Self-Defense - Adults Martial Arts</h2>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large; font-weight: normal;">Everything we do is about helping you become a human weapon. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Not a champion belt holder, form/dance expert or a time waster. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is not martial arts for competitions, point tournaments, or trophy collectors. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is martial arts that work in the real world, under real pressure from the nastiest of people.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The harsh realities of self-defense are not what you see on TV, in the UFC or what you imagine it may be like. Self-defense is filthy. Its dirty and there are no rules.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Here's the truth...</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">If you learn a sports-based martial art you will never truly know self-defense.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The sad reality is that most popular martial arts today are sports-based arts. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Why are today's most popular martial arts so poor for self-defense? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Self-defense based arts <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xxk7d6mM2bI" target="_blank">do not kick high</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As a two legged animal dependent upon stability and mobility, kicking high makes no sense. In self-defense, you must keep your feet as close to the ground as possible. Short, low kicks are much more effective for self-defense.</span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Self-defense arts do not roll around on the ground. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The ground is the last place you want to be in a self-defense situation. Going to the ground leaves you vulnerable to many things a rules-based sporting environment shelters you from including soft target gauging, biting, a second attacker, weapons and more. Instead, self-defense experts focus on keeping your feet on the ground, remaining mobile and controlling distance.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Self-defense arts do not bounce around in a ring looking to open up an opponent. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Bouncing around trying to get an opponent to open themselves up is purely competition-based. A self-defense situation is quick, unexpected and is never agreed upon. There is a tremendous difference between realistic self-defense and sports-based martial arts competitions. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Self-defense arts do not look to "knock out" their opponents. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Contrary to popular belief, trying to knock out someone by punching in the head is not the best or most efficient way to stop them. Going to soft-targets such as the eyes, throat or groin are entirely more efficient. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Self-defense arts do not "cover up" as part of their defense. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Covering up is too passive for a self-defense situation. It </span><span style="font-size: large;">takes you out of an offensive-based mindset. According to our research, covering up</span><span style="font-size: large;"> increases your chances of getting hit by 250% when compared to an attack-based defense. </span><span style="font-size: large;">Instead, defenses should be assertive in nature with an offensive-based mindset. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">However, <a href="http://www.wingchunirvine.com/p/orange-county.html">Wing Chun</a> is not a sport. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It was created for one thing... self-defense. And it does an incredible job at what it was created for. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It is not fancy. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Its not supposed look cool. Its supposed to actually work.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Wing Chun is direct, to the point and makes no apologies for its lack of frills or fanciness. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<h3 style="font-size: 3rem; line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;">
Wing Chun: Efficient Self-Defense for Adults</h3>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">The entire art of Wing Chun is all about efficiency.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes referred to as "Practical Kung Fu" or "Scientific Self-Defense," nothing is off limits in Wing Chun Kung Fu. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">It uses the hands, feet, shins, forearms, shoulders, head, knees, elbows and hips in a devastating self-defense system of trapping, forward pressure and fluidity to simultaneous attack and defend.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Through our award-winning Irvine<a href="http://www.wingchunirvine.com/p/martial-arts-classes.html">martial arts classes</a>, you will feel yourself begin to walk tall with increased calmness and focus, plus become more aware of your surroundings for real-world self-defense while improving your overall health. Instructor motivation and mental engagement will keep you enjoying it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: x-large;">Make no mistake, you will become a human weapon. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">You will learn the most efficient self-defense tactics utilizing every part of your body for a complete and total mind / body / soul transformation.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Self-Defense practitioners, real-world martial artists and close-quarters hand-to-hand combat experts agree, nothing compares to The Dragon Institute.</span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comIrvine, CA, USA33.6839473 -117.7946941999999833.4725503 -118.11741769999998 33.8953443 -117.47197069999999tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1310352396463205298.post-83849240577341272052016-09-27T07:42:00.001-07:002016-11-20T17:25:30.041-08:00Kids Kung Fu / Children's Martial Arts<center>

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Kids Wing Chun: Practical Self-Defense & Fun</b></span></div>
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Why Wing Chun for Kids? </span></b><br />
Unlike other martial arts, kids at The Dragon Institute don't learn a sport for competition or tournament. Wing Chun teaches kids specifically for practical self-defense application. The Chinese close-quarters fighting art of Wing Chun is known for its effectiveness in real world self-defense, not impractical moves, high kicks, rolling around on the ground or unrealistic acrobatics. Wing Chun is employed by the Chinese Army as well as hundreds of military, self-defense experts & law enforcement agencies around the world including the US Navy Seals, FBI, CIA, French RAID and German SEK.
Through our Kids Wing Chun classes, kids learn the science of self-defense, not a rule based sport. Sure they're kids, but we believe they need to learn <b>real self-defense</b> as soon as possible. The sooner they build functional muscle memory the more effective they will become.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>A Philosophy of Success</b></span><br />
Wing Chun is unlike other martial arts. It is more a life-philosophy of success than simply a martial art. Wing Chun's philosophy is simple, direct and practical. And that's why it is so effective. It doesn't spend time chasing fancy things. It teaches kids to focus on priorities and how to become efficient in all areas of their life.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">And Fun! </span></b><br />
Plus they have a lot of fun! Learning must be fun in order for kids to appreciate it. Although exceptions are made, we've found that age 5 or older is the ideal time to start.<br />
