Wing Tsun, pronounced Wing Chun, is the form of Kung Fu taught here. Wing Tsun being a very popular form of Kung Fu, due to it's association with Bruce Lee, was devised centuries ago to be taught and learned quickly in order be able to counter other existing forms of Kung Fu. Modern Wing Tsun has been updated to deal with typical attacks from more modern fighting arts such as street fighting, kickboxing, and grappling arts.
The focus of Wing Tsun is to remain in an upright position in order to be able to effectively defend, punch, kick, and move using agile footwork angles to avoid unecessary muscular force against a potentially faster or stronger opponent. All movements in Wing Tsun are done in the most direct and efficient manner possible making it faster than other arts.
The methods used to train self-defense skills will also develop agility, balance, cognition, concentration, coordination, cardiovascular health, focus, memory, mobility, problem solving, posture, reaction time, and enhanced range of motion. Developing these practical skills for daily life will benefit you with daily phyisical activites, decrease injuries, improve balance which reduces falls, and keeps you looking younger!
Wing Tsun Kung Fu was devised so that, with steady practice, real functional skills can be attained rapidly and safely!Wing Tsun Kung Fu skills are applicable in daily life. Improve your concentration and focus at work or school, improve your balance and range of motion when working in your yard or home projects, reduce stress by letting out some steam in class, etc. Wing Tsun Kung Fu is a great way to unwind your day and concentrate on yourself!
Wing Tsun Kung Fu is ideal for any person over the age of 15. The average person of modest physical ability can easily learn the basics in a couple of months. Wing Tsun Kung Fu is fun, easy, and a safe way to learn Smart Self-Defense and healthy movement. Ideal for adults that want practical movements that don't require rolling around on the ground or maneuvers that are difficult to learn.

What makes Wing Tsun Kung Fu Superior for Self-Defense?
Wing Tsun is a practical system based on simple concepts, principles, and ideas. Instead of memorizing easily forgotten "techniques", the focus is on assertively ingraining the
idea of sending both arms forward, from the center of the torso to hit, while darting in with nimble footwork. This action forms a protective offensive/defensive wedge. That’s the
basic idea! If the adversary blocks, grabs, counter attacks, or covers up, then you adapt to what he gives you (reactions) using the concepts and principles that you learn through chi
sau (clinging hands) tactile training.
Can I use my Wing Tsun Kung Fu skills quickly?
Absolutely! You will acquire basic and practical self defense skills in your first few classes. Proficiency in the tactile skills required to excel at Wing Tsun will require steady and
consistent practice. Mastery of Wing Tsun is a lifetime pursuit.
How much does it cost to attend classes?
The fee for training is very modest and reasonable. I am not a commercial school therefore my motivation is not money. I teach because I want to pass the skills to people that are really
interested in learning. I just ask that you please come try it first. I charge a flat monthly fee with no hidden costs or contracts.
Are there any safety concerns when learning Wing Tsun Kung Fu?
Absolutely not! The classes are taught with utmost student safety in mind. Contact training is supervised only for those students that wish to participate.
What is the difference between Wing Tsun, Ving Tsun, Wing Chun?
The two main differences between Wing Tsun and other Ving Tsun\Wing Chun lineages are in the structured teaching methods and the emphasis on relaxed forward intent. Wing Tsun is one of the
only systems that contains complete applications of all the movements in the forms, Chi Sau partner flowing drills, and sparring. The structured teaching curriculum ensures that everybody
learns the same movements and nothing gets left out. The emphasis on aggressive but relaxed springy forward intent of our limbs (arms and lead leg) is also another hallmark of our system.
What is Chi Sau (clinging hands) training and why is it necessary?
Chi Sau\Guo Sau are special partner exercises, unique to Wing Tsun, that facilitate learning tactile (touch) reflex skills. Chi Sau tactile reflexes are used as a backup to strikes when they
are blocked. Tactile reflexes allow the sensing of pressure, and direction of force at the moment that contact is made with the limbs or body of the adversary. This triggers the immediate
process of adapting, without having to disengage or reset. It becomes easier to exploit openings in the defense of your adversary, trap arms or legs, or move out of the way while
simultaneously attacking from a different angle. Acute reflex skills development are the goal of chi sau training.
What is the Wooden Dummy used for and when is it taught?
The wooden dummy teaches efficient movement at close range, correct angles of attack, push and pull movements, close range striking power, advanced kicking, and footwork. The wooden dummy
form is taught after the student completes the training in the first three empty hand forms and their corresponding chi sau movements.
My name is Robert and I have been a student in the Leung Ting lineage of Wing Tsun Kung Fu since 1989 and have over 25 years of teaching experience.
I have had the honor of learning from numerous high profile Wing Tsun Masters and Sifu's (instructors) via regular classes or intensive training seminars over the past 30 years including Grandmaster Leung Ting. I gained the most knowledge in my early and formative years from Master Emin Boztepe and since 2013 from Sifu Glenn Tillman.
I continue to hone my advanced Wing Tsun Kung Fu skills via private tutoring from my mentor and friend Sifu Glenn Tillman in San Antonio, Texas.
I have taught Self Defense courses for Texas Department of Public Safety, Amplify Credit Union, and at Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation. I have also taught crash courses on Self-Defense for young ladies going off to college.
My deepest respect & gratitude to Sifu Glenn Tillman for his philosophy of generously & openly sharing his Wing Tsun knowledge.
Shout out to Sifu Alex Richter for providing the foundation in Hong Kong Chi Sau.
Wing Tsun Kung Fu is featured in the highly entertaining, and recommended 2008 martial arts action movie titled
Ip Man.
The movie features Hong Kong martial arts superstar Donnie Yen and is loosely based on events in the life of Grandmaster Yip Man.
Wing Tsun is also the Kung Fu system that Bruce Lee studied as a teenager and which was the basis for his Jun Fan Gung Fu and Jeet Kune Do.
