Master
your
Life
the Lineage of SiFu Ip Man
as taught to — and preserved by
SiFu Duncan Leung
梁紹鴻 師父
known as APPLIED WING CHUN
FROM THE 6000-YEAR-OLD CULTURE OF CHINA
A MARTIAL ART THAT USES WISDOM AND DEEP KNOWLEDGE OF THE HUMAN BODY
TO BUILD REFLEXES THAT REALLY WORK — EVEN AGAINST BIGGER OR STRONGER OPPONENTS — USING YOUR BONES AND BODY STRUCTURE AND THE PRINCIPLES OF PHYSICS, NOT JUST MUSCLES
THIS IS THE KUNG FU OF SIFU IP MAN
AS TAUGHT TO SIFU DUNCAN LEUNG
IN HONG KONG, AND PRESERVED IN THE SYSTEM OF
APPLIED WING CHUN
DISTINCTIVE ASPECTS OF APPLIED WING CHUN:
HITTING SOMEONE IS EASY — WHAT WE REALLY NEED TO LEARN IS HOW TO NOT GET HIT!
“BLOCKING” DOESN’T ACTUALLY WORK — TRAIN AND UNDERSTAND HOW TO “COVER”
COVER IS PROACTIVE: BLOCKING IS REACTIVE — APPLIED WING CHUN TEACHES AND TRAINS YOU TO COVER
BOTH LONG BRIDGE AND SHORT BRIDGE
EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE & UNLIKE ANYTHING YOU HAVE SEEN ELSEWHERE
SIMULTANEOUS ATTACK AND DEFENSE
ALL EIGHT WING CHUN KICKS — A WING CHUN KICK NEVER MISSES!
REAL TRADITIONAL CHINESE POWER-TRAINING INCLUDING IRON PALM TRAINING
THE INGENIOUS WOODEN MAN DUMMY 木人樁
My name is David Mathisen
I have trained in the Lineage of SiFu Duncan Leung since 1992
I grew up in the Bay Area and graduated from Aragon High School
and from the US Military Academy at West Point in the Class of 1991
I am also a graduate of the US Army’s Ranger School, Airborne School, Air Assault School, and the 82nd Airborne Division’s Jumpmaster School.
I was invited back to teach at West Point in the Department of English & Philosophy and in Infantry Combat Tactics
I AM DEDICATED TO HELPING MEN, WOMEN, AND TEENS BUILD CHARACTER AND CONFIDENCE, AND TO BECOME BETTER CITIZENS THROUGH AUTHENTIC, EFFECTIVE, TRADITIONAL KUNG FU
AND
I AM DEVOTED TO TEACHING THE PRINCIPLES OF
APPLIED WING CHUN
AS ACCURATELY AND EFFECTIVELY AS POSSIBLE
HOW MIGHT YOUR TEEN’S
LIFE
BE DIFFERENT IF HE OR SHE
KNEW
KUNG FU?
HOW MIGHT
YOURS?
