East West Wing Chun Kung Fu - Oakland 192 10th Street, Oakland, CA 94607

"I have been studying here on and off for 2+ years. Back on now! I love this studio! Sifu Jasan is the best. Great knowledge, skills and patience. The students range from beginners to the 3rd form advanced. Very cool to train here. I am proud and honored to be able to study here. Thanks Jasan!"

"I Love East West Wing Chun Oakland. You can’t find a better quality to value anywhere in the Bay Area. Jasan is patient, knowledgeable, and leads a fun and challenging class. You will learn, sweat and leave sore from each session... Respect is a big deal, but classes aren’t ruggedly traditional and army like. Jasan brings an old style into the modern age with fun music in the background and smiles permeating through the class! Classes are for adults only (young adults still in teens are accepted after evaluation). I highly recommend!"

"Best place to learn martial arts. Jasan is an excellent teacher. He is willing to work with all skill levels. The environment very relaxed and laid back making it conducive to learning. Also its relatively cheap. Have a college students budget. I have been coming here since 2013."

"This is a great school to learn Wing Chun and defensive fighting skills. I've been attending the school for almost 5 years now, and have been consistently growing and learning. Jasan, the instructor at the school, teaches traditional style Ip Man lineage Wing Chun and also includes practical applied drills for us to not only test our Wing Chun skills, but also to broaden our defensive and offensive techniques. There is plenty of open-hand practice (Wing Chun drills and chi sao), weapons training (pole, eskrima, knives, among others), and sparring. Jasan has taken a number of us to competitions, and we have brought back medals to show for our efforts. Jasan also brings in a variety of guests - masters, who add depth and breadth to our Wing Chun practice. On top of that, it's just the best bargain you will find in town. For a flat rate, you can attend any, or all, classes - there are 5 per week - as well as participate in 2 - 30 min conditioning classes per week (which will help your Wing Chun, and keep you fit for learning more. You WILL feel it the next day). Finally, you can't beat the atmosphere. The students are there to learn, but are fun to hang out with too. There is a great mix of backgrounds and ages, so everyone has a contribution to make and can easily fit in. While there is a healthy competition, a real kung fu brother/sister attitude quickly develops among peers. And the more senior students are always ready and willing to help out those who are just starting their Wing Chun journey. First lesson is free, too, so it's easy to give the school a try."

"This is the Best Martial Arts situation I have ever participated in, and I have been involved in various schools and clubs over the last 35 years. While this is a "School"; very serious about teaching Wing Chun in a traditional style, it functions more like a club-dues are inexpensive, you work-out at your own pace, you can take advantage of every class or just come once a week, and generally direct your own progress as to your own needs. At the same time, Jasan who runs the school and is the head instructor, brings in his own vast martial arts experience and can guide you towards sparring, tournament training, mixed martial arts, or whatever specific interests or needs you may have. There is also Eskrima offered one night a week, and between classes anyone can participate in a half hour workout/conditioning regimen that will kick your butt. Classes are very informal (we used to have Monday night football on TV!) and low-key, but if you want to take it up a notch, there is a coterie of advanced students there to train hard with. The prevalence of advanced and intermediate students (a testament to how cool this place actually is) is a real boon for beginners, who get quality instruction that will allow them to move forward in the discipline quickly. Jasan also arranges seminars with various outside martial arts Masters who come in and add their knowledge to what we are doing in class in a way that references and informs the Wing Chun cannon. I really must commend the way Jasan has nurtured, run the school, and approached the overall issues involved in keeping a school open and functioned for over 10 years...at great sacrifice of time and money on his part. East West Wing Chun is truly a labor of love for him, and this is reflected in the quality of the experience offered. Plus-no goofy uniforms that other Schools make you wear!"
