I’m looking to study WIng Chun in NYC and was wondering if anyone had a reccommendation for a good school in Manhattan. There are so many options I don’t know where to go. Looking for traditional environment ---

I would suggest doing the research on your own. The teacher, the lineage, their reputation… but more importantly… look at the student. Do they have skill? are they respectful and well mannered? You can judge a teacher by his students. Good luck 🙂 ---

My school was located in Manhattan for many years - but is now in Brooklyn. My background is 8 years with Moy Yat (1975-1983)…and since 1983 I’ve been a student of William Cheung in the Traditional Wing Chun system (TWC)…and have been teaching for over 20 years. But since the year 2000 I’ve been taking a Mixed Martial Art approach - combining wing chun with boxing and catch as catch can (submission) wrestling. There are 3 classes per week: Monday…7-9 pm Wednesday…7-9 pm Saturday…12-3 pm If you’d like more info, contact me at: [wingchun@usa.com](mailto:wingchun@usa.com) ---

Thank you for your interest in wing chun. There many schools in NYC and you should visit all the schools in our area. I highly recommend going to Sifu Allan Lee’s school [www.wingchunnyc.com](http://www.wingchunnyc.com). Since you are a novice (i am assuming here?) in wing chun, make sure to ask many thoughtful questions and “feel” the techniques of each school so you can know what works for you. Good luck. ---

I would recomend: [http://www.sixharmony.com](http://www.sixharmony.com) With Sifu Tomas or [http://www.futsaoyongchunkuen.com](http://www.futsaoyongchunkuen.com) With Sifu Cama If you are “new” you won’t know what to look for. Even the BS will look good, and they will know how to sell it to you. Go with how you feel. Go to as many schools as you can. Try to get a sense of who the Sifu is. Pay a mat fee and work out at a couple of schools. You are lucky to now be in NY. You have a lot of choices, but don’t rush. Take your time. It is better to be right now, then realize ten years from now that you picked the wrong school. I also would not pick a school just because it is in Manhattan. If you find out that there is a man in the Bronx that has the stuff. Travel that extra 20 minutes to go learn properly. Good Luck! ---

Up to now I wouldn’t consider taking any new students if they weren’t willing to also come to the Wednesday night Catch as Catch can (submission) wrestling class. Have since decided that I will except wing chun-only students for the Monday night and the Saturday afternoon classes - and adjust the monthly fee accordingly. If interested in watching a class or two…contact me.
