About
About me:
My name is Jacob Arenstein, and I've been a student of Spring Martial Arts since 1995. Over the years, I have had the privilege of training with many great martial artists, and have learned from several highly knowledgeable instructors. I have also had the honor of training and teaching in multiple dojos including Spring Martial Arts (1995 - Current), Crosswinds Martial Arts (2010 - 2012), and Mou Chuk Martial Arts (2012 - 2016).

Chuan Fa – Wing Chun
The culmination of movement and technique found within Chuan Fa – Wing Chun emphasizes a foundation in Wing Chun and Northern Praying Mantis Kung Fu that is applied with Hapkido joint locking principles and techniques along with Shin Shin Jujitsu fighting theory and techniques. Furthermore, the ideal taught within Chuan Fa – Wing Chun is simplicity in movement. The system implements all concepts, principles, and theories learned from each of these fighting arts.

I enjoy most of all developing an individual's character and helping people succeed with their goals in life; including goals set for self-improvement, self-defense, self-esteem, etc.
