My Story

I began my Wing Chun training in a non Ip Man Style called Yuen Kay San, I trained for 3 years before moving to LingWood Chuan Wing Chun (fast fist) in Washington DC under Sifu Robert Anderson (a rare style with a blend of boxing and William Cheung) .  I trained for another 3 years before finding an Instructor in Fairfax in the Grandmaster Ip Ching Lineage.  When he quit teaching I went under his teacher, Sifu Tony Massengill (former student of Duncan Leung, & Samuel Kwok)  where I achieved Jo Gau teacher certification under Ip Ching Lineage. 

I then moved under Sifu Randy Williams and trained with him and ran a Close Range Combat school in the DC area for approximately 8 years.  I then moved under Sifu Augustine Fong where I am a recognized instructor.  I have been training Wing Chun for over 30 years now. In addition I spent 10 years training Aikido and was the Sensei at Aikido of Arlington after training with Saito Sensei in Iwama Japan and receiving my Ni Dan (2nd Degree black belt).

We dont have a fancy gym but we have what we need, my philosophy is to drill constantly, the basics. No classes are the same as we have many Wing Chun , Jeet Kune Do & Chin Na drills.

  

I don't talk about other schools or arts and put them down, every school is different.  I can only tell you that I train directly with my students, I lead every class, I do every drill.  I have learned much in my time training and through all of my experiences and you, the student will get this benefit.  There is a difference and I invite you to watch a class and see for yourself.

​

  You will have to sweat and work hard, there is heavy forearm contact in our drills. 

​

 We train at least 90 minutes to 2 hours every class.  No uniform is required, no testing fees, just straight training.

 

  I don't spend all class doing forms or chi sau.  Instead we concentrate on Combat drills, footwork, isolation sparring, wooden dummy training, partner training. Wall bag training, focus mitt training and more.  Every Wing Chun student should have a proper understanding and be competent at Chi Sau but I don't spend the entire class on rolling.  Someone can be great at Chi Sau and not be able to fight.  Chi Sau should make up no more than 10 percent of your training time.

​

I teach to learn sensitivity (energy drills in Jeet Kune Do) from the first exercise I normally teach beginners.  If Wing Chun is taught correctly sensitivity is built into everything a wing chun fighter does.

​

We are located close to Fort Campbell and Hopkinsville, Kentucky in Clarksville, Tennessee.
