Dragon Hall Wing Chun Kung Fu
Description
Wing Chun is a scientific close range combat system developed by a nun at the Southern Shaolin temple about 300 years ago. It teaches the use of proper body mechanics and structure to generate soft yet explosive power and to neutralize/use an opponent’s force against them. Proper application of wing chun techniques allow a smaller person to deal with and overcome a much larger and stronger opponent. We teach year-round so there's no gap in students development (eg. no summer or seasonal breaks).
Our goal is to show our students the path to becoming the fighter they hope to be. We teach: hand forms, applications, and Wing Chun sticky hands (Chi Sao) – a combat simulation exercise that transforms fighting techniques into natural reflexes. Chi Sao uses the sense of touch to defend and counter-attack approximately 7x's faster than the sense of sight.
We practice the Yip Man style of Wing Chun.
Our Lineage is: Yip Man
1) Moy Yat & Greco Wong
2) Kam Wong & Tony Yung
3) RD Wing Chun
Bruce Lee received his start in Kung Fu at Yip Man's Wing Chun school in Hong Kong and is what he based his style: Jeet Kune Do on. Moy Yat and our school's Grand Master, Greco Wong, were senior students of Yip Man when Bruce Lee started learning Kung Fu.
We are affiliated with the Wing Chun Kung Fu Institute of Learning in Calgary. More information about our lineage can be found at:

We have a formal class every Tues evening from 6:30 - 8:30pm and Sat 10 – 11:30am at Mid-Alta Motors in Red Deer. We encourage students to meet up with each other and practice throughout the week in order to reinforce the lessons learned in class.
This class is our passion, not our primary source of income, so we will teach you as much as you can learn and perfect. We don't believe in teaching slowly to keep you paying monthly dues. We also don't have fees for belt tests, uniforms or annual dues. We want our students to be the best they can be as we believe their skill is a reflection of our teaching.
If you're interested in Wing Chun and want to train with others passionate about Wing Chun then please show up at our training facility for a free no-obligation introductory class. If you wish to participate, please wear relaxed clothing and bring a clean pair of ‘inside’ shoes. Due to the nature of our partner drills and training regime we are an adult only class. Age 16+
