Why Train with Sifu Perry
Sifu Dewie Perry’s teaching methodology stands out through his focus on unaltered tradition, elite lineage preservation, and highly structural, peer-to-peer training dynamics. His approach to Kung Fu rejects modern "watered-down" blends in favor of highly concentrated, real-world application.
The primary pillars that make Sifu Perry’s Wing Chun instruction unique include:
Certified Preservation of the Ip Man Lineage
• Authentic Certification: He is officially certified through the Ving Tsun Athletic Association (VTAA) in Hong Kong, the original organization established to protect Grandmaster Ip Man's legacy.
• Closed-Door Disciple: Sifu Perry is a third-generation practitioner and a closed-door disciple of Grandmaster Samuel Kwok. This guarantees that students learn the complete, unaltered system without shortcuts.
The "3 P's" Instructional Philosophy
• Core Formula: His 30+ years of teaching martial arts are built on a strict mechanical philosophy: 1. Proper technique, 2. Proper execution, and 3. Practice.
• Deflection over Collision: His classes stress the fundamental principle to "deflect, feed, and control—do not fight," training students to completely bypass an opponent's brute strength using geometry and center-line physics.
Co-Mingled Studio Environment
• Side-by-Side Training: Unlike schools that strictly separate classes by rank, Sifu Perry's Kwoon runs a single focused class where complete beginners and advanced students train together.
• Dynamic Skill Building: This shared environment allows new students to feel correct tactile feedback from senior practitioners immediately, accelerating their confidence and positioning.
• Strict Class Caps: Instruction takes place inside a private studio with a strict 10-student limit per class to ensure personalized mentorship and microscopic technical adjustments.
Class Schedule: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 7pm - 8pm
