You Give Me Commitment and Effort.
The Wing Chun training you receive will profoundly improve your martial skills and help you work towards totality in combat as expressed in Wing Chun.
Recall from the homepage that my ultimate objective for you is to flourish; not just in martial arts, but in life.
An intensive study of the movement training discipline of Wing Chun can cultivate the highest level of well-being by satisfying all elements of its construction.
Are you unsure of beginning Wing Chun training or, if you've trained before, are you gun-shy of resuming training because:
You're afraid your conditioning is not good enough?
Your previous experience with Wing Chun was not good?
You were made to do advanced things right out of the gate?
You haven't found the Wing Chun teacher that "fits" you?
You haven't found a Wing Chun curriculum that has the breadth and depth you seek?
You've been injured before training Wing Chun?
Solid Skill Development A process involving steps such as stance, "riding hand" mechanics, "rolling hand" mechanics, elbow positioning, relaxation, and mindfulness can develop solid skill in a sensitivity exercise like Chee Sau or sticky hands. A system involving multiple stages of curriculum ascension can develop solid skill in Wing Chun. |
Confidence Being receptive to Wing Chun teachings and diligently working on the skills leads to good Wing Chun technique. Good technique, mindfulness, and countless repetitions leads to success in Wing Chun. Wing Chun success breeds confidence. |
Guarantee of Satisfaction The 100 percent satisfaction guaranteed commitment is something I pride myself on. I truly want you to feel that the value you receive from your Wing Chun training is exceptional. Read more about the martial arts training guarantee here (coming soon). |
I know how frustrating it is to work with Wing Chun businesses or professionals who don’t provide in-depth teaching and personal attention.
I pride myself on both.
Beyond in-depth teaching and personal attention, you can trust:
My knowledge, skills, and abilities (evidenced by my credentials)
My personal and professional experience

My mindset
Close Range Combat Academy - Maryland
I am not currently affiliated with CRCA - Maryland. I was a student of the head teacher, Sifu Wayne Jackson from 1996 until 2006. Wing Chun Gung Fu was the primary discipline taught by Sifu Wayne. CRCA - Maryland closed its doors when Sifu Wayne retired.
In 1996, I began training Wing Chun with Sifu Wayne Jackson in Williamsport, Maryland. My Wing Chun training continued with him until his retirement from teaching in 2006. As a senior student, I began teaching advanced classes under Sifu Wayne in 2001.
On the professional side of things, I first began teaching in 2001. As the Fitness Director at Headquarters Battalion, Headquarters Marine Corps, Henderson Hall, I launched a martial arts program under the Marine Corps Community Services banner. This program continued until my departure in February 2008.
This time period was instrumental in my professional growth. I taught classes nearly every day of the week; one of which was Wing Chun.
Since 2008, I have mostly taught in the civilian world; except for a brief, several-month stint of teaching aboard Westover Air Reserve Base in 2015; while employed as the Exercise Physiologist.
Throughout my career, I have helped countless men and women develop Wing Chun knowledge, skills and abilities. My fondest memory:
Meeting James DeMile at his school north of Seattle, Washington in 1998.
He was an original student of Bruce Lee in Seattle and the author of
Bruce Lee's 1 and 3 Inch Power Punch.
To this day, I can still picture him playing with an invention of his. He had made a device that allowed him to measure his reaction time.
Coming soon!
I define this by a single word - family.
This is the feeling I desire for you to experience.
Other single word choices that serve my mindset well include: brotherhood or community.
The desired result is twofold:
You feel that you're cared about
You feel a sense of belonging to a group that shares a common purpose
The “path” involves three simple steps:
Step 1 - Claim, Schedule, & Complete

Step 2 - Join & Commit

Step 3 - Achieve

Immersing yourself in the experience of Wing Chun training can certainly liven your life in countless ways.
The connection between your mind, body, and spirit will strengthen greatly providing you with an increased appreciation of the connectedness of your own being, which can lead to a greater appreciation of the world around you.
Your confidence will grow by leaps and bounds providing you with the self-belief to conquer new personal and / or professional challenges.
You will experience stamina improvements that provide you with increased energy that inspires you to try new active pursuits you've only previously dreamed of.
These "livenings" only scratch the surface of what's possible.
The human body was created to move.
In fact, movement is critical to human existence.
"Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save it and preserve it." - Plato
Beyond livening your life, Wing Chun training can lengthen your life in numerous ways and it can increase your "healthspan" or the time you spend in good health and being free from disability.
The maintenance of a healthy weight is more likely when movement is a regular part of your life. Maintaining a healthy weight and being active contribute to the reduction of chronic diseases connected to inactivity and obesity, which can lead to a longer life.
Resilience or the ability to adapt positively under adverse circumstances is thought to be associated with longevity. Quality movement training can create positive adverse circumstances that promote the development of resilience. This resilience can transcend movement and contribute to a lengthened life.
The link between health and social connections is strong. Being a part of CFP's Wing Chun community connects you to others with whom you have shared interests. This connection can positively impact your health, which can, in turn, positively impact your life's length.
These "lengthenings" only scratch the surface of what's possible.
