Excellent teacher, well organized program, great atmosphere.
I have been attending for about a month now and I love it! Sifu Dale is very experienced and knowledgeable, and everyone is very helpful.
If you let it, it is like home away from home. With a wonderful understanding of the system with Sifu Dale and the strong support under him showing you what this system can do. Only with your time, effort and much much patience and their support and leadership you will be rewarded. Thx.
Very good for women. Works you out while you learn how to attack instead of being attacked.
The instructors are awesome, they always help the kids out alot. The KIDS do an excellent job too.
I have trained Wing Chun numerous years and I greatly appreciate the acceptance I have received since joining, particularly as I come from a similar, though separate linage. For those interested in learning authentic Wing Chun this would be well worth your time to check out. Further, having a Wing Chun family in PA after leaving my Wing Chun family in North Carolina is a blessing I can’t begin to describe. So, do take the time to check out the school as the training, fellowship and knowledge you gain will be worth it; doing honor to the art and name of Wing Chun.
Amazing kids program!!! Sifu Dale is very experienced as he has 18+ years in education, working as an elementary teacher as well as his background in Kung Fu. The kids learn very important life lessons all while having fun.

It happens several times per month. I get a call from a potential student who is interested in learning Ving Tsun exclusivly. They often tell me about how they have looked far and wide and suddenly they stumbled upon my school (which has been operating and open to the public for 13 years now) and […]
‘The average reaction time of a visual stimulus is 0.17 seconds. Plenty of time to take decisive action even in a worse case scenario.’ Not a knife defense demonstration, but a reaction time demonstration utilizing a training knife to illustrate the point that decisive action can always beat reaction even in a worse case […]
I still remember like it was yesterday, standing outside the door of the Ving Tsun Kung Fu Studio in Hatboro, PA. I had recently moved to the area to complete my formal training under Sr. Master Jay Hitchman and this was my first visit. Even though I had about six years of training under my […]
I get asked from time to time why I don’t build natural trunk wooden dummies and choose to build out laminated stock. Well the four pictures you see here illustrate why I choose to build out of laminated wood. As you can see in the pictures from a local country club built of oak timber […]
Over the years as a martial artist, competitive athlete and certified personal fitness trainer I have been asked many times as to which exercises that I feel benefit performance the most in the weight room.

To improve your practice in any endeavor, quit focusing only on points A and B. Learn to improve the space between them… The transitions. This is really where the magic, science, art and beauty of a practice lives. Anyone can do points A and B- ANYONE. But what separates the master from the novice is […]
The student approached the old master and asked, ‘Master when is the best time to learn kung fu?’ The master, with a subtle smile said, ’10 years ago.’ The student somewhat perplexed thought the answer over and then asked another question. ‘Master, when is the second best time to begin learning kung fu?’ With a […]
Many new to the martial arts are surprised to find that many teachers of martial arts, Chinese arts in particular, are very interested in sharing their lineage.

Just a brief article in regards to a wooden dummy that I built in 2012 that was featured on episode 201 of NCIS, the number 1 show on TV at the time. On February 14, 2012 (yep, Valentine’s Day) When I spoke to the news crew at CBS Local, I gave them the headline, ‘Local […]
Click Here for Video There is a Ving Tsun Kuen Kuit (traditional saying) that states ‘Ving Tsun passing down authentically.’ Over the years there has been a lot of discussion as to what that means. In our school it means to pass it on authentically, without changes based on any one person’s thinking. It also […]
In the book ‘Ving Tsun Kuen Kuit’ by Grandmaster Moy Yat and CN Kwong, John Moy 4 recounts his first meeting with Grandmaster Moy Yat many years ago.

Something that we have observed over the years at the Academy of Ving Tsun Kung Fu in New Brighton, PA in regards to the acquiring of martial arts skill.

‘Eyes beaming with courage can quickly neutralize the situation.’ A Ving Tsun proverb that reminds us of the need train so much that real courage is developed , and that nothing more than a simple look can cause a would be Challenger to back down without a physical confrontation, thus creating the simplest way to […]
If you are looking for information about the general term ‘self defense’ as most common people use it, then this is a good place to start before you end up in the legal blender.

‘Where’s the Beef?’ Or should we say something more like, ‘where’s the training?’ A lot of schools out there subscribe to the, ‘Get ’em in, and get ’em out mentality’…. All the way down to offering only half hour long classes. Only a half hour long??? If you figure in a ten minute warm up, […]
