I trained at Zen Wing Chun from February 27 to July 4, 2024, and I’m responding because the owner reply introduces claims and personal commentary that are not true and were never communicated to me at the time. In practice, advancement beyond very basic material functioned as pay-to-progress through paid “hung bao” ceremonies on top of $250 monthly tuition, with no written syllabus, no transparent skill-based criteria, and progression consistently following ceremonies rather than performance; training repeatedly cycled through extended interview-style talks, ritual bowing, long Yee Gee Kim Yeung Ma holds, and weeks of Pak Sau, then Pak Da, then Bong Sau–Lap Sau, with anything beyond requiring “respectful” payment (even amounts, “nothing below $20”). I trained four times per week across both Davie and Boca and personally observed students who attended less advance immediately after ceremonies, including a student undergoing chemotherapy who progressed right after a ceremony following months of struggle. From day one, students stated instructors discouraged outside learning and online material, directing questions to students instead of instructors; newer students were warned not to approach advanced students (told it meant “giving permission” to be handled), instructor hand-contact was limited to an inner circle or extra payment, partner work (including Poon Sau/rolling) was commonly delegated to senior students, and senior students were used to enforce hierarchy, pressure compliance, and normalize bowing and regular tea service, with hesitation affecting treatment and progression. The claim that I had an “active skin infection” is not true: I was never diagnosed, never informed of any such condition, never given a written policy, time-bound restriction, or clearance criteria, and this explanation only appeared later in a public response; the only issue ever raised was a mistaken mark from a fitness tracker, despite me already doing partner work. Claims of strict safety standards also conflict with the fact that children trained in the same classes and space as adults, with no separate youth structure or clear safeguards. I value tradition and asked basic technical questions about stance and mechanics, but frequently received vague or abstract responses, with “let them figure it out” functioning as a justification for lack of correction and structured instruction. The owner response’s personal remarks about my age, injury, and who paid tuition are inaccurate or irrelevant: I am currently 28 (not “in my thirties” as stated), and at the time was recovering from a known cervical injury; these details have no bearing on whether instruction was transparent or progression was pay-gated, and I also observed seriously ill students subject to the same structure. I was removed on July 4 immediately after asking whether advancement required additional payment and requesting to touch hands with an instructor, was told “I’m not your coach, I’m not your friend, and I’m not here to watch paint dry,” and no specific safety or conduct violation was explained; paid private lessons (~$100–$300/session) were positioned as the alternative, reinforcing a pattern where real instruction required more money. Since leaving, multiple students independently left as well citing similar issues with transparency, progression, access to instruction, and safety. My review reflects my firsthand experience and concerns transparency, access to instruction, and how questions were handled; documentation is available for due diligence.

I came across Kyle at a Wawa stop to get some air in my tires. I saw him wearing a garment which I haven’t seen before that reminded me of when I watched my favorite kung fu shows. I asked him about it and he told me about his knowledge and experience as a kung fu master. I have been offered many programs and trials from other trainers however I hadn’t resonated with them. I then felt led to bring my brother and I to his free trial course which is when I was filled with a sense of belonging it’s as if my body became a buzzing green light. The session was over way too soon and I see myself becoming a full fledged member. 👍

The Twins are highly skilled practioners that are specialized specifically in the wing chun kung fu system. Most martial arts school say they teach wing chun but they mix it with a bunch of other arts and arent true to the wing chun system. That makes it hard for most consumers to find a specialist in wing chun. there are TWO wing chun specialist right here in south florida. They have real skill from the ip man lineage. Many students tend to not be able to stay long in the school because theyre not patient and think its a cardio kickboxing class. this is totally different from any other martial art I have practiced. This is LEGIT! OLD SCHOOL wing chun training. the real deal if youre looking for ving tsun. consider yourself very lucky and blessed if they take you on as a student at their private academy

****ALERT The response that this company gave is absolutely false and my company records all phone calls and that response is an absolute falsehood!! Once I understood that they were not willing to "give info their schedule for class times!! ".... unless I paid $100 ....I realized that it was a scam.How can anyone register for something when they don't know what time it is!!! and have responsibilities such as work and children that has to come first. This is an absolute scam. Do not waste your time.

Do not waste your time this school does not support its local community and does not open its doors all who want to learn ..So I called this Kung Fu place to get information on their classes and if they offer adult classes and the gentleman who called back didn't give me his name when he called ....and told me that I would have to pay $100 just to hear what they have to say regarding the schedule and the format that they teach for the classes.He acted as if he was doing me a favor by returning my phone call. His attitude was one of condescending superiority as if he was better than me.And he mentioned that it is a private martial arts school and they don't accept just anyone.... people have to be interviewed in order to be accepted.It's no wonder that they have such negative reviews because they are not welcoming to the community that that supports them.. anyone who's looking for real kung fu probably would not benefit from going to this school because they reject people's inquiry into the art. Which is exactly the opposite of what people like Bruce Lee sacrificed their time and efforts to bring to this country which is an understanding of the art and an appreciation for it.Invest your money with people who actually appreciate The members of the community That they serve because if no one goes to classes then they're building and business closes and they need to remember that.
