good techniques
• teaches philosophy and theory not just moves
• cares and is protective of her or his students
Observing classes is a good way to judge whether or not a school will be a good learning environment for you. Watch how a class is conducted; see if the students and instructors treat each other with respect and care. Listen to your intuitive feelings about the group and the instructor, and see if there is a trial program for new students.
10. What does ranking in Wing Chun represent?
Traditionally in Chinese martial arts there are no tests, and no ranks. But as time goes on we find that students want a break down of the art to absorb and attain perfection in self and art. So we do use a ranking system, but only as an aide to training.
For us, rank serves two purposes. First it allows the Instructor to organize the class. Secondly, it provides a short term goal, and a progress report on your education.
Because our schedule rotates, it can be difficult to keep track of every student's progress. For us, rank is a personal syllabus or curriculum gauge; each 'rank' corresponds to a portion of each curriculum. Rank is shown by the type of sash worn. The more darker the sash the greater the student's experience.
Testing is an evaluation of your understanding and abilities before moving on. We hold a test when an individual has obtained the curriculum for a given level. If the student's understanding is sufficient, it is time to move on to new techniques. If not, then a student needs more time to perfect his or her skills. There is no minimum or maximum time required before testing. We will schedule a test whenever the student is ready according to the instructor. Students test on all topics they have studied.
We incorporate colored belts to denote the level of ability and indicate the rank of the wearer. Our rank levels start with the beginner, who wears a white belt only after there first test, coming into Wing Chun the Student has to earn and perfect skills to attain any level of ability, nothing will ever be handed to a student becuase they paid for it, only if they earn it.
The Attacker on the street won't ask what color your belt is, and it won't be the belt that saves your life but the techniques and knowledge you have earned in its path.
11. Is it safe to practice Wing Chun?
Safety is of utmost importance in Wing Chun. Realistically, most people practice martial arts to protect themselves, so there is no reason one should get severely hurt while practicing.
As in any sport it is impossible to eliminate all injuries and accidents though in Wing Chun we practice safe but hard, we don't want needless injuries but we also want you to beable to handle yourself in a real situation.
An Instructor is always present to supervise all sparring at all times. No Full contact rules for lower ranks is strictly enforced.
12. Why do you meditate during class?
Meditation in Wing Chun Allows the student to calm his/her mind on the stresses of the day and focus on a single technique. This is done sometimes before or after class. Meditation gives you knowledge about yourself, enlightens and deepens your thoughts, thus eliminating troubled thoughts from your mind. Meditation is a way of flowing toward spiritual growth. It is a search for perfection (beauty, truth, and goodness), a need for a meaningful existence (the art of appreciation) or an escape to find freedom in a permanent life. Meditation also helps cultivate the awareness of our internal strength, thus allowing the perfect coordination of mind, body, and spirit.

13. Will I be required to fight in tournaments in order to advance?
No. We do not, as a school participate in any competitions or Require you to be in one to advance. This does not mean that we prevent anyone from competition, or even discourage it. It is up to the individual.
Much of what we teach is fundamentally unsuited to competition. Our philosophy of self defense is simple: Quick – Intensely Practical – Highly Effective, this usually does not mean point sparring and rules you must understand that the person or person(s) Attacking you have no intention of playing around and neither should you. Protect your Loved Ones. Take down the attacker then get out of there and go home.
We Teach Street Practical Techniques solely concerned with quality of life, not fame or standing. Matches where safety or sportsmanship is a concern, are another situation entirely.
Wing Chun is a very strong style because of its multi-faceted aspects and ability to flow in and out of any opponents attacks or defenses.
However, tournaments give us a testing ground on which to evaluate our techniques. Tournaments also provide opportunities to make friends and share in the martial arts experience. You cannot grow if you isolate yourself.
Tournament participation is completely voluntary. Learning to win over yourself, not others, is the ultimate goal. A win over others is only temporary. When you win over yourself, you become your own master and the rewards are permanent.
14. How do Private Lessons Work?
Normal classes follows as planned and a curriculum set by the Instructor. Private lessons allow you to study almost anything you are interested in, at your own pace. Private lessons can cover in more depth subjects introduced in the standard classes, or delve into areas the Instructor is knowledgeable in, but does not teach to a group class.
Physical Fitness and Workout Classes are Also Available for Private Lessons these can be moderately challenging or extremely intense depending on YOUR goals.
Many people will take private lessons before or after a test to brush up on subjects, or reinforce areas which seem weak. For Students who choose bundled Private Lessons we are happy to video tape your private lessons on request, so that you have a record of the techniques and theories to keep your practice on track, after the first bundle of Private Lessons are complete we will review your progress so that you can see the effect the lessons have had on your progress and guide your future lessons.
15. Which classes are for beginners?
All are open to beginner and advanced students. Because we teach martial arts for personal development, not for competition, there is no atmosphere of 'beating' anyone. All classes focus on working with, not against your partner. Because of this, a rank beginner can work with an adept and both will gain from the practice.
More Advanced students in the Art have classes that focus on higher techniques but they still attend all other levels to benefit there foundation, current students, new friends and kung fu brothers and sitters in the art.
16. What happens if I miss a class or go on vacation?
Easy... Just make up any classes you miss. If you are signed up for 2 classes per week, and miss one, come in for three classes the next week. If you are going out of town, double up before you go, or after you return. Whatever works for you is fine, we work on the honor system.
17. What’s Lion Dance? How do I book a Show?
Brief History - The Chinese Lion Dance goes back some one thousand years. The first record of the performance of an early form of the Lion Dance dates to the early Ch’in and Han Dynasties (Third Century B.C.)
The lions express joy and happiness. From the fourth day to the fifteenth of the New Year, lion dance groups would tour from village to village in traditional China.
Both lions and dragons figure in New Year’s Parades and other celebrations throughout the year. The Lion Dance also plays an important role in the consecration of temples and other building, at business openings, planting and harvest times, official celebrations, and religious rites.
Booking a Show - Having a lion dance team perform at a wedding, birthday's of all ages or special event such as grand openings or celebrations is getting very popular in the United States. The cost will depend on whether you want one or two lions, as well as how fancy a performance they want, how much they want to experience the lion dance during the event and how much experience the performers have. The more experience they have is usually not only more entertaining but a more rewarding experience. In addition to paying for the time, dedication and fun they Lion Dance Team/Performers provides to your event, a table is also usually set up and reserved for the team to eat dinner after the performance.
Payment to the performing group is usually also made through the Choy Cheng, or “Eating of the Green (Vegetable).“ Usually. the lay see (li shir) is in the form of a hung bao (lucky red envelope with the payment enclosed) which is tied to some vegetable matter such as loose leaf lettuce. It also given out as tips during the performance where the lion seamingly eats the (lucky red envelopes with the tips enclosed.) Since the lay see is attached to some vegetable, it’s called “choy cheng,” with choy literally meaning vegetable. The greens are placed in an area for the lion to “eat.” The lion will carefully approach the “green” and even test it to make sure that it is safe.
Lion Dance Classes - are always available, though not taught as part of the "regular" class schedule, the Lion Dance can not only be a Very Fun Activity but a very exhusting one. Performing the Lion Dance can be a FULL BODY Workout, strengthening, toning, and cardio. But by the end of the workout you are having the time of your life.
