For over 20 years, I've been a student at Unified Theory, where I've had the pleasure of learning Wing Chun from one of the best instructors I could have asked for. Raymond's in-depth explanations, the positive and supportive atmosphere he cultivates in his classes, and his balanced approach to teaching, which incorporates practice drills, combative Wing Chun, and traditional Wing Chun, are all factors that contribute to my enjoyment of the training.
This balanced approach has been instrumental in my steady improvement in both the mental and physical aspects of applying Wing Chun techniques. It has also allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of how and when to apply these techniques effectively. As a fighting system that places equal emphasis on its conceptual framework and its technical application, Wing Chun requires a balanced approach to learning. Unified Theory's approach has proven to be an excellent fit for my learning style and has enabled me to make significant progress in my Wing Chun journey.
In my Personal Life Wing Chun has been of immense benefit in my work and social life. The challenge of being tested each week in my assumptions and my approach to Problem Solving, Conflict, and emotional discipline within the class has allowed me to build a personal insight that can only come from a challenge that pushes you physically, mentally and emotionally in a friendly space.
Taking the thought process that works in class and applying it to my daily life has enabled me to acknowledge my limitations, improve my awareness, make decisions and be willing to adapt and overcome in areas of my life I would previously not have thought were possible.
