We are A:
Chinese Martial Art: We teach Chinese Kung Fu
We Are Not:
Mixed Martial Arts: (MMA) Is a combat *Sport* with a wide variety of fighting techniques
which include striking and grappling.
Here in Tazewell Virginia we teach the very best of Chinese and Japanese Martial Arts to give you a well
rounded system. The above systems are the result of 20 years of hard work and research that Sifu Andrew Sheppard has put into
the Fighting System we call Wing Chun...
People ask me all the time if I teach UFC fighting and I tell them that I teach Martial Arts *Not Sport*. The
UFC has Rules and Referees. In the street Big John MCcarthy wont be there to pull your attacker off you and cant tap out in
the real world. The UFC is a sport and I refuse to teach my students something that will get them hurt outside of my school.
In 2009 I look forward to opening a school in my area and to let Southwest Virginia see the true beauty
of Wing Chun. I thought I was good before I left and a 70 year old man taught me real fast that I had to go back to the
drawing board.
What sets us apart:
-
No katas to learn
-
No boards to break
-
We train to survive not for the next tournament
-
Sparring is the key at this dojo
-
Pressure Points do work, Here you will learn to control your enemy by touch.
-
Our goal is to avoid the fight at all cost but when forced to fight we will not back down. We will control
the enemy with ease and use restrain once we have the enemy on the ground. As he is looking up at us we will know that he
has encountered a hitsujikai student.
-
As Chuck Norris once said ...."At the end of your training You are the reason the boogie man is checking under
his bed and turning on his night light.
SIFU ANDREW SHEPPARD
