But non-members can take the class. He teaches The Old form of Yang Style, symmetrical form in the class and there are several levels from beginning to advanced students. Small classes and personal attention. The teacher is well respected in the region as an expert. The downside is the class is only one day a week, now on Thursdays at 6:30 PM. They gym has limited hours but that does not effect the tai chi class.

Sifu has been teaching for some time. He has had various locations in the Hemet, San Jacinto area…read more When I was at his other location he has had multiple instructors of other styles training under him and promoting his own instructor level students. Sifu is certified in various styles even with a 6th degree in jui jitsu and has judged in the UFC. Currently the schedule is not finalized but the draft for the schedule is in place. Circuit training will likely be on Fridays. There is good cardio work in his Muay Thai classes as well. He also has a kali class which is teaching stick fighting. Right now adult classes start at 5pm. Kids would be 4pm. There are morning classes scheduled for given days. Schedule may change seeing the school just opened and he will adjust it according to the students. Classes right now are $80/month for 3-4 classes a week. The classes are typically an hour long each. It's a really good deal. He teaches himself. He doesnt have an assistant teaching his classes which seems to be common for other schools in town...

While I could only attend 1x/week for about 4 months, it profoundly impacted my understanding of Wing Chun and its application. From the first day, it was clear that this was in the Wong Shun Leung lineage. Sifu Gary has made it his own system, and there isn't any contradiction in the learning or application process. There is no belt system, but the system is clearly laid out and understandable. Progress was skill-based, not by frequency of attendance or amount of money paid. Your proficiency was determined when Sifu would observe you & tell you when it was time to learn the next thing. You also had the chance to learn from senior students, and everyone I worked with was generous in sharing knowledge. Gathering for Sifu's demonstrations & explanations was always so helpful to learn by observation and experience. Though it has been ages since I've attended as a student, I am greatly indebted to Sifu & his son for taking me in for the brief period I learned from the GLWC system. Excellent Wing Chun school & highly recommended! PS: Still waiting for a GLWC branch to open here in San Diego!

My wife and I want our kids to be involved in some type of sport or physical activity outside of daily school. My son had been a dedicated club soccer player for a few yrs but COVID put a damper on that so we were looking for something different he might like. I, personally, had always been a Bruce Lee fan and loved the art of Wing Chun but had never taken part in it. My son was 12 yrs old and had only done a little wrestling as far as self defense so I signed us up for a free week of classes. Usually a 12 yr old would be in the Youth classes but my son was allowed to train alongside me (46 yrs) in the adult classes with grown men and women. As soon as our first class was over he said, "Man, I can't wait to do this again!' He and I were hooked. We continued on for an entire yr together where we trained and fought alongside each other. I had no idea the impact it would have on him to see me (his own father) take my own ups n downs throughout the process of learning. He witnessed me get humbled many times during trainings (hard for a father to do/admit) but I knew I wanted him to see that I was willing to let him see me fail so he could also see me continue on and not give up. It took incredible discipline and dedication for us both but our bond and relationship as father and son took immense strides forward and watched my 12 yr old boy become an artist of Wing Chun during that time. He developed a love of the craft and discipline that Sifu-Don Presto and the many other coaches instilled in him along the way: Samba, Mike, Gabe, Charles, Jamere, Kevin, others. All great men with great character that held my son accountable but also gave him great praise and encouragement when earned. This was the longest my son and I had done anything together, how incredibly rewarding as a father. When I needed to take a break during summer, Sifu-Don offered my son a position as a coach for his Youth classes on Mon-Tues-Wed evenings. He was honored at the opportunity and jumped right in. Working with both, adults and young children (ages 6-12 yrs), men, women, girls, boys, has taught him so much as a young man and character development. Sifu-Don Presto and the staff of coaches at SoCal Wing Chun Academy (Murrieta) have made a life-changing impact on my son and I and have ignited a passion for the martial arts in him that I never saw coming. My wife and I are so incredibly thankful that we made this connection and hope other families may take advantage of such an opportunity. Stop by SoCal Wing Chun Academy today. -Tyler King
