Wing Chun - Vancouver BC???

[Littlemantis]

Just moved to Vancouver and am wondering if anybody could recommend any good wing chun schools? I have studied Karate for about 2 years but recently met a friend in LA that showed me his wing chun. The forms were great and i really liked to chi sao.

Now that i live in Vancouver I have decided to give up Japanese Martial Arts and try and find a Wing Chun School (or Ving Tsun - but i believe there is no difference - am I right?)

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Thank you!!

Also you can go to Dragon Martial Arts Supplies @ 28 E. Pender and Kuen Way Martial Arts Supplies @ 6560 Victoria Dr. as they both have people teaching Wing Chun within their stores. There is also a Wing Chun school in Richmond at Jacombs & Cambie (sorry don't have exact address) and one at UBC.

Good luck!

Hope this helps
