I love how knowledgeable Aaron is. I'm a very technical person and had a lot of questions. Aaron was very patient and answered all of them. His technique is also great and I feel as though I can defend myself better than I've ever have because of what Aaron taught me.

Working within the Wing Chun Science system, has helped me understand Martial Arts from a completely different view point. Taking it one step further, and going in depth, not just with the history of the sport. But the physics and geometry behind the movement. Creating a different dimension on how to look at Martial Arts and Kung Fu entirely. I look forward to continuing my Training and learning more about the Art and myself in the process!

I'm a petite female taking martial arts lessons for the first time. I chose Wing Chun due to the fact that it'd been invented by a woman. Prior to my first day with Sifu Moy, I'd been drawn to Wing Chun kung fu due to this (and admiration for Ip Man, Bruce Lee's Sifu) but my first lesson with Sifu Moy took it to another level as I gained a TON of knowledge within a span of two hours. Sifu Moy break steps into simple/easy concepts and used analogies that were relatable and understandable, especially for a freshie to this arena. He's taught me that Wing Chun is not about strength (how strong you are) but about chi energy and how to use energy to your advantage self defense. He's very patient, humble and insightful. Everything he teaches, he shares the purpose/logic for it. I'm happy, honored and excited to have found Sifu Moy. I l look forward to learning so much more from him.
