At Atlantic Warriors, students learn both the external and internal areas of Wing Chun. This method provides a holistic approach, and produces a more well-rounded practitioner of the art and system of Wing Chun. Yes, students will still learn the fast hands, and 1 punching power popularized by the late Bruce Lee as part of the Atlantic Warriors curriculum.
However, those areas are just the "tip of the iceberg". Come start your journey to explore the vast ocean and depths of understanding found in the concepts of this system. Eighteen years ago, after much study, trial, training, and necessity, Sifu Jonathan Petree founded Atlantic Warriors Wing Chun Gung Fu in Jacksonville, Florida.

I won't be able to express here just how amazing this Sifu and school are but I will say 5 stars feels just unreasonably low but its the most I could put.
I have been attending this school for around 6 months now. I take it with my 7-year-old son but it should be noted that the next youngest person in class right now is in their mid 30's -- this is not a kid's class, this is serious work but the Sifu is SOOOO good and flexible that it has worked amazingly well for both my son and myself.
Previously, over the last 32 years, I have undergone many disciplines of training including Tae Kwon Do, Tai

The structure and rootedness I gained in just a few months had a huge impact on my life. Coming from a less than favorable background, siu nim tao is where I go for sanctuary and exercise. If I still lived in the area I would be at class 3 times a week. In addition sifu petree is a man of impeccable character and I would recommend his tutelage to everyone, young and old.
It has been over 2 years since i reviewed Atlantic warriors and Longer than that since I have attended class (traveling for work). Still, i often find myself looking back on my short time there fondly. Small class sizes, individualized

I have been taking Wing Chun at Atlantic Warriors for several years now and would recommend this school to anyone who has a serious mind for martial arts. I have been learning and practicing marital arts since I was a child. Having moved around a lot early in life I was exposed to several different styles and schools. As a young adult I was even a junior black-belt instructor for a time. But over the years I began to notice that I was missing a big part of the training. There was a gap between my ability to apply basic fundamental self defense, and what I should have been ABLE to apply on an advanced

I have been training with Sifu Petree for a few years now and he has been an outstanding teacher. His patience and positive energy is what keeps me coming back. I have trained in a few different areas of martial arts and Wing Chun is easily the most efficient and effective method. I have found that the best part about Wing Chun is not the self defense aspect (although that is fantastic). Under Sifu's guidance, I have come to understand how to relax. This is especially important for me (a CPA with two little kids). Whenever work gets stressful, I do Siu Nim Tao. Kids are driving me crazy, I do Siu

I have been training with Sifu (master) Petree for about a year and a half and my expectations for martial arts training has been blown out of the water. He teaches Wing Chun Kung Fu and Eskrima courses every week.
Sifu Petree is a man of great character and the students in his classes are screened by him PERSONALLY to ensure the highest quality and most trustworthy students attend his classes, as this art is not a 'sport', per say. The classes not only teach you how to defend yourself and inevitably makes you become a better person all around. Note: Those with other martial arts backgrounds are
