Hi, I'm from the UK and I'm going to Florida over Christmas and I just want to know if there are any schools or Wing Chun practitioners I can visit while I'm there.
If any of you are from that part of the world or can recommend somewhere I can go in St. Petersburgh for WC then let me know.
Thanks
I have a couple of Leung Sheung lineage schools in Florida to suggest.
Here's a link to the oldest Wing Chun school in Florida ( ) located in Sanford, FL, just up highway 4 from St. Petersburg:
Florida Wing Chun
2635 S Sanford Ave
Sanford, FL 32773-5273

Another good school, is the Centerline Academy, in the Neptune Beach, FL area: http://www.centerlineacademy.com
I met the latter's sifu, Armando Sainz, last May in Marin, California at Ken Chung's annual Wing Chun camp: http://www.centerlineacademy.com/
Good solid core of basics, very spirited, and a great guy.
Check out their schedules online and contact 'em. My name won't get you noticed, but tell them I'm Ben Der's student and recommended you.
