Montgomery County Kung Fu

Sep 2015

I have been a student at Montgomery County Kung Fu for over a year after having studied martial arts for close to a decade in other styles and schools including Hapkido, Jiu Jitsu, and Karate. The Moy Yat Ving Tsun (Wing Chun) training system at this school is quite different from the typical martial arts; focused more on conditioning the student to handle a range of combat situations using variations on a core set of techniques as opposed to drilling a pre-defined set of attacks and counters. I really enjoy that the school mixes a respect for tradition with an informal and self-directed curriculum in an art that is practical and direct but also flexible, multi-faceted, good for fitness but doesn't demand the athleticism of a gymnast. For a different and thoughtful take on martial arts, check out this school.
