Roanoke Kung Fu Academy

Wing Chun (Ving Tsun) Kung Fu is a martial arts system that uses unique training methods to produce spontaneous reflexes. The Wing Chun system is strongly based on logic consisting of 3 core principles: simplicity of technique, efficiency of movement & directness -- which are used to form biomechanical concepts for self defense. Classes are concentrated on 4 fields of study -- strengthening the core, breathing, relaxation of the body & self defense. From these 3 principles & 4 fields of study, students will organically develop the ability to protect themselves with enhanced acute awareness while achieving a high level of confidence that will assist them in their day to day. History Established in 2009. RKA started in a garage in 1997 with a handful of people who shared a love of old Kung fu movies & Bruce Lee. (Wing Chun is Bruce Lee's core foundational Martial Art and is mostly found in larger cities.) With no intentions of ever teaching outside of family -- A co-worker found out I trained & convinced me to teach him. 1 student turned into 5... then 9. Our small crew suddenly turned into a school -- The first and only traditional Yip Man Wing Chun school in the valley.
