Daniel V. says, "At first, I was hesitant about attending Sifu Moy's Wing Chun seminar. My initial impression of Wing Chun wasn’t the best—I assumed it was all about blocking with little power behind the moves. But after watching Sifu Moy demonstrate, something clicked. I realized that the techniques he taught could be seamlessly integrated into my existing martial arts practice, taking it to a level I never imagined possible. Sifu Moy is an incredible instructor. He breaks down techniques without making you feel criticized or discouraged. If you're familiar with another martial art, he explains how Wing Chun approaches the same situations, highlighting both the benefits and limitations. One of his key teachings is the concept of the "tree"—limbs represent principles, and branches represent techniques. In his class, you learn the "limbs" (the principles), which allows you to create the "branches" (techniques) on the spot. I’m truly grateful for what I’ve learned from him, and I know there’s more to come. If you're serious about growing in martial arts, I highly recommend checking him out." Read more

Reviews for Sanford karate classes

Recent success stories from people in the Sanford area.
James V.
My Wing Chun instructor, Sifu Moy, is an exceptional teacher because of his deep understanding of the art's foundations and his ability to convey that knowledge to students. He ensures that we start by mastering the fundamentals, emphasizing how the basic moves are like the limbs of a tree, providing stability and strength. From there, we learn to develop techniques that act as the branches, expanding our skills and allowing us to move fluidly. His structured approach builds a strong base, which is essential for progress in any martial art. What sets Sifu Moy apart is his patience and attention to detail. He doesn’t just teach techniques but takes the time to explain the philosophy and principles behind them, ensuring we grasp the "why" behind each move. When mistakes are made, he doesn’t criticize or make us feel discouraged. Instead, he uses those moments as teaching opportunities, helping us strengthen our understanding. This supportive environment allows students to grow confidently, without fear of judgment, which is invaluable for skill development. In addition to his expertise in Wing Chun, Sifu Moy helps us see how it enhances our abilities in other martial arts. He shows us that Wing Chun isn't just a standalone discipline but a way to improve our overall martial arts practice. His dedication to his students and his passion for teaching make him an outstanding instructor, and anyone looking to train in Wing Chun would be lucky to have him as a teacher.
