Atlantic Warriors Wing Chun Kung Fu

I won't be able to express here just how amazing this Sifu and school are but I will say 5 stars feels just unreasonably low but its the most I could put.

I have been attending this school for around 6 months now. I take it with my 7-year-old son but it should be noted that the next youngest person in class right now is in their mid 30's -- this is not a kid's class, this is serious work but the Sifu is SOOOO good and flexible that it has worked amazingly well for both my son and myself.

Previously, over the last 32 years, I have undergone many disciplines of training including Tae Kwon Do, Tai Chi, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Boxing for years each and others for less time.

The comments that Colin Sheehan made about the Sifu and class are well-said and I agree completely. The way the Sifu teaches is like nothing I have ever seen: efficient, effective, to the point. He always has you imagine the real scenario and practice in such a way that would actually work, and gently corrects you if its wrong and has you practice it for enough time to get it right (and then some more lol).

Sifu's style of teaching is not improvised. He was very strictly, formally instructed both *the training* and *the teaching* from one of the most well-respected martial arts lineages in history. Based on hundreds of years of perfection, he has not changed it to adapt to any specific culture but kept true to form.

I have so many good things to say about the Sifu and the effect this school has had on mine and my son's life. We learn way more than powerful punches and kicks that require minimal effort and leave us in balance. The lessons of Wing Chun teach us how to live our *LIVES* in a powerful way, that takes minimal effort, and leaves us in balance.

I have been taking Wing Chun at Atlantic Warriors for several years now and would recommend this school to anyone who has a serious mind for martial arts. I have been learning and practicing marital arts since I was a child. Having moved around a lot early in life I was exposed to several different styles and schools. As a young adult I was even a junior black-belt instructor for a time. But over the years I began to notice that I was missing a big part of the training. There was a gap between my ability to apply basic fundamental self defense, and what I should have been ABLE to apply on an advanced level. I find many martial artists who suffer the same malady. What Atlantic Warriors provides under sifu Petree is the blueprints and building blocks to get anyone to that advanced state. He provides a very in depth, step by step, approach to applicable self-defense and traditional kung-fu. It is the only school I have attended over the years which has done so. He provides those missing pieces which unlock our potential to truly apply all the knowledge of the martial arts into action. It is a rare thing to find these days, and I would encourage anyone to come in see for yourselves. See you there!
