Wing Chun Dynamics

Signed up for Wing Chun Dynamics 2 weeks ago and have attended every class available to beginners. It’s been an overall great experience, the instructors are extremely knowledgable and patient.
I wanted to learn Wing Chun for its self defense, breathing techniques and for the mental and physical conditioning. Looking forward to leveling up!

I have been practicing martial arts on and off for a long time. Could never find a school that i really enjoyed. From Kempo karate to Wing Chun. Back in 2009 I found a Wing chun school and tired it for about 6 months. It had not structure. I would practice my form over and over during my class, and would be lucky if my Sifu or a classmate would give me 5 or 10 mins of there time. I got very bored and stop going. Missing the arts, I wanted to find a place to train but didn’t know what style i really wanted. See, I have a very stiff and inflexible lower half (waist down). Wing Chun seemed to be the style for me. A friend recommended Wing Chun Dynamics because it was very close to my house. I went online and signed up, but it was closed to new students at that time. See Sifu Ken only opens the door every few months for new students, this way the new students get a lot of one on one time. I was a day late and was pretty bummed. I put myself on a waiting list and Sifu Ken was nice enough to let me come to a Sunday class even tho the class for new students just closed a day before. When I got there I introduced myself. I asked if I should sit down and watch the class, as I have done in the other Wing Chun school. Henry the Sihing (senior brother), said no ! Let me show you how and why we hit the sand bag. (I never hit the sand bag in the 6 months I was in the other Wing Chun school) From Day one, they have kept me very interested In Wing Chun and you never stop learning. Anything that you are taught has an explanation of why we are doing that. No matter what class you are in at the time, you are learning.. I have been with Wing Chun Dynamics since November 2014 and plan on staying with them forever.
What makes Wing Chun Dynamics different from other Wing Chun schools is, the classes has structure, you do your forms, primary and secondary blocks touch hands a lot. You are constantly learning. The Sihings and Sije (senior brothers and sisters) help and lead classes. They are there to help you get up when you start to fall. Even the other classmates, when they see you are having problems or just can’t get it, they jump in and help you without you having to ask. I have never seen that anywhere else. Sifu Ken will explain in great details everything. And if you can’t get it, he will explain one on one untill you do. The knowledge and skills of Sifu Ken will definitely impress you. Sifu ken also has a videos you can reference and learn from. Watch the video, then practice it in class. So what are you waiting for ?? If you are looking for a great school to learn Wing Chun here it is! Take the challenge and check it out «WING CHUN DYNAMICS» I promise, you will NOT be disappointed !!

I met Sifu Ken in 2010 and thats when i finally found the martial arts Wing Chun Kung Fu close range system i wanted to learn. Sifu Ken helped me and the rest of the students get better knowledge and understanding the Wing Chun system. The videos online also helps with the out of class training to help you improve your movements, angles, memorization, etc. Everyone works out together in a friendly environment. Sifu Ken also teaches you the proper angles, structure, and applications of the 3 empty hand forms. If you want to learn how to protect yourself and your family, I highly recommend this to anyone who’s willing to learn the Wing Chun system.

On and off, I had over 9 years of experience learning Wing Chun. Prior to training with Sifu Ken at Wing Chun Dynamics for the past 3 years, I trained at another Wing Chun school in the same (Yip Man) lineage in San Francisco. I picked Wing Chun out of all martial arts because as a tiny woman I believe this is the most effective technique for self-​defense and protecting myself in life-​and-​death situations. It also helps me develop physical and mental power. Wing Chun forms and techniques may not be as entertaining to watch as many other martial arts because they focus on effectiveness, not prettiness.
At Wing Chun Dynamics, Sifu Ken emphasizes the importance of balancing yin and yang. The training covers power, dynamic tension, breathing, foundation, footwork, structure, angle precision, forms, wooden dummy and a lot more.
What I’ve found the most impressive about Sifu Ken is thanks to his engineering background, he is very skilled at explaining complex Wing Chun techniques in an analytical way, often by using diagrams and props, followed by demonstrations of effective techniques and student partner drills. This may be very hard to find in other schools. Sifu Ken has helped me understand Wing Chun is a life-​long martial art – you can learn to become better every day.
Traditional Hong Kong Wing Chun schools don’t have structured classes or curriculums. That means there is no hand-​holding for new students, who are to learn as much as they can by learning from more senior students. Wing Chun Dynamics has structured curriculums to help students advance from one level to the next. This is not a commercialized school. Students here don’t care to have belts or sashes to show others which level we’re in. They care about techniques, work-​out, and being able to kick some butt on the street if they have to. To learn the cool stuff, students need to first learn the basic techniques. If you think you can pay to learn wooden dummy or chi sao on Day 1, this is not your place.
Sifu is keen on building a Wing Chun family. At the school, every student is expected to help each other to advance. Outside of classes, we have events and parties for interested students to get together.
A bonus point is that Sifu Ken encourages students to participate in competition to gain experience. Prior to each competition, Sifu Ken spends extra hours every weekend (at no extra cost) to train all competitors at the school, teaching us more advanced techniques and helping us be best prepared for the competition.

Wing Chun has given me confidence not just if I need to defend myself, but as state of being in my everyday life. The martial art of Wing Chun is the most effective fighting technique I have come across. Sifu ken is very detailed in the way he teaches. Every aspect is thoroughly deconstructed to help you understand how best to apply the all the techniques. You can always ask Sifu Ken about any concept you do not understand and he will patiently go over it with you until you have it down clearly n your head. The classes are fun and you will make new friends.

I met Sifu Ken in 96 when I lived in SF and trained with his Sigung Chris Chan. Ken was Sigung Chris Chan’s senior student and always led the advance classes on Wednesdays. He was always very detail oriented and extremely through in his teachings and explanations of Wing Chun concepts.
Eventually life got complicated and I stopped training.
Fast forward to January 2012. I got Married, had kids, and moved down the peninsula. Around the same time my dad had an injury that forced him to stay in the hospital for several months. By the time he got out of the hospital he could barley walk because his legs had not been used for so long. I didn’t want that to ever happen to me so I went to see Chris Chan. My schedule did not work well with his and after explaining my situation he told me to see Sifu Ken Chun who was teaching in Belmont.
I’ve been with Ken for over 3 years now and loving it. Wing Chun is a very simple martial art conceptually but extremely complicated to fully understand. It requires more than just physical effort on the part of the student. I can equate it to taking an unfamiliar alphabet and creating you own language from it. It will require you to think, to forget what you think you know, to let go.
Ken truly cares for his school and his students. Unlike many martial art schools which are income generating factories, his focus is on quality, having a smaller, tight knit group of people who want to learn as much about the art as possible and who take it very seriously.
Is Wing Chun right for you? Well if you think that it takes too long to receive an email sometimes maybe Wing Chun is not a good fit for you, but if you like to be challenged, think critically, like solving problems and realize Rome was not built in a day, then Wing Chun might be right up your alley.

A true gem to find Wing Chun Kung Fu in the bay area that is true to its form. I’ve been training here for about half a year and plan to continue making it a part of my life. They train you well, but are also helpful and welcoming. I highly recommend this for anyone wanting to learn martial arts, or to find a peaceful centerline in their life.

I’ve been training here a little over a month now and I like the small class sizes because the instructors can be more attentive to my needs. Since the class is geared towards older students (age wise), my comfort level is high as I get to learn with people who are generally the same size /​age as I am. Most schools only train for about 45 mins because they have many classes throughout the day. Not here though, it is primarily 1 class and it lasts for 1.5 hours. In that time period you can learn a lot and also break a sweat as the instructors push you to do more than you normally would. With modern technology, the monthly tuition grants you access to online videos to help you memorize and practice the forms on your own time. If you are eager to learn Wing Chun, this is the school for you, but you’ll only be as good as the effort you put into it.

Training with Sifu Ken Chun has been interesting and fun. Interesting how, well Sifu Ken teaches in a way where traditionally you have to find out the meaning in each exercise. Sifu Ken explains why and how it is better. I find Sifu Ken’s knowledge very insightful. The fun part, most of us are usually stressed from work or worry, the training and the drills Sifu Ken teaches us are really practical. I mean something you can use out in the real world to defend yourself when need be.
Plus, the students in Sifu Ken’s class all are very helpful and friendly. We are like a family.

I am a Wing Chun instructor of another linage (Wing Tsun)
I can honestly say that Sifu Ken not only is a knowledgeable and kind person, but a very good Sifu.
He has done a lot of very good things for the Wing Chun /​Ving Tsun /​Wing Tsun community as a whole here in the SF Bay Area. a
Thank you Sifu Ken!

Studying Wing Chun has changed my life.
I’m an independent contractor working in high tech — a generally stressful combination. Through mental and physical conditioning, wing chun has provided me with an outlet and a means to maintain my sanity.
Under Sifu Ken Chun, learning is done at your own pace. You can be as laid back or proactive when it comes to learning the forms and techniques.
Sifu Ken cultivates a fun, friendly atmosphere where everyone feels welcome.
I can’t overstate the friendliness of the environment. In the past I’ve studied in studios where it was all business, focused, very intense. There are periods in each class where this is the goal but the students and the vibe always returns to fun and friendly.

I’m still very happy to be training at Wing Chun Dynamics. Sifu Ken is an excellent instructor. The more you are willing to put your time and energy into the system, the more time and energy Sifu Ken will put into you. For example, I had a business trip abroad in February. I told Ken that I’d be looking to train at other Wing Chun schools while abroad. So for a few weeks beforehand, he made sure that I was getting extra attention and focus to get me ready to touch hands with another school. Again in May 2012, I told him that I would be traveling to Seattle to participate in a competition. Sifu Ken spent a great deal of time preparing me for that competition (came home with gold & silver medals, btw). In anticipation of another competition in a few weeks, Sifu Ken has been giving up a lot of time on weekends and Friday nights in order to provide extra training to those of us competing. All of this with no additional cost besides my regular tuition. As long as I was willing to commit to participating and practicing, Sifu Ken was willing to commit to providing training and instruction.
Sifu Ken also attempts to foster a really fun environment. We have regular events where families and friends are invited to have some food and enjoy some merriment all within the context of building the Wing Chun family. There’s the annual summer picnic, holiday parties, and a few others.
Of course, learning Wing Chun is still at the center of all of this. The class structure has changed slightly in my 1+ year here. But that’s because there has been a growth of students (which is excellent). The classes are all still great work outs for the mind and body. The great thing about this system is that the workouts are as tough as they were when I first started. They are just differently tough.
Sifu Ken is a seemingly endless well of knowledge when it comes to fighting and Wing Chun. If you are looking for a place to learn self defense as well as learn more about yourself, this is the place to go.
