Wing Chun Gung-Fu is an advanced and effective method of self defense.
The system includes three hand forms, one wooden dummy form, eight kicking principles,
the butterfly swords, the 61/2 point long staff and the chi sao (sticky hands)
training method unique to Wing Chun.
Chi Sau helps develop the 13 principles in Wing Chun, as well as mastery over the
techniques of the system.
When practiced correctly, this system will lead to a balanced development of the
3 aspects: physical, mental and spiritual. -- Master Fong
Sifu Marc began his studies of Wing Chun in 1984 at the
Augustine Fong's
group in San Diego, CA.
While studying with Master Fong, Marc suplemented his training by also working
with two other "Famous" Wing Chun sifu's in the LA area.
Around 1986 Sifu Marc also trained at the Inosanto Academy, on a semi-private basis with Sifu Larry Hartsell.
He also had the fortune to train with the late, great, Ted Lucaylucay in the art of Jun Fan Wing Chun and classical Kali.
But it was the influence of Master Fong that has made Marc the teacher that he is today.
"Of all my teachers, I felt Fong's Wing Chun was the best for me. So I packed up my life and moved to Tucson, AZ to train with him full time".That was in 1989. Sifu Marc stayed there until 1996, when he moved to NH. He continues to tain with Master Fong as often as possible and in May of 2003 had the honor of being "recognized" as an instructor in F.W.C.
With Master Fong's encouragement, he teaches Wing Chun as it was taught to him, here at Terry Dow's Academy in Manchester, NH.
