Wing Chun is a form of Chinese martial arts that specializes in practical and effective close quarters self defense techniques. The style itself utilizes scientific approaches such as biomechanics, centerline theory, & angular deflections. This allows for anyone to become efficient and confident in their ability to defend themselves. Wing Chun is tailored to people who do not possess the "brute strength" as seen in most other martial arts systems, making it an ideal choice for woman and children.

The school of Traditional Wing Chun: Baltimore has been established since late 2010, by Tim Berkemeier due to the high demand of private lessons within Baltimore, Maryland. It was decided that a larger training area and more equipment was needed in order to provide the best quality of Traditional Wing Chun instruction. Even though group lessons are now being offered, it is my goal to provide and maintain the "private lessons" feeling by actively engaging each student in demostrations, practice, and one on one instruction within the class.

Strategy
In combat or warfare it is always best to have a strategy. Warfare is like chess. But then it becomes competitive. You will have a victor and a loser. So in competition it was said that the best defense is an offense. My master told me the profound principle when attacking, always have a defense first. It always works for me. But this course shows how you must always apply principles before technique.

Defense Against
This course teaches the individual not to be afraid of punches & kicks. Once you remove your fear of physical attack all uncertainty of the unknown is discarded. Bruce Lee said “Don’t be afraid or nervous, concentrate on the matter at hand. Not the outcome, and pinpoint the key factor.” You will learn to get past the fist and feet.

Learn the fundamental of Martial Arts
This course teaches the principles and understanding that martial arts is a science and is intellectual. You learn the science of balance and symmetry, bio-physics, bio-mechanics, nero-muscular reaction, sensitivity, mobile, kinesiology-movement of bones, anatomy, blood flow, the process of interruption with forms, focus of attention with independent limbs along with concentration & coordination of the mind & body. This course also touches on therapeutic healing.

As a principle student of my Sifu Master John clayton; I have gained the knowledge and understanding not to learn how to fight or self-defense, but how to disable!

Sparring / Combat / Fighting
This course involves using movements of striking and kicking in motion. You will find that most of your power & techniques become hard to do because of mobility.

Disarming of Weapons

Bart Jarm Dao – Eight Slash Butterfly Swords
These twins’ short swords invented by the Abbott’s of Shaolin are invincible because of their ability to rotate inside and outside the arms. The monks didn’t favor killing so they only cripple or maim their opponents by attacking the four limbs and 8 moveable joints. With the precise footwork of the wing chun system the butterfly swords enhance your speed, balance, and footwork along with using two limbs at the same time
