Services
Wuxia Martial Arts Center is dedicated to preserving the Traditional Chinese Martial Art of Ving Tsun Kung Fu as passed down from Grandmaster Ip Man, Grandmaster Remy Presas's Filipino Martial Art of Modern Arnis, as well as promoting sport combat martial arts such as No Gi Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to provide students with a balanced approach to martial theories and practical applications of self defense.
The common legend as told by Ip Man involves the young woman Yim Wing Chun (Wing Chun literally means forever springtime or praising spring) at the time after the destruction of the Southern Shaolin and its associated temples by the Qing government. After Wing Chun rebuffs the local warlord's marriage offer, he says he'll rescind his proposal if she can beat him in a martial art match.
Our Instructors have spent many years devoted to training in the martial arts and have attained a certain level of expertise to qualify them as teachers and also mentors. Through extensive testing, certification and tournament level competition, our staff has attained mastery in this martial art and now enjoy sharing their skill and passing it on to their students.
Students and enthusiasts of martial arts have many reasons for their interest in the martial arts. Some are drawn to the physical fitness and weight-loss aspects of training. Others seek to add discipline and self control to their lives. While still others are concerned about safety and self-defense.
WUXIA MARTIAL ARTS CENTER will be adding photos of our instructors, students, events, belt tests and tournaments to this online photo gallery. If you have noteworthy photos to add this section, please e-mail them as an attachment to the Webmaster. Please contact us to get more information about how you can get involved with our programs, services and classes.

Wuxia Martial Arts is the quintessential training location for Ving Tsun (pronounced Wing Chun), Modern Arnis & No GI BJJ.
I have been a student of Wuxia Martial Arts for almost 5-years and during that time my skill level and confidence has improved exponentially. Under the expert training and guidance of the school’s owner and lead instructor Sifu Scott Tarbell, I have learned to respect others and respect myself. I have grown to understand what it means to be a martial artist and the responsibilities that go along with it. I have developed a love and appreciation for the art itself. I have

Wuxia offers expert instruction in a wide range of martial skills- striking, grappling, the use of weapons, and more. The head instructor, Scott Tarbell, has a background in education and teaches in an incisive and patient manner. He very much plays the part of the encouraging coach rather than the stern master, and is genuinely interested in the progression of each student, no matter their experience. The school has a supportive, family-like atmosphere. Although the classes are fun and friendly, the training is quite serious and practical. It is hard to find teaching of this quality anywhere,
