Real life fighting is fast. Very fast. The fastest person to react in a fight is the one who wins. So how can you train to be the fastest?
The answer lies in your own brain.
Your brain is what slows you down in a fight. Reacting off of your opponents slows you down in a fight.
For example, let's say you are confronted in your local bar. There is no way you can avoid this fight. This guy want to take your head off for whatever reason, and now you need to take care of this situation.
If you are like every other non trained person in this world your brain will start to ask certain questions.
1) Is this guy going to throw the right handed punch? The left hand? or maybe he might kick?
2) What should I do? Block with my right arm or my left? Or perhaps I should try to evade hos attack the counter with my own? What counter technique should I use?
All of these questions take time to answer. Now if you take too much time to answer these, guess what? The guy has already hit you and now you are stunned, injured or even dead.
This kind of thinking in a real fight is much too slow to work. What you need is a system of fighting that takes the thinking out of the equation.
But what if you could take out thinking?
"Wing Chun will teach you to defend yourself using to be instinct and reflexes"
Let's take a look at the animal kingdom. In particular, I want you to consider snakes.
Snakes, from the moment they are born they are independent. They start to hunt their own food and they never see their mother again. They are able to do this because of instinct.
No one needs to teach the how to hunt, the already know what to do.
This is what you want. You want to know what fighting technique to use in any give situation instinctively.
"When you train in Wing Chun you not only learn self defense techniques but you learn how to apply them without thinking,"
This is done through what is called sensitivity training. Sensitivity training is where you "adhere" to your opponent in an effort to feel their energy and their intention.
Once you can feel their power you can redirect it. All the while clearing the lines for you to score a hit.
I know to most regular people that must sound strange, but that's exactly what Wing Chun is all about. Wing Chun seeks to touch the opponent and through this physical contact understand the opponents intention.
By feeling what attack is coming next you can be one step ahead of you opponent and know how to counter him instantly. These counters are trained constantly in an effort to ingrain the motions in a fairly quick amount of time.
Once ingrained these counters are done automatically and through your own subconscious. This kind of training allows you to flow and adapt to any situation
Bruce Lee once said " When the opponent expands, l contract. When he contracts, l expand. And when there is an opportunity... l do not hit...it hits all by itself".
"Wing Chun's Trapping hands"
There are 5 ranges that fighting progresses through.
Kicking-> Punching -> Trapping -> Standing Grappling-> Ground Grappling.
Wing Chun excels at the trapping range. Wing Chun is a close range system. Ideal fighting distance for the Wing Chun practitioner is fist, and elbow range.
Trapping is all about control.
Trapping involves where you temporarily crossing your opponents arms and hold them in this crossed position. By doing this you render your opponent incapable of throwing an attack. This is known as H.I.A or a hand immobilization attack.
When you learn Wing Chun you will also learn to trap and while simultaneously offset your opponents balance. Without balance your opponent cannot mount any type of meaningful offense.
Trapping does takes skill and time to develop but it is an extremely important skill to develop and Immobilizing your opponent even for a split second can lead you to victory.
"Who can train"
Anyone.
"What to expect when you enroll"
When you come to class, expect a light workout consisting of drilling martial arts moves, Wing Chun class is not like bootcamp. We don't do a ton of pushups and situps. Instead, we get straight to the point. Self defense. The atmosphere is casual. We still want intensity but class is definitely not like joining the Marines.

About Us
Here's the story:
When I was a teenager, I started training in the martial arts. At that time in my life, I was getting into a LOT of trouble. I was hanging out with the wrong crowd.
But wait, it didn't stop there..
I was staying out late without calling. I was basically a juvenile delinquent. I was a parent's worst nightmare.
Astonishing, isn't it?
Suffice to say I owe my parents a BIG apology!
Anyway, I personally wasn't looking for any of the benefits that the martial arts had to offer.
I just thought it was the coolest thing in the world to be able to actually learn this stuff. It wasn't until I started to progress in the martial arts that I became aware of all of the benefits that martial arts classes had to offer.
My name is Kevin Kawada and my wife’s name is Renee Kawada.
The positive impact that martial arts training had on my life was remarkable.
Because of this, we decided to open our own martial arts school in March of 2004, and made a promise to improve the lives of all our students. We want students to get fit and build up their self confidence the life transforming experience that is martial arts.
We have 2 children. Our daughter is 22 years old and is a Black belt. Her name is Kaitlyn Kawada and she trains at the school daily. Our son is just 14 years old and trains in all of the classes as well.
All of our students get very personalized martial arts instruction and one on one attention. The atmosphere at our martial arts school is both fun AND work oriented.
Please come in and see our school in person! We would love to have you as our next student!
