Core Values

Perhaps the best thing WingTsun™ has to offer our community is what I like to call core values. Core values are the special things you learn through the course of practice like, self-discipline, excellence, goal setting and too many other special qualities to list. These core values, and their systematic implementation, are what make WingTsun™ unique over other physical activities like soccer or basketball. Where as these sports do teach something of teamwork, it is the rich tradition of philosophy and high standards of WingTsun™ that make it so valuable to our community. The following is just a sample of the core values WingTsun™ promotes:

  1. Academic Excellence: Every minor is required to be passing and respectful in school. Intent to promote forms are sent to teachers before each rank exam to verify this.
  2. Excellence in life: Through disciplined practice, WingTsun™ teaches people how to acquire difficult skills. “KungFu” literally means skill through hard work. This spirit of perseverance and discipline to achieve mastery is taught through WingTsun™ and helps people in all walks of life to achieve more.
  3. Goal setting: WingTsun™ ’s ranking system is a metaphor for success in goal setting. By giving people small discreet goals to focus on, they can achieve much larger goals in the martial arts. This skill is easily transferred to other areas of life. Goal setting is the master skill of success.
  4. Respect: One of the fundamental philosophies of WingTsun™ is respect. WingTsun™ teaches students to respect themselves and others. It resonates through our training halls and is role modeled by all our instructors. Respect is the essential foundation to all positive human relationships. With genuine respect for all, we can create a great society.

WingTsun™ is uniquely poised to service a diverse population and can be of benefit to many different people. It is different from other styles of martial arts and different from other physical activities. It has numerous benefits that can strengthen individuals and in turn strengthen our society.
