San Francisco Wing Chun

San Francisco Wing Chun is a Chinese form of close-range combat that uses small, precise forces to deflect powerful attacks. It was created by a woman to defeat a larger man and works by using practical, efficient movements. The style emphasizes the skills that a smaller person needs to effectively defend against a larger, stronger person. It teaches students to minimize muscular tension and aggression, and to stay relaxed under pressure. The class is casual and welcomes beginners, with no experience needed or separate grade classes. Advanced students regularly work out with beginners in partner drills and free-form sparring.
