Benefits of Joining the Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu
Academy of Wisconsin
Our Academy is dedicated to your achievement by giving you high quality instruction, innovative training methods and offering you Advanced Kung Fu programs. You will see a difference on the “outside” and feel a difference on the “inside”! We will be guiding you every step of the way.
Dear friend,
There comes a time when we wish we could find a way to improve the quality of our lives. We are always trying to get into great physical condition, have a sharp and focused mind so we can reach our goals, and feel good about ourselves at the end of the day, knowing that we gave it our all and we accomplished something or helped someone else who may need our help.
It is that feeling of belonging, accomplishment and giving of ourselves that really makes us know that we are alive. It is that attitude that we at the Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu Academy have. We want to instill in you that feeling of excellence, accomplishment and wonderment that only comes when you give your all and achieve your goals. It is that never give up attitude, that constant striving, persistence, determination and willingness to go further that makes people shine and standout above the rest.
My name is Sifu Angelo Foti, I am a direct student of Grandmaster William Chueng. My teacher has been studying, practicing and teaching martial arts for over 50 years. He instilled in me the qualities I mentioned above and I want you to instill those qualities in you so you have a chance to achieve your goals.
When joining our school I will do my best to instill and teach you what my teacher taught me about Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu. I have been practicing martial arts for over 20 years and learning Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu for over 15 years and it has definitely changed my life for the better. I see things in a different light now than I did before. My only regret is I wish I could have started my journey in Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu earlier in life as it has shaped and benefited my life in so many positive ways.
What do YOU want from your Martial Arts Training and Fitness Programs?
Look I know that many of you are very busy. You have a job, family, friends and other commitments that seem to take almost every second of every day. It seems like that for a lot of us. But in order to give it your all in those areas of your life and really make a difference you need time to do something that you want to do, something that will benefit you and will really make you grow as an individual so you can feel that sense of accomplishment that comes from reaching your goals.
When I first started martial arts over 20 years ago, I know what I wanted out of my training. And those same benefits are what I want to offer YOU… so you can reach YOUR GOALS too.
Taking classes at the Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu Academy of Wisconsin is easy and there are many benefits to joining our academy:
 |
Simple and Easy to Learn: Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu is a principle based style which means once you learn the main principles of the art you can apply them to many self-defense situations. The techniques are based off of these principles which all you to react quickly to your opponent. Through repetition these principles and techniques become habit forming. And good habits lead to good reactions which will help you defend yourself if the need ever arises. |
|
Efficient Self-Defense: Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu is efficient. There are no wasted motions and the simplest, most direct way is usually the best to save on time and energy. |
|
Improve Self-Discipline, Self-Confidence and Self-Esteem: In order to learn anything well in life you need to do it many times so it becomes natural and you can do it at a moment’s notice. Learning Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu is no different. “Repetition is the mother of skill.” And it is though this repetition that YOU will develop increased Self-Discipline. This increased Self-Discipline will give you increase Self-Confidence now that you are able to easy perform and execute the techniques, forms and drills show in class. Finally this increased Self-Confidence will lead to greater Self-Esteem (Self-Image; the way you see yourself). Increased Self-Esteem will launch you to greater heights because you now know that anything is possible and you can do it when you put your mind to it. |
|
Increase mental focus: Through Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu training you will increase your concentration and focus. When performing the forms, exercises and drills you will need to focus on the movement which will also work your balance and coordination. Your focus will improve which will allow you to concentrate at the task at hand instead of just aimlessly “going through the motions”. |
|
More coordination: Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu training engages your brain which will help you to increase your coordination. The exercises use the arms, legs and stepping together to bring about a total body coordination. |
|
It’s fun! Wing Chun exercises and movements are fun and enjoyable. You will get into the groove right away. |
|
Greater fat loss: The exercise classes that our academy offers will help increase muscle with in-turn burn fat more efficiently. Secondly, these classes will increases the metabolic rate of the body. Finally, the exercise classes will help you reach your target heartrate. By monitoring that your target heartrate is consistently in your target range you will get the most out of the class. By the way, our Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu classes also provide quite a workout too! |
|
Look and Feel Great: Tone your body, build strength and increase your flexibility. Your family and friends will notice a difference in your appearance, your confidence will increase and your energy level will too! |
|
Strengthens every muscle from head-to-toe: Training in Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu gets your whole body involved. You will train your major muscle groups, develop better core strength, improve the strength of your stabilizer muscles as well as develop better tendon strength. It really is a full body workout! |
|
Develop functional strength: You will develop strength that you can use in your everyday life. Every exercise works a collection of muscle groups so you learn to develop total body strength. |
|
Unify your body and mind: Kung Fu develops the body and mind to work as unit. Your hand, feet, eyes and body will move as one which will allow you to execute quicker and more powerful movements though total body coordination. When your body and mind are in working together you become unstoppable! |
|
Builds strength/endurance: Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu unifies the body and mind which build your strength and endurance. In the beginning you will notice you are using muscular strength but though training your force will come from your mind and backed-up by our muscles. This will allow you to gain tremendous strength and save on energy which increases your ability to “go the extra mile.” |
|
Develop incredible power: All the exercises in Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu are helping to develop you internal energy (Chi Power). Everyone has Chi but not everyone knows how to develop it, harness it and express it in their movements. Your training will help you link your mind and body together so your mind controls your Chi Power thus enabling you to develop incredible power. Muscular force (which you usually use in the beginning) will soon be traded in for force developed by using your mind to move your Chi, efficiently and easily so you develop, relaxed, effortless power. |
|
The solution for busy people / Simplify your life: Taking classes at the Traditional Wing Chun Kung Fu Academy will help the busy person get a good workout in a short period of time. This means you don’t need to spend hours at the gym or thinking of what exercises to do when you get out of work. We have it all laid out for you. No pondering of what you are going to do next, we have it covered. |
