Our Kung Fu Irvine school (Wing Chun Orange County) is proud to be able to offer authentic Ip Man lineage Wing Chun Kung Fu in Irvine / Lake Forest. Our Kung Fu classes specialize in both the practical applications of Wing Chun along with the brilliant science behind its time-tested principles.

Our Kung Fu heritage began in Hong Kong in the 1950s with Ip Man and his famous martial arts student, Bruce Lee. Our Wing Chun instructors teach Dragon Family Wing Chun, part of the Leung Sheung lineage (Ip Man's senior-most student in Hong Kong). Dragon Family Wing Chun is a practical self-defense martial art system which works to allow a smaller person to overcome a bigger, stronger attacker. It does this by using the ground for power and solidity, tactile sensitivity to use the force of the other person and efficiency to become quicker than them.

Here is our Irvine Kung Fu school class schedule for our adults, juniors and kids. Our Kung Fu school caters to many looking for "Kung Fu Irvine", "Wing Chun Irvine", "Irvine Kung Fu" and more in the surrounding Orange County area.

Our adult Wing Chun Kung Fu classes are 60 minutes long and include warm-ups, kung fu forms, drills, a lesson of the day and application-based training and/or sparring.

Class sizes small. There are all diffferent student levels in each class. It is a very cooperative kung fu class environment where senior students get excited about sharing their passion of Wing Chun with the newer students. Our Kung Fu students are all very friendly, encouraging and love to help! Because of this, the kung fu classes listed on our schedule are all great for beginners!

We do have an adult martial arts curriculum but adults don't wear belts or sashes. Rather, we have personal levels and certificates along the way.

We recommend wearing comfortable workout attire and sneakers for Wing Chun class at our Irvine/Lake Forest martial arts school.

You can expect a safe and encouraging kids martial arts environment for your child. An environment that, in addition to teaching kids practical martial arts for self-defense, also teaches kids focus, respect and discipline.

Beginners Kids Kung Fu classes are for new students (children ages 5-10). They are 40 minutes long.

Kids Level II are for students (children ages 5-10) that have been with us for a longer time. These classes are also 40 minutes long.

Juniors (aka Teens Classes) are for both beginners and longer term students ages 11-15.

While we do not participate in tournaments or competitions, there is monthly testing to help keep the kids on track with the curriculum.

The Martial Art Trusted for Real-World Self-Defense

Wing Chun is a practical form of Kung Fu known for its efficiency in real-world self-defense. Due to its close-quarters hand-to-hand combat effectiveness, private security and personal protection agents regularly choose Wing Chun in one form or another as their go to method of hand-to-hand combat.  That's also likely why it has been taught and integrated into the combative programs of hundreds of military & law enforcement agencies around the world such as the Navy Seals, FBI and CIA and other  special forces around the world.  

But also...

A Practical Martial Art for Everyone!

The best part is that Wing Chun is an effective self-defense system for EVERYONE, regardless of size, age, or gender. Its real-world applicability and efficiency in close-quarters combat allows a smaller, weaker person to successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger, heavier opponent.
