Western Lotus Athletics

We keep the tradition of Chinese Martial Arts, and promote a strong family environment amongst our students.

Martial arts have many similarities such as fitness, self-defense, confidence building and discipline. But some arts are heavier in grappling or submissions, while others focus on strikes, throws or hand to hand combat. Wing Tsun incorporates a full spectrum of a Martial Arts arsenal. From trapping and anti grappling to it's famous striking, Wing Tsun is defiantly a well rounded system. 

Arguably one of the first forms of MMA (or at least a predecessor), Wing Tsun Kung Fu is a balanced martial art, offering components from all of the arts, with an emphasis on engaging the mind in the strategic application. A Wing Tsun saying is “don’t box a boxer”, “don’t grapple a grappler”, rather fight a battle you can win.
