This fall these 4 students are celebrated their Wing Chun Anniversary.
Bobby and Shannon each hit 1 year of training.
Jessica just hit her 2 years of training.
Mitchell has been training with us faithfully for 4 years!

We look forward to many more years of training and growing students in Applied Wing Chun.

Comment below with your congratulation to their dedication and conviction to Wing Chun Kung Fu.

Starting a Journey begins with a single step.

Over 10 years ago Ken Roberts, then already a 3rd degree black belt, began his training in Applied Wing Chun under Sifu Donald Presto.

In the fall of 2013, on an early Saturday morning Roberts' is practicing Chi Sao with his Si Dei Nathan. They spent many early mornings training on the beaches of Okinawa overlooking the East-China Sea.

We often don't know where our journey may start, or when it may end. But we're grateful for the journey itself.

Stop and Read this. You are chasing the starting line.

These are not your ranks.
These are not your markers of status.

They are milestones and check points along the path to the real beginning of your journey.

If you've been chasing the Black Belt, and think that's the end you missed the purpose.

Earning the black belt marks the beginning or your martial arts journey, not the end of it.

Is your martial arts taking you somewhere?

Are you becoming a better person?
Are you becoming more confident?
Are you feeling more emotionally balanced?
Do you feel a sense of safety and security?
Are you feeling more physically fit?

What ever martial arts you’re practicing be sure you know where it’s taking you.

Because if your practicing a style of martial arts it is changing you.
It is taking you somewhere.

We sit down with our students every 90days to ensure these questions always have answers, and they know where their martial arts journey is taking them.

Comment below with what your martial arts journey is doing for you!

Joining the ranks ..... and becoming part of the Kung Fu Family!

Congrats to Adam for earning his yellow sash AND his green shirt.

He earned it, and then broke it in with style. Nicely done Adam.

What's earned is more than just what can be worn, because what's earned runs deeper.

Join Adam and others like him learning Applied Wing Chun, and become something more. Be part of something more. Win the daily battles in your own life through Wing Chun Kung fu.

When this event is sold out, don't be the one left waiting and wanting.

Registration opens tonight at 7pm CST.

Progress isn't through seeking perfection....or waiting for perfection to happen.

It happens by working outside your comfort zone.

If you want to grow as a person you have to Stretch yourself.

That doesn't mean taking on too many things at once.
It means taking on tasks, goals, and opportunities that challenge you to become better than you were before.

Can't lose weight?
Can't increase your finances?
Struggling in your relationships?
Life getting you down?

You progress when you work outside your comfort zone.
Note the key word here ... "work."
Doing the work that needs to be done that's not easy, so you can grow and become better than you once were. That's where progress occurs.

You cannot just do it once.
You have to do it again, and again...so you can constantly become better.
So you can constantly grow as a person.

📣WARNING: Here's what every Parent Needs to know about martial arts.

If you're looking to get your child into martial arts for discipline.
➡️ You can get it with just about any style of martial art. But..

If you want your child to have a skill of self-defense that they can use their entire life ...not all martial arts styles are suitable.

Many styles today are so watered down into a Belt Factory to appease the reward system, the parents lose sight of their child's ability to actually defend themselves.

Many schools focus more on the sport of fighting, rather than actually applied skill for self-defense and fighting.

If you want your child to learn a martial art that they can actually use to defend themselves your choices are limited.

Share this message with someone thinking of putting their child into martial arts.

Congrats to Germysha on earning her Yellow Sash and green novice shirt.

Congrats to Shannon on her promotion to Orange sash. Hardworking pays off… and the journey continues.

No martial arts classes this evening.
SiFu Roberts is under the weather.

Great day promoting Joe to Green sash. Then rolling into free spar class, and his first intermediate class. Congrats Joe!

Exciting night promoting Bobby to orange sash.

5 of the Top Reasons why people don't take self-defense courses.

You learn to drive a car, so you don't hurt yourself. Because it's a necessity. At some point you will drive a car, so must learn and pass a test. It's a requirement, and a law.

Though at some point in your life you will experience violence, but nothing is required of you to learn how to protect yourself.

If you're a parent, your child will experience violence at some point in their life. Most will never know how to protect themselves.

Check out the article on why most will never learn self-defense.

Top 5 Reasons People Don't Take Self-Defense Courses Violence exist everywhere. It will happen in your life at some point. You can be prepared, or not. The choice is yours. Even Disney has a death in every film.

Want to learn Wing Chun Kung Fu but no schools near by?
The answer is closer than you think.

How did Wing Chun start in Southern Illinois? Wing Chun Kung Fu is what Bruce Lee learned from Grandmaster Ip Man. Wing Chun received popularity world-wide because of Bruce Lee, and recently over the past 15 years due to the popularity of Ip Man movies. But, how did Wing Chun Kung find its way to southern Illinois from China?

Congrats to Omar on earning his Green Sash!

"It's easy to say that not all martial arts are equal, and that is true. But there's a whole lot of variables in that simple statement. "

Sport vs Application When the first Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) occurred in November 1993 it was advertised as no rules, but in fact there were just three. The three rules were no biting, no eye gouging, and no groin shots. These were the same rules in the Ancient Greek sport of Pankration. Today in the UFC the...

Growth is inevitable. When you provide a place where diversity and equity are valued people are drawn to it.

At our Wing Chun school we start with values. Adults interested in learning Wing Chun schedule a meeting with our owner to discover why they want to learn, and why it’s important to them. If the person is of good values they are granted an trial membership where they enter our classes to learn and interact. After our two week trial if the student is a good fit for our school they are invited to join as a beginner student.

We grow our school by welcoming good people from all walks of life. Given the right environment all grow together physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially.

Does your school shape you to be a better person, or just teach you a skill?

At Gibborrim Academy of Martial Arts we teach applied wing Chun to make fitness be built from strong moral values. We teach self defense from Applied Wing Chun.

Interested in learning from us?
Message us today to learn how to schedule your discovery meeting.

Congrats to Lydia earning her yellow sash, and we welcome David receiving his beginner white sash.
