They offer a free week of training to anyone regardless of experience, both of which is rare; it's rare for that length of time and it's only offered to new people. On top of that, the Open Mats on Saturday are free to all. An interesting quirk here is that the classes aren't divided into Gi/No-Gi classes. Miguel's approach is that everyone should be proficient in both so there's a weekly rotation between Gi and No-Gi which goes towards being well-rounded. I usually stick with Gi classes but by coming here I couldn't 'hide out' in my pajamas. What's more I know for a fact that Professor Miguel has always been willing to help out his students life situation he'll find a way to keep his students training.

We are so grateful and highly recommend this school!

We are all enjoying the classes and how precise and accurate Master Jung is in his teaching. He breaks down the moves, explains them, and lets us repeat enough times so our body learns how to move, kick, etc fluently, quickly, and correctly. He checks and corrects each student. At the same time, each class is very different from the other, so we get to experience varied moves and then put them together. This makes classes fun and interesting for both kids and adults. We are very blessed to have Master Jung teach - his classes are well worth our investment, as we are both learning and improving rapidly! If you are looking for a real dojang - look no further!

Every time I attend a class is like adding another frame in my own 'preparing to face the ultimate bad guy' montage for my personal kung fu movie. I've been studying there for almost 8 years, and have seen the changes in both my mind and my body. They don't come over night and it does take a lot of hard work and determination, but on those rare instances when a cup of coffee inadvertently slides off the table and onto your lighting fast hands, it fills you with surprise and pride in yourself, leaving you wanting more. Sifu and Simo Vyvial have been very good to me. They are kind, supportive, and patient, but by no means are they the easiest instructors. While VT strives to find your physical weaknesses, Sifu and Simo will find your mental ones. The system and the instructors will work tirelessly to heal and strengthen you for as long as you let them. There will be times when it gets really difficult...really difficult. But more often there are days when you can ask yourself "How did I just throw 10,000 punches?" I actually have no idea how I accomplished that...I just did it. The system they teach is transformative in a way because in addition to growing your strength and agility, it also hardens your resolve as well. And I think that's why I love this school so much.

In my lifetime, I have done many things. I've played soccer and lacrosse and run track events. I've…read morestudied different styles of martial arts, ranging from boxing to traditional jujutsu. I have never found anything as rewarding and powerful as the Ving Tsun Kung Fu taught at Moy Yat Kung Fu Academy. When I walked through the door two years ago, I was as close to broken physically and emotionally as I had ever been in my life. I had been through a big medical crisis, had my depression, anxiety and ADHD were through the roof. On top of it, I was drinking a lot and my cigarette smoking was at an all time high. From the minute that I walked in, I could tell that I was in a place that was very carefully kept and deliberately arranged. Everything about it was cultivated, from the placement of the resting benches to the wooden dummies standing by the doors. The instructor who was there for my introduction lesson was informed, kind and was able to push me beyond the what I thought myself capable of. Over the last two years since then, I've been training alongside some of the most wonderful people in Austin. The teacher at the school, whom we call "Sifu", which is Cantonese for "teacher", is very involved in the growth and development of every student, but has a teaching style that is more about inspiration and leading from behind than over-teaching. More often than not, we are helped to discover things on our own and figure them out, rather than simply going through rote drill after rote drill. Sifu does not have an assembly line: while every student of his is recognisably his student, everyone's Kung Fu is very different depending on their personalities, bodies, etc. To me, this is the sign of a master teacher. He has passed on Kung Fu while completely maximising the natural capabilities and advantages of each student. These days, I'm stronger than I ever have been in the past. I'm not on knee braces any more. I've quit drinking. I don't smoke any more. The calm that I've found from the training has helped me not need the medications I was taking for depression, anxiety and ADHD. I am in every way a much stronger person than I was when I first walked in. Kung Fu is generous to you. There are some things that give you exactly back what you put into it, a linear, 1:1 ratio of reward to effort. Kung Fu's reward structure is logarithmic. You will get far more of out of it than you put into it for the first several years, with it slowly tapering off as you get to the decade mark. I cannot enough stress what a wonderful place this is and how much what I've learned here has made my life better. Walk in. Take a lesson. You won't be disappointed.
