About West County Wing Chun
West County Wing Chun is a traditional martial arts training center in St. Louis. They specialize in Ip Man Ving Tsun (Wing Chun), a martial art that focuses on discipline, relaxation, and fitness. The school emphasizes solid fundamentals for structure, energy, and self-defense applications. Sifu Dennis Moreland, the head instructor, is committed to preserving this ancient Chinese art. He is known for being an excellent teacher who provides students with functional self-defense skills and a deep understanding of Wing Chun. The school fosters a welcoming and supportive community atmosphere where students of all ages can learn and grow. Students appreciate the school's authentic approach, lack of ego, and emphasis on real-world fighting experience.
I had the pleasure of training privately with Sifu Dennis in escrima. Not only is he traditional, but blends different styles to make his students well rounded. What's most important about Dennis Moreland is he understands realities of violence and doesn't feed students a false sense of security in what he teaches. Students understand reality, risk, and repercussions of violence. Highly recommend.
Real Wing Chun, no McDojo here. Good relaxed, helpful atmosphere too
