The Science of Close-Range Combat and practical self defense

Wing Chun Gung-Fu
We insist on a high standard of effort. The mind is primary. Physical training is easy, psychological training is hard. If you aren't training your mind in concert with your body, you are wasting time.
Improving performance is a question of attention, discipline, and effort.
Practice makes habit. You become what you do, but equally important, you become who you hang around with. Do it right and evolve. Do it wrong and stagnate…there are no shortcuts, no quick fixes.
Finally, the number of people we train here is limited because time and energy are finite. We actually coach. We get up in our students' lives. We care about them. And there's not an endless supply of care for anyone who wants it. Hence the private nature of our group.

We are a small, private Wing Chun training group based in New York City, that is proudly part of the Jason Lau (Lau Wai) Wing Chun family. We are deeply committed in helping students to develop themselves both mentally and physically through a disciplined, and focused practice in the practical yet elegantly simple art of Wing Chun Gung-Fu.
We periodically accepts new students, but our class sizes is limited in order to focus on the individual.

Wing Chun Gung Fu is a Chinese system of martial arts that specializes in developing very dynamic, explosive, and street oriented practical self-defense. This system relies on cultivating proper body alignment, emphasizing economy of motion, and using sensitivity training to read and overcome an opponent. Training in Wing Chun develops speed, coordination, and focused power, enabling a practitioner to quickly and efficiently dispatch a larger, stronger attacker without relying on their size or brute muscular strength.
“Modern man is conditioned to expect instant gratification, but any success or triumph realized quickly, with only marginal effort, is necessarily shallow. Meaningful achievement takes time, hard work, persistence, patience, proper intent and self-awareness. The path to success is punctuated by failure, consolidation, and renewed effort - usually made by a different person than who first walked through the door. We change in order to become, and we are changed through that becoming”
