Sifu Petree is humbl...: Sifu Petree is humble, grounded, respectful, and realistic and offers an intelligent, efficient, useful, conceptually based fighting system without all the flashy gimmicks sometimes seen in martial arts. The school is straight forward and simple. A great place to get quality instruction. If you're looking for bells and whistles look elsewhere. If you want an honest, efficient education in wing chun check it out!
I was extremely fortunate to meet Sifu Petree and have him take me as a student. Previously, I studied Wing Chun for almost four years while attending Florida State. From this training, I thought I had a pretty good grasp of Wing Chin and close-quarter combat. However, all this changed immediately upon meeting Sifu Petree and I realized how undeveloped my skills actually were.
In the world of martial arts, it is unfortunate that certain teachers must keep secrets. This traditional "secrecy" is not apart of Sifu Petree's teaching. He is totally transparent with his students, which is extremely rare for any lineage. From day one, the "mysticism" that shrouded my understanding was deconstructed in Western terms, backed by physiology, science, and real-world concrete evidence. It is easy to show someone a Wing Chun punch, but it is totally different explaining the bio-mechanical breakdown of why the punch is effective.
It is my opinion that Sifu Petree is the authentic essence of what is means to be a sifu. If anyone has a desire to learn Wing Chun, I would very much suggest to contact Atlantic Warriors.
