There are several good Wing Chun schools in New York City. Particularly in Queens, there is the Moy Yat Ving Tsun (Wing Chun) School in Bayside.

201-02 Northern Boulevard
718 229 5585

The headquarters is in Manhattan's Chinatown, you can get more info at www.moyyat.com

Another school in Queens that comes to mind, is
Sifu Alan Lee. His school is located in Flushing. You can get
in contact with them through www.wingchunnyc.com

I strongly recommend that you look around, ask questions and find a school that you will be comfortable with. You will need a good environment in order for you to develop your kung fu. Good luck!!

Hello,

It looks like someone has already provided you with some links. I would like to offer some others. Please check out these resources. There are plenty of good Wing Chun Sifu and Schools in the NY area. The best thing to do is to check out several and try to find one which meets your needs and personality. Good luck.

I train here: http://sifuchowwingchun.com/index3.html

However Mun Hung trains with Sifu Allen Lee and there is another gentleman named Sam who trains with Sifu James Cama. Also, though I have not seen him post in a while there is Tom Kagan of the Moy Yat lineage. Plenty of resources and choices in this area.

Here are some other links to check out.

A good list of several Wing Chun sites across the web;

That's only because I hardly post at all.
