Recommended Wing Chun in ATL?

[flanneldragon]

I'm new to this forum, so first and foremost, hello!

I was curious if any of you may have recommendations for Wing Chun in the Atlanta area.

From what I can gather; there are the following:
http://www.jasonlau-wingchun.com
http://www.francisfongacademy.com
http://www.lywc.com (the teacher studied under Jason Lau above, bit of a drive)
http://www.atlantamartialartcenter.com (bit of a drive)

I haven't had much luck in finding anything else...although I must say I find the Jason Lau school to be rather intriguing. Unfortunately, I've also heard there's some kind of controversy between his school or Yip Man's branch?

In any case...if any of you have any recommendations or know other Sifus or schools that I'm missing, I'd appreciate it! Thanks!

Hello,

Where in Atlanta are you located? The schools you listed are either Jason Lau or Franics Fong. Both have excellent reputations although I would tend to go with Franics Fong if making a choice but that is just me.

I believe there are some others around, I will do some checking and get back to you. If I am not mistaken there is a school affiliated with Leung Ting or Emin in the Atlanta area and I think there is a Moy Yat Family school down here as well. Sorry I do not have more details at the moment but I will try and get some more info for you.

Isn't Jason Lau and Francis Fong brothers under the same Sifu Chiu Wan?

Yes, I do believe that is correct.

I live in Mableton (near Smyrna), but work in Norcross. I checked, and Francis Fong's Academy is pretty much right down the road from work, so I'm going to take a class or two and see how it goes.

Much obliged!

I'm not familiar with the others you mentioned; I think I have a lot of reading up on Wing Chun to do. ;)

There is a Master Samuel Kwok Rep. in the area. Not exactly sure where but if you are interested I will get further information. Master Kwok himself will be in Virginia in March. If you can make it you would have a chance to train with the Master and see if you like the family.

Hello,

Funny coincidence, I just moved from Mabelton to Marietta. My new roomate is a Pekiti Tirsia guy I know from NYC. Feel free to PM me if you ever want to get together.
