Our Ving Tsun curriculum is based on three open hand forms, several two-person drills, and Chi Sao. The practice of these forms and exercises, as well as the study of the Ving Tsun principles, is the foundation of our training. Develop a foundation of proven martial arts principles, rather than simply memorizing techniques.
Through training, a student conditions their body to perform the most economical movements along the centerline. Ving Tsun Kung Fu is a martial arts training system rather than a fighting or fist style. Ving Tsun's unique training approach allows one to develop the ability to adapt to any situation quickly, instinctively, and relaxed.

There are many stories surrounding the history and origins of Ving Tsun (Wing Chun) Kung Fu. The legend that has been passed down in our lineage is that of the famous Ng Mui and her first student, Yim Ving Tsun. In the 17th century, the southern Shaolin temple was destroyed by authorities of the Qing government.
We offer authentic Ving Tsun (Wing Chun) Kung Fu and are proud to serve the Gaithersburg, Rockville, Germantown, and Washington, DC metro area. We first opened the doors of Montgomery County Kung Fu in 2010. At that time, we were located at a shared space in Germantown, Maryland.
In 2011, our head instructors and owners, Sifu Brad Schonhorst and Sifu Liz Schonhorst, decided that we should have our own space in order for the school, students, and Kung Fu to really grow.That year, we moved to the Kentlands community located in Gaithersburg, Maryland and have been operating out of our space there at, 420 Main St #200, Gaithersburg, MD 20878, ever since.

Learn the three empty hand forms of Ving Tsun (Wing Chun) Kung Fu - Siu Nim Tau, Chum Kiu & Biu Jee. Forms are used to condition the body and, through repetition, develop muscle memory so that Ving Tsun positions become more and more potent. Eventually, applying Ving Tsun turns into a reflex, allowing the student to react to a situation much quicker than if they have to think about what action is required.

Soon it will be three years that I keep going back to Montgomery County Kung Fu for training sessions they have throughout the week (you can see schedule here montgomerycountykungfu.c…). The benefits are too many to list here, physical, mental and spiritual, at the end its really about what you are looking for, and the Ving Tsun system has ability to provide all aspects, and specific ones that will fit you.
For me, personally, I was looking for martial arts that one can learn and apply in many situations, not just learn for a "what if" scenario, because there are thousands of scenarios that

I would highly recommend Ving Tsun to both seasoned martial artists and those who have never trained before. Sifu Brad is incredibly talented at working with each student at each of their individual levels. He provides the right levels of challenge and encouragement. The training environment is significantly different from regimens commonly encountered in Karate or Tae Kwon Do training, taking more of a community or even family approach. When I talk about my fellow classmates, I refer to them as my Kung Fu brothers and sisters.

I feel very fortunate to have found Sifu Brad at Montgomery County Kung Fu. Sifu Brad is focused on teaching authentic Ving Tsun (Wing Chun) Kung Fu as was passed down to him from his Sifu and so on. The training environment is relaxed yet structured so that students get quality training from the start of class to the end. Martial artists of all levels are welcome at this school and beginners with no experience will quickly learn practical self defense. The school is located in the Kentlands shopping center in Gaithersburg and is just a short drive from Rockville, North Potomac, and Germantown
