Sifu Andy welcomes everyone into his school. Having trained with three other instructors over the years (two in Toronto and one in Taiwan), I can say he is top notch in skills, knowledge, and instruction. The environment is very supportive of students, new and old, of all abilities, and I encourage anyone to give it a try, or, better yet, to join!

I've trained in various martial arts for over 30 years. I've never had as much fun training as I've had since joining the Connecticut Wing Chun School of Kung Fu about a year ago. Sifu Andy is an amazing instructor who has deep philosophical insight as well as great technical skill. Wing Chun is a practical system of Self Defense. Its techniques are simple and direct. Through consistent practice your body will become stronger as your confidence builds. I would highly recommend training with Sifu Andy at the Connecticut Wing Chun School of Kung Fu.

The Connecticut Wing Chun School of Kung Fu is the ultimate environment for studying the martial arts, sharing growth with others and incorporating the philosophies of the art into daily living. Students work together with guided instruction and learn to infuse themselves into the learning. The school offers a stress free environment where laughing and smiling are welcome. It is a rare learning facility where the ego is left at the door. The day after every lesson is a wonderful day.

If you are looking for a wing chun school, this is the gold standard. Sifu Andy comes from an impressive lineage that goes directly back to Yip Man (who taught Bruce Lee) and a welcoming teaching approach which is extremely conducive to learning. Every one of the students are given a custom guidance to their level and I am really happy to have found this school. Stop researching and just drop in a class at Waterbury or New Milford to find out for yourself. A serious Wing Chun school for veterans and beginners alike.

I've been going to this Dojo since 2009 and since then I felt like I found my second home. If you're looking for legit Wing Chun you found the right place. Very open minded instructor and taches from the heart. Whether you're looking for self defense or just for physical health, it's a great place to be. I was searching a while for a style and school for me and even started self teaching myself I was desperate. Then I discovered this school and found out about Wing Chun for the first time ever and I feel like I found a part of myself within this art. Another cool fact is that if you're an Ip Man fan, this version of Wing Chun descends from the Ip Man (Yip Man) lineage.

When I arrived her they were very accommodating. The school environment is great.

Wing Chun Kung Fu is Not For Everyone.

This kind of training is not well suited for those who lack the basic skill of humility and willingness to learn. It is for individuals who are ready to change their daily routine, lifestyle and mindset toward achieving their absolute best self. One month later, it’s for half those people. A year later it drops to only an handful of souls. 10 years later there might only be a few with the will power to live the lifestyle of the warrior. If you keep asking yourself “what’s next” you’ll be one of those few souls to enjoy the gift that Wing Chun Kung Fu gives back to the practitioner.

Using a mountain as a metaphor, we can say that the path up the mountain leaves many on the trail lost to the wild. So only the ones with the will to never give up, and to achieve, will find the trail up the mountain. When you have a Sifu to guide you, it’s like having a tour guide to take you up the mountain. Showing you the landmarks and pitfalls as you march on. Will you take the first step? Request Enrollment here at the form on this page.

What is Wing Chun Kung Fu?

Wing Chun is a martial art system that features total body, mind and spirit cultivation through traditional Kung Fu routines and regular weekly classes. Kung Fu study material is taught using a classical practice of the Yip Man System of Wing Chun Kung Fu. Today’s version of this martial art, is a powerful and intelligent hand-to-hand combat system. We offer focused course material on each component of the traditional Wing Chun System.

It should be said that when using the Wing Chun style, we do not practice “self defense”, instead, we use “the attack to defend.” This ancient formula is successful when we use the approach in combat, physical body training, and our daily lives.
