...I have a student who's originally from San Antonio, Texas. He and his fiancee came here to Brooklyn, NY a few years ago - but have decided to go back to San Antonio - and he's interested in continuing with wing chun.
But there's no TWC schools in Texas.
What about HFY? Or other wing chun systems?
Any schools in or around San Antonio?

I'm in El Paso. But Texas is a big state and that's quite a distance!

I'm in the Rio Grande Valley, about 4 hours south of San Antonio. I'm certified under the Samuel Kwok Wing Chun Martial Arts Association to teach. I teach privately only for now.
The area is the McAllen, Mission area.

Hello,
Master Samuel Kwok has a certified instructor in Mission, Texas.
He is my kung fu brother and I can attest to his abilities and his passion for the art of Wing Chun. Regardless of lineage, I would at least evaluate those in your surroundings then make the decision.....
He can be reached at rgvwingchun@yahoo.com......

Hello Victor,
Mission, Texas is about 3 hours south of San Antonio....and just before you get to the Mexican border.....

In San Antonio:
LT WT on Austin Hwy.
EBMAS on Broadway.
Both are the same basic stuff as far as core movements go...but you'd have a better chance at learning to fight and being in better shape for it at the Boztepe place.
There may be a couple of transients too...but those (like myself) are probably cross-trainers and don't specialize in it any longer.
"I don't know if anyone is known with the art of "sitting on your couch" here, but in my eyes it is also to be a martial art.
It is the art of avoiding dangerous situations. It helps you to avoid a dangerous situation by not actually being there. So lets say there is a dangerous situation going on somewhere other than your couch. You are safely seated on your couch so you have in a nutshell "difused" the situation."

He came from the LT group on austin hwy--my understanding is that he doesn't do straight wing tsun anymore--but more of a composite style now.
I don't remember if he was an older brother of Parker's, or Parker's student though....

I have a student named Moses Flores, who was just certified by my Sifu, Master Samuel Kwok. We are under the Ip Man - Ip Ching - Samuel Kwok lineage.
His contact info was listed in an earlier post here. I will be visiting his group sometime in April or May for a seminar. If you are interested in Ip Man lineage Wing Chun contact Moses about attending the seminar. We are currently looking for instructors who are interested in becoming certified under the Traditional Ip Man Wing Chun Association. If you have an interest contact us.

Master Tony Massengill (certified through the Samuel Kwok Wing Chun Martial Arts Association and recognized master instructor VTAA) will be hosting his first ever Wing Chun seminar in the Lone Star state of Texas!!! Master Massengill is also the co-author with Master Samuel Kwok of the new book and DVD series "Mastering Wing Chun: The Keys to Ip Mans Kung Fu".
The date will be Saturday May 10,2008. The location will be in Mission, TX which is in DEEP SOUTH TEXAS at the Sharyland Bantworth park...this is the kind of place where all the stories you’ve heard of Texas are TRUE!!! Bigger food, bigger drinks....EVERYTHING IS BIGGER IN TEXAS even the comradery.
If anybody is interested in attending the seminar feel free to contact me at RGVWINGCHUN@yahoo.com.
Seminar fees are only $50. Books and DVD's covering the empty hand forms will be available as well.
Master Massengill also has some slot time available for private instruction. As a senior Rep. for the Traditional Ip Man Wing Chun Martial Arts Assocation, Master Massengilll along with his sifu, Master Samuel Kwok, are always looking for people who are interested in spreading the Ip Family Traditions. No one knows them like Master Samuel Kwok who has had the privilege of training with the Ip family since 1978 being a disciple of Ip Chun and then becoming a disciple of Ip ching in 1994. Master Kwok has the best of both worlds and more and is graciously passing on that knowledge to his disciple, Master Tony Massengill and on to me as well. If you are looking to be a part of this, this is a chance to learn and inquire. You can email him at sifu@massmartialarts.com for more info on instructorship and private training.
If traveling from out of town, the closest airport would be McAllen (MFE) or in Harlingen (???).
God bless and train hard,
