A Master in Taekwondo Lakeland, Advances using Sifu Och Wing Chun.
I had 28 years training and achieving in Taekwondo Lakeland, I became a Master in my own right as a 6th Dan Instructor. I was very impressed with Sifu Och’s Wing Chun from day one, you will be too.
From 6th Dan Master Taekwondo Lakeland to Wing Chun Practitioner: My Martial Arts Evolution
Training in Taekwondo Lakeland, I trained to be able to defend and protect myself and my loved ones. I know you’ll hear the so called EXPERTS and MASTERS talk about how you train to (not fight) whatever that is suppose to mean, but its not reality. Yes you should avoid any and all conflicts but if you can’t avoid them then you should be able to devastate your attacker or attackers.
Why a 6th Dan Taekwondo Master Chose Wing Chun for Ultimate Self-Defense
My last 2 to 3 years in Taekwondo was very unfulfilling I felt inadequate in fighting. Think about that 28 years training before that and feeling inadequate and I had trained under some real masters, grandmasters and experts. I didn’t want to feel like that ever again.
I was in a martial art that had very little full contact. We had point sparring, and play sparring, which most Taekwondo places call sparring. Kicks and punches were done in the air with little to no contact. There was never any force or power behind the techniques.
Taekwondo Lakeland Master 6th Dan: Now Trains in Wing Chun.
Classes were one hour, which didn’t leave a lot of time to work on (in my opinion) on real fighting techniques using Taekwondo Lakeand. This was the reason I wanted to do the martial arts, to defend those I love. To be able to defend and protect my loved ones, so I decided to look else where. I was told about Sifu Och Wing Chun through another Taekwondo instructor that had gone looking for something more realistic then what we had trained, he led me to Sifu Och Wing Chun. I was very impressed with Sifu Och’s Wing Chun from day one.
From day one I was very impressed with Sifu Och’s Wing Chun, it was extremely fast, effective, and wasted no time at all.

A Lakeland Family Martial Art center, that really cares and works.
Sifu Och’s Wing Chun in lakeland is exceptionally impressive as a martial art form. This was what I was looking for. Wing Chun is a lot different than any other art. I feel better with just one year so far of training in Wing Chun than I did with 28 years in Taekwondo.
I’ve even become more focused and more capable in my fighting. It hasn’t been easy to ROOT, keeping your elbows in, and straight line punching but I see the benefit and the simplicity of Wing Chun. But it’s hard to break a lifetime of bad habits but I will keep on trying.
Sifu Justin Och is one of the best martial arts instuctors I have met. He is very good at teaching and explaining every aspect of why a technique works or won’t work. He wants you to suceed and if you give him the time and the chance you will gain more than you thought you could. I have learned a lot since I’ve been in Wing Chun. But I have a lot further to go to be where I want to be.
My punches are more controlled, powerful, my body is more rooted, and I’m not (as much) off balance any more. My power has increased and my speed is better now then it has ever been before. I have gotten into better shape, just from Wing Chun and the blocks, punches and training.
Chain punching by the way is fantastic at building muscle mass in the arms and chest. I have lost about 10-12 lbs in one year just from working out in Wing Chun blocking and attacking. My endurance and cardio has improved greatly.
My endurance, power, speed and cardio has improved greatly but I still have a long way to go. I look forward now to training. I know what I’m doing is not only making my Self Defense and my ability in Wing Chun Kung Fu better.
Furthering my Testimonial at Sifu Och Wing Chun
I still have a long way to go and I will keep training until my body doesn’t allow me to anymore. If a fight breaks out, I just want to end the fight very quickly. I also want to be able to be good enough to not be hit that easily.
It has even improved my Taekwondo fighting ability because when I move in to use the close range combat of Wing Chun, my opponent makes all the room I will ever need for my kicks. Wing Chun under Sifu Och in Lakeland is one of the best choices I have made for my 30+ now year martial art journey.
