Have A Natural Response To Martial Arts




We have training in the San Francisco Bay Area and Fresno and Central Valley Areas: Wing Chun, Choy Lay Fut Kung Fu, or Boxing and Muay Thai, contact us for more information.

Continuing a PoPai technique with my SiHing Aaron Miller. Aaron is actually the one who started me on my Wing Chun journey. After a short time of training with Aaron, he introduced me to his Sifu Greg LeBlanc. Sifu LeBlanc asked me if we could do an exchange of skills. Since I am a retired professional boxer. We shared an exchange of knowledge and skills. From there I asked Sifu LeBlanc to write me a letter of introduction to his Sifu Gary Lam. It has been over 15 years since my journey began in the Wong Shun Leung Wing Chun Lineage and still going.

The training, teaching, mental and physical aspect of what is taught has many layers.  It is like an onion and the individual along with their understanding is forever evolving.

1) Strikes. Deals with incoming strikes, how to deal with them. As well as striking.

2) Pushing.  In pushing, we are dealing with the exact same body mechanics as we use in striking. It safely develops punching power.  Also gives you the ability to push, punch, or palm strike.

3) Pulling.  In pulling you are dealing with an incoming force that you use to pull your opponent into a wall, ground, or other obstacles.  It also can be used as a control.

4) Standing grappling.  How to take control and close in and lock a person or control them to the ground or wall etc.

5) Kicking and footwork.  Sweeps, locks, defensive maneuvers.


NOTE: L1 and L2 are in reference to the level 1 and level 2 curriculum of Sifu Gary Lam. All curriculums are based on Sifu Lam’s levels 1 & 2 or both.  Level 1 & 2 curriculums are still taught. The program curriculums shown here are specific to an individual’s needs.

These drills are designed so that once they’re programmed into your system they can happen naturally without thought.  But the programming doesn’t happen overnight, it takes work and dedication. The drills are not self-defense, nor are we competing with one another and trying to win. The drills are designed to help develop: concepts, attributes, skills, and natural responses.  If we look at the drills from a combative standpoint such as self-defense or a self-defense technique it wouldn’t make much sense.  No one fights this way and we leave ourselves open for injuries.  This being said we must look at the drills from a different perspective and that’s the perspective mentioned previously. The drills are designed to develop: attributes, skills, concepts, and natural responses.  Natural response means, freely without confinements and without rules.
