West Coast Wing Chun LLC supports independently operated schools aligned with the WCWC standard, providing structured curriculum guidance and instructor development rooted in the Ip Man Wing Chun tradition. The organization is led by Master Bryan Talbot, whose instruction emphasizes disciplined structure, clarity of curriculum, and principled preservation of traditional training.
Our focus is the refinement of structure, clarity of curriculum, instructor development, and the preservation of traditional principles through disciplined, methodical training.
Participation within the WCWC organization is selective and grounded in shared commitment to technical precision, character, and continuity of lineage. Aligned schools maintain their autonomy while upholding elevated standards of discipline, integrity, and long-term stewardship of the art.
We also work with independent instructors and organizations outside the WCWC network who seek deeper refinement and principled alignment with these standards.
Practitioners, instructors, and schools who are serious about disciplined training and long-term integrity are invited to inquire.

Wing Chun 詠春 Kung Fu is a martial arts system that originated in Southern China. A female nun, Ng Moi, created the art, and Grandmaster Ip Man later modified it when living in Hong Kong. Bruce Lee, a student of Grandmaster Ip Man and one of the world’s most recognized martial artists, popularized Wing Chun in the United States during the middle of the twentieth century. He used Wing Chun as the foundation of his particular fighting style and philosophy, Jeet Kuen Do.
More recently, the success of the Ip Man movies rekindled interest in Wing Chun across the world.
Wing Chun Kung Fu is a system of self-defense and empowerment based on Principles and Concepts that can be applied in both scopes. As a system of self-defense, the art makes use of scientific principles to overcome force of a bigger and stronger opponent. Additionally, it utilizes short-range power and sensitivity of touch, as seen through the use of Chi Sau or Sticky Hands.
The Core Principles of Wing Chun are Relaxation, Center-line, Economy, Facing and Yin/Yang. Great emphasis is placed on concepts of efficiency, structure, power, and speed. Wing Chun makes use of quick, changing angles, simultaneous attack and defense, agile footwork and low, practical kicks.
Wing Chun’s open hand forms are Siu Lim Tao (Little Idea Form), Chum Kiu (Seeking the Bridge Form), and Biu Gee (Thrusting Fingers Form). The Wing Chun weapons are the Luk Dim Boon Kwun (6 1/2 Point Long Pole), and the Baat Cham Do (Eight Cutting Knives). We also practice form on the Wing Chun Wooden Dummy.
Wing Chun’s traditional training equipment are the Wing Chun Wooden Dummy, Tripodal (Kicking) Dummy, and Wall Bag.
