The Leung Ting Wing Tsun System
Established in 2019, Palatine Wing Tsun uses the Leung Ting Wing Tsun™ system to teach students of all ages, genders, and backgrounds Kung Fu. Utilizing this method, as well as the philosophical ideas of Taoism and Buddhism, our students develop fighting skills, flexibility, balance, and dexterity, as well as self-confidence, coordination, and stress management techniques.
Through our comprehensive curriculum, our students develop the confidence and assertiveness to keep calm in high-pressure, real-life situations where quick decisions and reactions matter most. They learn how to de-escalate conflict and, if necessary, fight against opponents—especially opponents of larger or stronger stature.
We love what we do here, at Palatine Wing Tsun™, and are excited to share our passion with those who join us.

Student Grades
1-4
Student Grades
Fundamental Training
During the first four grades, students learn how to kick, punch, step, turn, and defend themselves against the most common forms of attack (punches, kicks, strangle holds).
5-8
Student Grades
Tactile Reflex Development
Chi Sau (translated as “sticky hands”) is covered in detail during these student grades. Chi-sau is a reflex exercise which teaches students how to use their opponent’s force against them with the least amount of effort.
9-12
Advanced Student Levels
In these advanced student levels, the practitioner is exposed to higher levels of chi-sau training and develops advanced fighting skills.
Student Grades
How We Train
During class, students engage in the following methods of training:
​
Forms
Build muscle, tendon, and ligament strength and help establish the foundation upon which students build their skills, accuracy, and precision.
​
Lat-Sau
A form of free-fighting training to help students learn and apply the core principles of Wing Tsun™.
​
Chi-Sau or "Sticky Hands"
Unique to Wing Tsun, Chi-Sau is vital to developing reflexes and muscle memory in order to use an attacker's own movements against them, naturally and without resistance.
​
Coordination and Reaction Drills
Test, enhance, and improve focus while building awareness, timing, and proficiency.
