This is an amazing school! I live in Liberty Hill, and I joined just to try and get some exercise and lose weight. After three weeks, I was completely hooked. My two adult sons have done: MMA, Brazilian Ju Jitsu, Karate, etc. and their classes always looked pretty boring to me, just nonstop kicking and punching. Moy Tung is not that. It's a very complex and interesting system. I can't say enough good things about the instructors: Nic and BeeBee. They are so encouraging and enthusiastic and helpful. They go out of their way to break down and explain the techniques. They are very talented and patient teachers. This Moy Tung Kung Fu Academy is a very inclusive and welcoming place to train. You don't have to spend years trying to earn your way into a click or the inner circle. I have been doing it for 4 months now, and I have become so much healthier and stronger, both physically and mentally. read more

I am new to Kung Fu, and have been curious for years about the impact this discipline would bring to my daily life. It has been a challenging and rewarding journey. The staff is dedicated, exact, and caring. Yes, they push you to get it right. For me at age 64, I'm glad I finally found a place where they love their craft, it shows. I am getting stronger, more at peace, and now look forward to what I can learn. I hope I never have to employ these moves, but I will be prepared if this day come.

I enjoy going to this school. I wanted to pick up a hobby for being more active, that I don't want to miss and keep going for more. I am glad I chose this school. My Sifu and my fellow students here are amazing. I have been going for a few months, I can see myself progressing and getting stronger! read more

I cannot say enough great things about this place! Firstly, both teachers are amazing people, skilled, patient, kind, and very knowledgeable. Secondly, the atmosphere is friendly, welcoming, fun, and full of positivity. I love how the woman are separate from men, there are no unnecessary distractions that often come along with mixing men and women. Lastly, I absolutely love every technique I've learned thus far! It's awesome how certain things can seem so futile and be so incredibly significant. I am excited to walk through those doors and learn more everyday! This class is a MUST try without doubt!

I study under Sifu Nic at the Georgetown studio, and I love it. I highly recommend the Moy Tung schools. Great people, practical knowledge and real attribute building. read more

I really enjoyed the classes, very positive environment. I really learned a lot, not only from the instructor but my classmates as well. Highly recommended. read more

I've wanted to learn a martial art for close to 40 years. I could not be more pleased with the atmosphere, convenience of location and class times and most important the instruction from Sifu and Simo. Class size and diversity of students is another big plus. read more

Horrible place for a woman. The quality of instruction might be decent, but it's not a good environment for women. It's the only martial arts place I've studied with where men and women are segregated. I thought that was odd, but it wasn't an issue for me. However, I was treated horribly on the basis of my gender. In retrospect, maybe I should have seen the segregation of genders as a red flag. I am still too angry about how I was treated to go into detail. I will update my review with specific information when I am less upset. For now, I would simply like to offer a warning to women: You will not be respected there. The person who was most disrespectful, hurtful and sexist was actually a woman. There was no confusion. She made it clear that women are less than men in their eyes. read more

This one's for the ladies! Like countless others, I was introduced to Wing Chun (Ving Tsun) by the Ip Man movies. I had become an ardent fan of martial arts movies from China, Korea, Thailand, Indonesia and more. While I love the beauty of the movie fights, I'd never considered martial arts for myself. I felt too old and out of shape. I had never been athletic. Another Kung Fu buzzkill was that so many schools seemed overrun with kids, rowdy and loud. My own kids have taken martial arts and I'm glad they did, but I yearned for something less competitive and less belt-driven. My doctor told me to get daily exercise. Any kind. I didn't know if I was a candidate for Wing Chun or if Wing Chun was "exercise." I decided it didn't matter. I wanted to try it. It's a beautiful art with a rich history. Moy Tung Kung Fu Family appealed to me because they offered an introduction for a small fee. The classes in the morning are women only. I liked that also. I decided to get out of bed early and finally go with, "What have I got to lose?" I met Simo BeeBee Hu at 6:30am. We went immediately into basic form instruction. Moy Tung Kung Fu is unassuming and welcoming. I felt a call of immediate quiet and reflection while trying the form and hand positions. Practice felt like a meditative focus. It was surprisingly satisfying and top notch. I joined the program. I know that what I've experienced in a short amount of time will grow exponentially with continued practice and commitment. Funny thing: I have more energy. I practice my forms at home. I read up on the facts and legends. I practice my hand positions. There are already key takeaways that I apply in life. Simo BeeBee Hu is a quiet force. She is an excellent teacher. I highly recommend the women's program at Moy Tung Kung Fu Family in Georgetown and have every reason to believe that Sifu Nic Bartell's program for men in Georgetown and Austin are also of the highest caliber. And yes - I'm getting exercise. I can always feel what I practiced the next day in my arms, legs and core. I'm very lucky I found Moy Tung. read more

See all

An Awesome school and community for this seriously interested to learn authentic Kung Fu and specifically Ving Tsun or Wing Chun . For adults only shows the seriousness of the level of class. Sifu Nic comes from a great lineage including Yip Man who taught Bruce Lee , Moy Fat and many other good Martial artists. Sifu Mic teaches all his own classes unless for some rare reason he cannot be there and a very capable replacement is found. Sifu not only knows his Wing Chun very well, he has a great ability to teach each student where they are at in their level of training and bring them to as high a level the student is willing to commit to attain. The fellow students i have met are awesome and respectful and we foster a very dedicated atmosphere for each student to truly learn this special Art if they so desire. Sifu has mastered the amazing ability to not only work with students in the training facility ( almost like one is having a one on one session but for the price of a group class--- great deal) as well as students online from home or other places where individuals or small groups tune in to learn and practice along with the students in the training facilities ( Houston and Georgetown). I don't know how he does it, and so well! I also like how blends and integrates in a balanced way the physical conditioning as part of the Martial arts training! One is practicing skills while getting physical conditioning. There is also a wholesome amount of application of skills learned so it can all be honed over time and be used in real situations if ever needed. We are very fortunate to have serious minded teachers and place to really learn and train in this very authentic and effective Kung Fu of Ving Tsun / Wing Chun. It would likely be a good idea to give this school a good visit before looking at other schools. Hope to see you soon, don't let Covid get in way of your taking care of your well being. read more

Back story: 40 yrs. old, starting a new single life, I needed to make some changes. Self-inspection and a desire to grow personally led me to try new things I'd only dreamed of doing. I was looking for something that would add to the value of what I was already doing for myself when I came across this 6-week challenge. Hmmm...challenge myself, learn a new skill set, train, work out, and defend myself? Why not! Bring it on. I've been going here for 3 weeks now and I am beyond thrilled by the results so far. Not just with the toning, the structure, and the response in my core. But, the overall feeling of growth to my well-being and self-confidence, I am a true believer of what can be accomplished in such a short time. But, most of all, the care and attention given by this establishment/owners/instructors is beyond comparable. I truly love what I am doing, and I am excited to see what the next 3 weeks will be for me. ***Not a paid advertisement*** I am real, this is true, and I love this place so much. It has become one of my "happy places" to unwind and let go of life's everyday tension and stresses. I recommend this to anyone looking for a change in their life. It's totally worth every dollar, minute, and energy spent. read more

The discipline, commitment and compassion that Sifu Nic Bartell and Simo BeeBee Hu bring to the their teaching of Kung Fu is inspiring. Both of them will help you learn how to learn: when to reflect, when to ask questions, when to try things out with your hands, when to push on, when to take a break, etc, and all of this will happen while you are learning the Kung Fu. If you are looking for the real deal, you've found it here! read more

When I first got to the Academy I was doubtful but after doing the training I am totally blown away by it. The staff is amazing and friendly, extremely helpful and detailed. The training is practical, and they go at your pace. It's everything you would want in a Martial Arts Academy. read more

I am 46 and have been wanting to learn kung fu most of my adult life, but found most martial arts facilities too commercialized. This has been everything I have been looking for. No belts or showy forms. Just straight kung fu and self defense for the most reasonable prices I have ever seen. You will love it here! read more

The knowledge, patience and teaching abilities of Sifu and Simu are fantastic. If you want learn real Kung Fu and develop greater confidence and more self assurance then look no further. In my opinion the focus at the Muy Tung Kung Fu Academy is for the student to learn Kung Fu and to be able to effectively apply self defense. This is not a belt producing academy; it is an true training academy. read more

The instructors at the school are dedicated to their students and to their own personal training. The school is a major asset to the Georgetown community. I highly recommend this school! read more

Upon entering the Moy Tung Ving Tsun school, one is greeted by a spartan environment, devoid of ornamentation, but a couple of punchbags, the Jong training dummy, and a shrine to the lineage of VT. Anything else is unnecessary and would detract from the school's central mission: to make authentic VT, as taught using the methods handed down by the late Grandmaster Moy Yat, as accessible as possible. In pursuit of this purpose the school mirrors the simple, effective nature of VT itself. In these times where the spectacle, hyperbole, and hubris of UFC/MMA dominates the public zeitgeist, it seems just about every "martial arts instructor" is cashing in on this popularity and opening up shop. Regrettably, with a few exceptions, many of these "self proclaimed masters" have more financial ambition than integrity, and certainly more mouth than talent or skill. When discerning whether one is gaining effective instruction in practical martial arts, authentic lineage therefore carries more significance than ever. It is the mark of authenticity of the kung fu practised within these walls, as passed down through the generations from Sifu to student. The Georgetown VT lineage: ... Yip Man - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yi... * Moy Yat - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mo... (Moy Tung Clan) * Grandmaster Anthony "Moy Tung" Dandridge - houston.txkungfu.com/the... * Sigong Aaron "Moy 10 Tung" Vyvial - houston.txkungfu.com/the... * Sifu Nic Bartell (Georgetown) Sifu Bartell began studying Tae Kwon Do at age ten. After moving to Houston in his teens, Sifu Bartell explored other martial arts, including JKD, Muay Thai, and Jujitsu. Left with a sense of incompleteness and knowing the roots of JKD were deeply tied to Ving Tsun, Sifu Bartell investigated the relationship between the two styles in hopes of obtaining a more comprehensive understanding of what he had learned training JKD. In early 2002, while attending University of Texas at Austin, Sifu Bartell was opened up to the VT system by Sifu Aaron "Moy 10 Tung" Vyvial. Very quickly Sifu Bartell recognized the potency of VT and the inadequacies of his previous training. He therefore, dedicated all his martial art training to VT, becoming one of Sifu Vyvial's earliest indoor students. Studying in a constant, focused manner as a special student under Sifu Vyvial and a grand special student under Sigong Moy Tung, Sifu Bartell became the first certified Sifu in the Moy 10 Tung clan. From my experience, Sifu Bartell is a man of the rarest integrity, whom truly practises what he preaches whilst living the "kung fu life". His dedication to all aspects of life matches the pure intensity of his pursuit for the mastery of VT. This encompasses his work, family, and dedication to his students. Sifu Bartell is also a humble man. Whilst his kung fu is truly formidable, he does not proclaim to be the source of all knowledge, but freely provides access to other sources. He therefore actively encourages students to travel and "touch hands" with other students. The school operates a two year programme, during which, it provides unlimited lessons 3-times a week, for up to two hours each lesson (equating to around approx 600 hours of instruction). This provides a fantastic foundation in kung fu, and more than enough for most individuals to effectively defend themselves in most situations they could reasonably find themselves in. Students learn VT in the traditional way, touching hands with older students (Sihings), with Sifu providing guidance/correction as needed. We operate a controlled environment practising the Sihing/Sidai relationship to ensure the safety of students. i.e. students practise particular exercises until proficient/conditioned mitigating the risk of injury, before advancing to the next exercise. As VT is based upon physics and body mechanics, beginners are taught to not use strength, but to continually strive in their endeavour to perfect technique. This improves effective application of force, magnifying the potency of one's strike, which is in stark contrast to other "sparring based training" which may attempt to make up for lack of understanding with over-enthusiasm. In this sense, VT is particularly well suited to women and individuals of smaller stature. Beyond the Two Years, students are provided the opportunity to develop a deeper mastery of VT, the study of which can last a lifetime... I am genuinely amazed at what I have learned in my three years training, and intend to pursue VT as a lifelong endeavour. Please note, to ensure the safety of both students and the public, the school does not allow "walk-ins" off the street, without first undertaking an introduction class (so please have the good courtesy to call Sifu Bartell in advance if you intend to stop by). read more

This school has helped me mostly in other areas of my life through more confidence, but is also teaching me a new skill set. The instructors are very helpful and knowledgeable. For good exercise and a good time you need to check it out. read more

I was looking for a different type of workout, and this place has been great! Nic, has a lot a patience and clearly spends a lot of time thinking about how to teach his students. He also pays attention to the little details that help you develop a solid foundation to build from. I've never taken any type of martial arts class before, but I have felt comfortable and welcome here since day 1. read more

Totally awesome kungfu school. The level of dedication and intensity that the teachers exhibit is inspiring. I recommend it!

The classes don't waste any of your time. You start training as soon as you walk in and don't stop until you walk out. The Sifu spends time with each individual student in each class. You learn as fast or as slow as you can - But you learn something every day. read more
