I have been learning Wing Chun for a few months, and the experience has been great. Eddie Sifu is a knowledgeable, relatable, and down to earth instructor who cares deeply about Wing Chun and providing value for his students. The community has been welcoming and patient with new students. They have been very willing to give extra time to help out with new folks learning and trying out moves. Learning Wing Chun is mentally and physically challenging, and it becomes addictive of how you can learn all the many concepts and philosophy behind the techniques. Come try it out, the trial period has little pressure, and it is a welcoming, supportive group!

My reasons for joining are simple—I’m not a gym person and have always struggled with motivating myself to work out. I needed a way to get exercise while having fun. I’ve been drawn to martial arts since I was young, so this seemed like a good fit for me. I’m very glad I did, because I look forward to every class.

I highly recommend this place to anyone that’s looking to learn practical self defense skills amongst a group of peers that are committed to helping each other grow and develop in the most friendly way possible. Eddie and Steve are extremely cool individuals, in addition to being passionate and skilled proponents of Wing Chun.They strive to share their expertise regarding the practical application of every form and movement that is taught. Check this place out if you’re looking to learn a new martial art form and you won’t be disappointed!

Just started my journey a month ago, and the experience has been great! I've practiced other martial arts (all great studios), yet this place feels different. The community that Eddie has built is one that is warm, welcoming, hardworking, and helpful. It is both physically and mentally challenging, and having a group of students who are there to help you makes it a great environment. I'm excited to continue my journey and recommend you give this place a try.
