Sifu Fernandez is an experienced instructor, renowned bouncer and body guard. His street fighting experience has helped him formulate and further evolve his studies in combat and martial arts – bringing you the best experience and knowledge he has to offer. He began training Wing Chun in 1972 under the lineage of Chu Shong Tin (Ip Man -> Chu Shong Tin -> Jim Fung -> Sifu Fernandez) and has mastered the WingTsun system as a private student of Grandmaster Leung Ting (Ip Man -> Leung Ting -> Sifu Fernandez). In addition, Fernandez also excelled in other arts such as boxing, kick boxing, Greco-Roman wrestling, Doce Pares, Filipino escrima and various lineages of Wing Chun Kung Fu. Sifu Fernandez gives you detailed and realistic views on Wing Chun as an art and as a street fighting system. He breaks away from many myths, taboos and hocus pocus misinformation found in the art today. His broad-minded view on many fighting systems shows in the evolution of classical Wing Chun to WingTchunDo (which is a global application of the Wing Chun and Wing Tsun systems). WingTchunDo was officially founded in 2005.
