Bay Area Wing Chun Hawaii

About

Classical Wing Chun Kuen in Honolulu, Moanalua and Pearl City, Hawaii

Story

Bay Area Wing Chun Hawaii is the Hawaii branch of San Jose Wing Chun and the Bay Area Wing Chun Association. Our Lineage is: Ip Man - Leung Sheung - Ken Chung - Ben Der - Wayne Nakamura - Mark Leong and continuing Wing Chun training under Sifu Ben Der.

We are learning a soft style approach to Wing Chun that emphasizes proper position, structure, relaxation and sensitivity which allows a smaller person to effectively defend against a larger and/or stronger person. In this style, we always assume that our opponent will be bigger, faster and stronger than us. We also spend a lot of time on basics in order to build a strong foundation. We all train together (there are no belts or separate grade classes) and advanced students regularly work out with beginning students. The class is relatively small and taught very casually with the necessary information given freely, but learning this style requires a lot of patience, self discipline and careful thought.

Our class meets at the Kapahulu Center, 3410 Campbell Avenue, Honolulu, Hawaii from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm on Tuesdays as well as on the first and third Thursdays of the month. The second, fourth and any fifth Thursday classes of the month are held from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm at 98-1126 Komo Mai Drive in Pearl City. We have class on all holidays except for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year.
