So I am looking for a school to train in for wing chun and this seems like the place to go. With an occasional visit from guru Dan Inosanto I think that this is a good place to start. I have been wanting to do wing chun for a while and am looking for a good school. Any thoughts, comments? Here is the website for the school. www.francisfongacademy.com
Very lively instructor.Speaks southern accent American English with a Chinese accent.(I'd never heard "y'all" from a Chinese instructor before!)Very strong on takedowns and such,too.Excellent instructor.Very realistic outlook on fighting/techniques.Go.
Great school but don't expect to see Sifu very often. He travels the world giving seminars and whatnot. And the Dan Inosanto visits - you'll have to pay a couple hundred for those because when he comes its for a seminar. I loved training there but I was younger and couldn't afford it so I had to drop. I was 16 or 17 working part time and going to school and also making car payments. The tuition was pretty steep even back then - can't imagine what it is at now.
not sure how much the tuition is...but it can't be more than the Jason Lau school here.......that one is $600 upfront AND you are only on a trial basis....they have to accept you into the school first. I have an appt. today with the francis fong school at 6:30 and hopefully I can find out more info about it and how much the tuition is. Hopefully no more than 70-80 dollars.......but I doubt it. Any one else a part of the program?
