I have been attending classes here for almost 3 years. The kwoon (school) has become my second home. Sifu (teacher), and my kung fu brothers and sisters, have taught me so much... it would be impossible for me to every truly return the gifts received. You will not find a better teacher. Sifu is fully dedicated to the art of Wing Chun Kung Fu, and this shines in everything that he says and does. We'd love to have you drop by for a chat and a bit of hands-on demonstration.
Cheers.

Sifu is a great treacher - very knowledgeable and patient. The school is set up in a way where new students learn from older students. All of the students are very friendly and helpful. It's a very positive environment that feels more like a community than just a school. I honestly am not a very athletic person but I look forward to going to class and learning more Kung Fu. Their hours are also very good for people who work late or are looking for an activity in the evenings. The monthly rates are a steal for how many hours you can spend in class vs a monthly gym pass.

This school is perfect for first time learners. I have seen skilled and seasoned martial artists continue to train here. It feels just like a family, the setting is very open and relaxed. People of all levels train together and teach one another, so there is very little pressure. Moy Yat is a great place to learn not only martial arts but also how to become more comfortable and confident with yourself. The Sifu puts his heart into this school and helps everyone feel like a part of the family. Try it, you'll be glad you did.
