Nobody to impress. Nothing to prove.™
Just real self-defense instruction for North Alabama and the Tennessee Valley.
We chose the thistle, a weed, to represent us.
A spined, stubborn, impossible-to-kill weed that grows in the cracks of stone walls, along the edges of battlefields, and in the poorest soil, under the harshest conditions — yet still thrives.
It represents those born fighting because it draws blood from anyone who tries to uproot or harm it.

SKILL=CONFIDENCE & PEACE OF MIND
Size and Strength? Not needed.
Wing Chun and Kali were designed to give a smaller person an advantage.
“The art of Wing Chun was developed by a woman, no doubt smaller and not as strong as her male counterparts. The underlying premise of using Wing Chun is that you are fighting a bigger, stronger opponent. Trading kicks and punches is clearly not the ideal strategy.”
from Paul Vunak in his book,
R.A.T. FIGHT,
Combat Secrets of the World’s Deadliest Fighters,
(pg. 26)

BRUCE LEE’S CONNECTION TO WING CHUN
Wing Chun is the only art that Bruce Lee ever formally studied.
His teacher was Master Yip Man.
His friend was Duncan Leung.
Our lineage is through Duncan Leung.
Our Kali line is from
Tatang Ilustrisimo
Yuli Romo
Michael Blackgrave
Dustan Carroll.
Everything comes from daily life even the weapons.
MMA is a combat sport with valuable attributes. Our focus is different.
The following are excerpts from an article by Martialdevelopement.com back when there was much internet debate over the viability of Wing Chun in the sporting arena of MMA.
Robbie Lawler’s Ruthless Wing Chun
Tags: EliteXC, MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), rules, self-defense, Wing Chun
“I’ve always known that, sooner or later, the Chinese art of Wing Chun Kuen would be represented in a professional mixed martial arts bout. I just didn’t expect to see it in MMA’s historic prime-time debut”
Robbie Lawler
“On May 31, 2008, Robbie Lawler forever settled any reasonable doubts about Wing Chun’s viability in MMA.
Lawler’s eye poke, unintentional though it was, ended the bout in seconds. There is little doubt in my mind that, if the referee had allowed it, Lawler could have followed up with an uncontested knockout…”
“Effective defense of vital areas cannot be an afterthought; it must be integrated into a fighting strategy from the outset, and supported by coherent tactics. The approach must be … to eliminate the threat as rapidly as possible.
Does any of this sound familiar? These are the precepts of Wing Chun Kuen, Bruce Lee’s original martial art.”
