Mind, Spirit and Movement

Michael Herrera doing Chi Sao with Karl Godwin
The goal of anyone practicing Kung Fu under a teacher is to develop the qualities of their mind, spirit and movement. A teacher should be constantly influencing these qualities within a student.  Properly transmitting these qualities requires time, patience and hard work for both teacher and student.  Over time these qualities become the foundation for future skill development.

Michael Herrera doing Chi Sao with Karl Godwin
These qualities can be seen, but more importantly felt by others.  Many of these qualities take years to develop. If a teacher is also developing higher levels of skill over time the pursuit of these qualities between a student and teacher can take a lifetime.  Wing Chun Dallas Kung Fu was created to give students the opportunity to train and refine qualities given to me by my teacher Karl Godwin.  To take advantage of an introductory lesson please email Michael Herrera at Wingchundallas@gmail.com

Hard Work and Skill

Developing refined skill over time
Kung Fu relates to any skill developed through hard work. However, in modern times the term Kung Fu has been used almost exclusively to refer to Chinese martial arts. Most practitioners of these arts teach and practice many methods and techniques without taking the time to develop refined skill through hard work.  I myself have have been guilty of this superficial approach. In my experience the reason for this shortcoming originates from the idea of application.  Martial artist want to know if their techniques will work in real life situations.  They want to know if their techniques will pass the ultimate test of martial arts "Application".

Wing Chun Dallas is a Kung Fu school dedicated to developing and refining skill based martial art with a realistic approach to application. When applying martial arts to self-defense our approach is holistic rather than situational. This allows for maximizing development of skill rather than situational games of natural resources. For more information on our methods, how we train or to get started email Sifu Michael Herrera at Wingchundallas@gmail.com  or read more at wingchundallas.com
