what is wing tsun?
Wing Tsun (pronounced "wing chun") is one of the most effective and popular forms of martial arts in the world today. Our Wing Tsun (WT) comes from the lineage of the late Grandmaster Yip Man, teacher of Bruce Lee. Wing Tsun would achieve world-wide exposure through the efforts of Sifu Leung Ting and many others. More recently the art of Wing Tsun gained much exposure through the Ip Man (erroneous spelling of Yip Man) films of Donnie Yen and Anthony Wong. The City Wing Tsun Athletic Association proudly teaches Wing Tsun in a very modern and organized teaching program designed to help all students achieve their goals.

Wing Tsun is a unique gem of Chinese martial arts, offering a blend of traditional techniques and modern functionality that enhances your practice. Engaging in old-school exercises like forms, solo drills, and innovative partner training methods, you’ll develop skills that go beyond brute strength. Wing Tsun emphasizes principles and strategies, empowering you to effectively handle larger and more aggressive opponents. This martial art challenges you physically while providing valuable insights into interactions in everyday life, enriching both your martial arts journey and personal growth.
Wing Tsun emphasizes efficient and practical responses to aggression, making its techniques straightforward and logical. Grounded in principles rather than acrobatics, it operates within a natural range of motion, so you don’t need extreme flexibility or strength. This adaptability allows you to effectively counter various attacks, empowering you to defend against a wide range of threats with confidence.


Wing Tsun simplifies combat by integrating offense and defense simultaneously, moving away from the typical "block/counter" method found in many martial arts. Instead of relying on high kicks, which can be impractical in everyday attire, Wing Tsun employs low-line kicking to maintain balance and effectiveness. When faced with a stronger force, the Wing Tsun defender "sticks" to the opponent’s attack and yields rather than trying to stop it. This intelligent movement and understanding of self-defense mechanics contribute to Wing Tsun's reputation as one of the most effective martial arts.
