Wing Chun Brotherhoood

The Wing Chun Brotherhood (WCB) is rooted in the belief Wing Chun, and martial arts in general, as a way of connecting with other people. Rather than debating the merits of different styles and lineages of Wing Chun, we view these as parallel paths on the same journey of personal growth. By remaining open-minded, and having the courage to try different approaches to the art, we are constantly refining our training methods.

WCB is a weekly and monthly meetup that features open lineage and open style martial arts gatherings, drill-based training, Chi Sao / Gor Sau, and “open mat” sparring.
