Read what people are saying about the RDU Wing Chun School: 

 “Wing Chun is the most realistic martial art I’ve ever trained in”. – Rick Watkins, 3^rd degree Aikido black belt and now Wing Chun student.

“I studied karate, aikido, and various styles of kung fu beginning in high school and through college.  While each of these systems contained some useful aspects, the majority of the techniques and the manner in which they were taught where not at all applicable to self-defense situations that would be encountered in the real world.  This deficiency was clearly demonstrated on more than one occasion when a fellow student who was very effective in class situations was easily defeated by someone with no formal training but lots of “street” skills. 
     The techniques in Wing Chun and the environment in which they are taught are solely for the purpose of developing skills that are useable in real-life situations.  The training methods employed in Wing Chun are designed to encourage students to scrutinize and question the techniques they are learning, rather than take an instructor’s word that a particular technique would be effective.  This unique attitude ensures that the self-defense skills developed through Wing Chun training are far superior to those taught in other styles of martial arts that are taught under unrealistic conditions.” – Danny Greene, Technical Writer.

“This school teaches techniques that are highly effective for a small person (like myself) against an opponent with bigger body frame...I would recommend this school to anyone that wants to learn practical self-defense. After six months of training, I noticed that my speed and power have improve tremendously.  In addition, this is the only school that I know of that allows their students to train for 2+ hours a day for 6 days a week... I would recommend this school to any person with smaller body frame like me.  The instructor teaches practical self-defense techniques against larger opponent. In addition, he teaches highly effective body conditioning that improved my speed and power, after a short period of time”.  – Albert Chiu, Automation Engineer

“Wing Chun got me into the best shape of my life and taught me how to fight like never before”.  Heath Grant, Drummer.

“I find it hard to place a measure of value on the benefits I have received by training with Sifu Widmar at the Wing Chun School.  I have learned to use muscles that I never utilize when working out at the local gym.  I am faster, stronger and more confident than before I joined.  It is a good feeling to know that you are more capable of defending yourself if the need ever arises. Personal training sessions in the gym can cost you up to $100 per visit.  The value of one night of Wing Chun is worth one week of personal training and I learn something new every time I attend.  Wing Chun is more than just self-defense, it is a way of being that will teach you values and lessons that will last a lifetime.”  - Aaron R, Power Engineering.

No martial art I have trained in has held a candle to the effectiveness, speed, and power of Wing Chun. Having studied Wing Chun for some years now, even to this day, I am still amazed by how much faster students of Wing Chun progress over students of other martial arts. I attribute this to the simplicity of the system and it's no-nonsense approach.” – Andy Jones, Software Developer

 “What I like about Wing Chun is the practical approach taught in the class.  Each day the training consists of techniques that would be applicable in a defensive situation. Training one on one with other classmates promotes a sense of realism and allows us to push each other.  Also, there's a level of balance in what we focus on improving both skill and physical fitness”.  - Shane Dillingham, Supply Chain Management

 “I was at a concert where one guy was getting rough.  He was thrashing about hitting people, tearing their clothes, pulling them down and acting crazy… When I wasn't looking he came up and grabbed my shirt and started to yank, but I quickly reacted by executing the “jut sao -  fun sao” move I learned in my Wing Chun class.  The guy was so startled he let go and lost his balance.  I neutralized what he was doing so efficiently and quickly that he thought twice about starting something with me. Just seeing Wing Chun scares most people.  It’s so quick and unexpected - they are overwhelmed before they know what’s hit them.”   -Aaron Cantrell, Network Administration

 “I started training at the Wing Chun School at the age of 25. Five years later, and I am in the best shape that I have been in my whole life. I trained in the sport of bodybuilding for 4 years prior to the martial arts and since then have discovered the "gaps" in my understanding about strength and balance. Today, I am a more confident, focused, and assertive. At the Wing Chun School, I have improved self-defense as well as leadership skills.” – Kevin Mangum, X-Ray Tech.

 “One day I decided to spar with a Karate friend of mine, just to find out how Wing Chun would deal with other styles.  He tried to deflect my blows, but my Wing Chun sensitivity allowed me to recover instantly press on the attack, and he had no answer for the more aggressive moves.  I knew then my training was worth it.”  – Jamie Cruz Morales, Siemens Medical.

 “I was pretty clumsy, and I didn’t seem to know how to avoid trouble or how to handle it… In previous altercations I did not defend myself with confidence, and suffered some bruises and humiliation… Since studying Wing Chun, I have mostly been able to avoid trouble.  Most people detect an aura of physical self-confidence, and look elsewhere for a brawl.  When I did get into physical situation a few years into my training, I was able to end it very quickly using the techniques I had practiced often in class…  now people think I carry myself well and that I have quick reflexes!  Above all, Wing Chun has really raised the bar for me in terms of my ability to handle all sorts of challenges in life.  The physical fitness benefit has also been good.  I would recommend the system to anyone who is willing to work hard and who is looking for a high quality martial arts training experience.”  - Jeremy Strichartz, Contractor.

“I enjoy watching how fast those who are new progress…  For those who totally embrace this martial art, it will shape and change your life”.  Brant Vanhoy, Mortgage Broker.

“Wing Chun meets the criteria I was looking for in a martial art, simplicity, directness and efficiency.  I now have a first hand knowledge of self-defense and a skill set to protect myself without wasting “reaction time”.  Travis Hayes, IBM.
