Frequently Asked Questions
How much do lessons cost?
The average monthly cost is $80, based on attending the group class every week. However, fees are based on a per-lesson basis, and may vary depending upon whether you choose to train privately or with the group class, or a combination of both. Specifics will be discussed prior to your first lesson.
There is no membership fee to join Wing Chun Denver. Please contact Sifu Keith for details.
When are the classes held?
Group classes are held once per week, on Sun, Tue, Wed, or Thu evening. The exact day on which class is held each week will be announced anywhere from a week to a month in advance.
Private lessons can be arranged for most days of the week, and is arranged on an individual basis.
Where is the school located?
Wing Chun Denver has been serving the Denver area since 2000. In 2009, the school relocated to its present location in south Aurora, CO, just east of the Cherry Creek Reservoir.
What is Wing Chun?
Wing Chun is a 300 year old Chinese martial art designed purely for learning effective and efficient self defense in the shortest possible amount of time. It is a close-quarter combat style, with emphasis placed on having a direct and strong, yet relaxed, offensive arsenal. Wing Chun is not well suited for tournaments; it is intended to be used for real-life self defense circumstances.
Spelling: You may see Wing Chun spelled Ving Tsun, or other similar variants. They are exactly the same thing - they are pronounced the same way in English and in Chinese, and there is only 1 way to write it in Chinese (discounting Traditional vs. Simplified). The only difference is the method of Cantonese romanization you choose to use. Likewise, Gung Fu = Kung Fu.
I don’t live locally, can I still become a student?
Yes, Wing Chun Denver has a Distance Training Program designed for students who live out of town or out of state. The Program encompasses intense training typically over a 2-day period.
Do you teach general self defense lessons?
Yes. Some people are not able to devote the time required to learn a traditional style of martial arts, but still want to learn some basics of personal self defense on a 1-time or part-time basis.
Please visit the organization developed solely for this purpose: Self Defense Training Institute.
* * * One final thought * * *
You don’t have to learn Wing Chun from Wing Chun Denver. You don’t even have to learn Wing Chun. However, I implore everyone to learn some type of quality self defense, even if for only 1 lesson.
You will probably (and hopefully) never need these kinds of skills to save yourself or a family member from injury, but “probably” will never vindicate regret.
