Wing Chun in Minneapolis?

[Robin]

Hi,

I recently moved to Minneapolis area and was wandering if anyone knows of someone teaching Wing Chun in Minneapolis or the western suburbs? I moved out here on August 1st and disappointingly enough, I found that a Wing Chun school located in Minneapolis just closed down (see: http://home.mn.rr.com/wingchun/).

Does anyone know where I can pick up Wing Chun in that area? My skill isn't that high that a specific lineage is important to me. I'd like to attend lessons in a relaxed and learning atmosphere. I prefer "classical" Wing Chun; JKD or other mixed arts aren't my thing.

Thanks for all the help you can provide!

I found this link, but I don't know anything about it.

Thank you. It's actually the same school which is now closed down.

I'll look around for you but the Chinese arts arn't well represented here.

Ok, not Wing Chun but at least it's a chinese art. I've driven past it but never checked it out myself. It's in Blaine, which is north east of Minneapolis

Here's a Mantis Kung Fu school... but it's in Maplewood which is an eastern suburb of St Paul

Thank for your replies, niel0092. You did manage to dig up a lot more than I did.

I did finally find a Wing Chun school but haven't attended it, yet. They're off for a summer vacation. It's a relatively new school which is fine by me, as long as it's Wing Chun. It's not really in the west suburbs, rather in Minneapolist, but I hope the commute will be worth it. By the way, the trick to finding this school was to spell Wing Chun as Ving Tsun.

If anyone's interested, here's the website: http://www.kungfumn.com/. There seems to be some web issues now and again so if you're interested, the school can be contacted at (612) 379-1250.

I hope someone finds this info useful.

Thanks,

No problem, glad I could help. I also remember that there was a Vo Lam Kung Fu club at the UofM while I was there. You could try that as well.

When you do find a school let us know how it goes.

Here is a link to an Emin Boztepe school in your area.
