CHEN’S WING CHUN GUNG FU
It Begins and Ends With You
UNLOCK YOUR TRUE POTENTIAL
THROUGH THE ART OF WING CHUN
WHAT IS WING CHUN?
Legends state that Wing Chun was created by a Shaolin Nun, Ng Mui (“New Moy”) one of the legendary Five Elders who survived the destruction of the Shaolin Temple by the Qing Dynasty in mid 1600’s. Wing Chun is a culmination of the best of what she had practiced in the Shaolin temple.
Wing Chun is an advanced and effective fighting system. Basic concepts include simplicity, directness, economy of motion and strength through body unity. These concepts can be used by a person of any size, age or gender, and are bound by the laws of nature and bio-mechanics. As such, the art is uniquely tailored to each individual based on their own physical structure.
Beneath the surface, Wing Chun is an incredibly beautiful martial art. Aside from the advantages it provides in close quarter combat, it can also be applied to daily life. Wing Chun allows one to develop self control, discipline, humility, balance and ability to adapt to different forces in life. Confidence is developed over time as a Wing Chun student unlocks gifts and talents that are buried deep within. As a principle-based system, proficiency in Wing Chun requires a commitment to learning the art physically and mentally.
Training is in a safe and controlled environment. Real self defense and survival skills are developed over time with a goal of developing natural, smooth, and controlled movements, where speed and power are natural byproducts.

TESTIMONIALS
Eric is a really great teacher. He’s patient enough to take the time to explain in depth what’s confusing to you and he does it in a way that is easy to understand. He is passionate in what he does and you can tell he definitely has a very good understanding in wing chun because he is able to simplify the concepts into something easier for your mind to grasp. I enjoy working with him because he effortlessly can make you feel comfortable and he is easy to trust. Overall I’m glad I’m able to work with him because he loves what he does and that positivity that he gives off is infectious and makes the experience better.

It's a pleasure working with Eric. He's very knowledgeable and skilled in the art. He is dedicated to taking himself to the next level and is very adept at communicating ideas and demonstrating them in practice. I really appreciate how he blends old world with new world mentalities such as keeping the art pure but also having an objective outlook on how it's developed and applied. He's very go with the flow whilst having a deep desire to get down to work. You will get out what you put in. If you're trying to take your Wing Chun to the next level Eric can help you do that. He has done so with me.--

I can honestly say I would not be where I am in Wing Chun without Eric. I mean this is the kind of person that would sacrifice his lunch break at his day job just to tutor me in Wing Chun subjects that for the life of me I just couldn't figure out. It's pretty safe to say I definitely got blessed with a Si-Hing that was willing to help me along. His students are lucky to have him.

Sifu Eric Chen is a knowledgeable and skilled Wing Chun practitioner.
He has the unique ability to explain and demonstrate Wing Chun theories and concepts. I highly recommend his school, as being one of the best in California, teaching Wing Chun Gung Fu.

I have been learning the art of Wing Chun Kung Fu for nearly 1 1/2 years with Sifu Eric Chen and strongly feel that it enriches my martial art knowledge, background, and skill. Not only does he teach me the basics such as the Foundation Form, Siu Lim Tao, he shows me how to apply them in real life situations when it matters for your personal safety. Classes are always fun and educational because Sifu Eric teaches a variety of drills and exercises. He then challenges immediate use of them when we play "Chess" or practice strike/attack moves with blocks/defense moves. Every question is welcome and if I don't quite understand or get it, he explains or demonstrates it in another way so that the concept makes sense. I was also given an additional Educational Opportunity and Benefit when my Tai Sigung (Teacher of my Sifu's Sigung or Teacher) came to town and presented a Wing Chun Kung Fu Seminar or Workshop. Practicing with the other students was great and I learned from the answers to their questions. I highly recommend Chen's Wing Chun Kung Fu School for anyone who is serious about learning Kung Fu.

Sifu Eric is a wonderful human being and a great listener, with a very fine understanding of Wing Chun technique. Sifu is skilled in explaining the technique in a very simple and easy way to his students. Sifu listens to every question of his students and answers them. As a teacher, Eric is one who accepts his student with his flaws and shortcomings and tries to improve it with his knowledge. At the time of Corona, where self-defense schools are closed, Sifu's teaching technique in the apparent world is such that the student does not feel that he is learning from miles away, not face to face with them. Sifu, can see your smallest mistake, explains them in such a simple and easy manner that a novice can understand with ease.

I have been guided by Sifu Chen in my Wing Chun journey for 1-year now and I am so impressed with my growth while under his tutelage. I have seen substantive growth in my Wing Chung abilities while also exceeding all my personal goals I've set for my physical fitness. Sifu Chen is a gifted teacher that makes the learning experience fun and rewarding.
Wing Chun is an incredible journey of discovery, especially when you have a knowledgeable and patient teacher willing to guide you through the process of learning. Regardless of skill level, Sifu Chen approaches each session with complete explanations of the theory, body mechanics and philosophy behind everything you encounter in Wing Chun.
Sifu Chen has such deep experience with and respect for the Wing Chun journey, he does not rush the process and offers advice appropriate to each student’s place in that journey. No question is too trivial, no challenge too difficult to overcome, and when you’re ready, Sifu Chen is waiting to help you reveal the next level of discovery. Working with Sifu Chen is a great experience, I can’t recommend his school enough.
