Wun Hop Kuen Do

Although Wun Hop Kuen Do is not a fixed style it is a written system of techniques, training methods and philosopy. These principles and training methods are born out of the Kajukenbo system and Ch'uan Fa style (one of the four branch styles of Kajukenbo). The result is a system of training methods and maneuvers that teaches one to be system-less. You might say a system without a system. Because of its complex appearance one might feel that the study of Wun Hop Kuen Do might conflict with your present training system. However, we have a saying that "If it doesn't fit, then it is not Wun Hop Kuen Do". Thus, Wun Hop Kuen Do should have the ability to fit any situation at any time.

I am currently teaching classes in College Station, Texas. If you are interested in learning Wun Hop Kuen Do you can email me. My classes are oriented toward practicality and street defense. This is due to the fact that I began teaching this style exclusively for street defense by the request of a friend of mine at Stanford University. However, there are certainly many other aspects of the Wun Hop Kuen Do art form. My experience in Wun Hop Kuen Do has been enhanced by the fact that I spent a great deal of time in other styles, including Escrima, Hapkido, Tae Kwon Do, Shotokan and Jujitsu. Since Wun Hop Kuen Do incorporates techniques from almost any other style, this is an advantage, particularly when teaching students who have trained in other styles. For this reason, a large number of my students have black belts in other styles. My classes consist of aerobic, flexibility and strength training as well as technical, form and fighting instruction. Our fighting training is designed to improve both street and tournament fighting. My primary goal is to improve the self-defense capability of all of my students no matter what physical capability, background or level of experience they have. The result is more confidence, discipline and physical fitness in all of my students. This is my primary reward for teaching.
