Welcome to the Massachusetts headquarters of the Wing Chun Kung Fu Council. ! Run by Sifu J. E. Fernández, personal student of Master Ron Heimberger. The academy offers true Ip Man Wing Chun through the lineage of Grandmaster Ip Ching and help preserve and teach Wing Chun as taught by the late Grandmaster Ip Man. Wing Chun is a subtle but devastatingly effective system of Chinese Kung Fu, well known for being the martial art studied by the late Bruce Lee and for being the fighting style featured in the blockbuster movie “Ip Man”. Wing Chun is specifically designed for the purpose of close combat and self-defense while also serving to improve health and fitness.

Wing Chun is an ideal self-protection and fighting system for people who are not naturally aggressive or physically dominant and is a perfect choice for both males and females wanting realistic self-defense skills. Brains not brawn are what give Wing Chun its effectiveness. At The Massachusetts Wing Chun Kung Fu Council we teach a complete self-protection plan covering the psychological and physical aspects of personal security: assertiveness, awareness, avoidance, escape and if physical assault is unavoidable, to hit first, hit hard, overwhelm, then escape. The academy operates out of a 5,400 sq. ft. facility in Holyoke, MA. And its instructor J. E. Fernández is certified by the Wing Chun Kung Fu Council’s board of standards and practices, through Master Heimberger and Grand Master Ip Ching.

The goal of our school is to expand the safe training and promotion of the Ip Man family Wing Chun

One who excels in defeating his enemies does not join issues.
One who excels in employing others humbles himself before them.
This is the virtue of non contention matching the sublimity of heaven.
By learning how to fight, you learn how not to fight.
When fear is removed, the arrogance of uncertainty is dispelled. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to prove yourself in any form of combat.

“Greet what arrives, escort what leaves and rush upon loss of contact” – Ip Man
