What is Shaolin Wing Chun?
Shaolin Wing Chun is the result of more than 30 years of research into the Shaolin roots of Wing Chun. Utilizing all ranges of combat: Long range kicking, close range strikes, take-downs, grappling and joint locks. Our focus is on Maximum Efficiency, precision, and simultaneous close-range offense as defense, it emphasizes relaxation, structure, and sensitivity over brute strength. Practitioners develop practical self-defense skills while cultivating balance, mindfulness, and inner strength.
Our knowledge traces back to both the Northern and Southern Shaolin Temples. It is a system that is not limited by style or technique. It is a complete martial arts system addressing all ranges of hand-to-hand combat – kicking, striking, trapping, and grappling.
Personalized Martial Arts Training
Shaolin Wing Chun Kung Fu--
Our classes offer valuable life skills for beginners and seasoned martial artists alike:
The Warrior Difference
Blue Lantern Martial Arts is a veteran owned and operated school, not a corporate chain.
Our goal is to teach our students to achieve their ultimate potential. Our most important emphasis is cultivating the self. We strive to produce warriors not just fighters. Warriors aim to conquer themselves rather than searching to dominate others. Tracing our lineage back to the Shaolin temples of old, we bring that knowledge to the present day. In this manner, we create the warriors that can forge a better world.
A Unique Curriculum
With more than 30 years of research into the Shaolin origins of Wing Chun and a unified System that is pressure tested in the highest arenas, Shaolin Wing Chun Kung Fu has established a clearly defined curriculum approved by the Ving Tsun Museum. You will always know where you are in your journey and everything taught in class can be followed up at home with your textbook.
A New You
Whether you have low self-esteem, want to get into shape, or want to learn to defend yourself and your family, this is the place! All of those worthy goals are possible at BLMA!
