MASTER INSTRUCToR
Si-fu ERic ORam
“Modern Wing Chun is an invitation to apprenticeship in the practice of self defense, physics, and (eventual) practical miracles. My 20 years under the tutelage of Sifu Eric continues to enhance my formidability regarding martial arts, conflict resolution, and (equally) my work, family life, and community. If you read this book, you will grow and change. If you LIVE this book, the possibilities on and off ‘the mat’ are limitless.”
—Robert Downey, Jr.
“For all who are reading this book, not only is it a practical guide for modern Wing Chun Kung Fu in daily life, but it’s also a practical guide on life itself taken to a high level. What I mean by that is Si-Fu Oram conveys the mind-body spirit required for this martial art, while also discussing what I believe to be critical components of a healthy and successful life: discipline, focus, training, competition, feedback, critique, humility and confidence to name a few. I’ve had the great pleasure to train with Si-Fu Oram and witness these components first hand and it continues to shape my life for the better. Coming from the military, his lead by example persona and detailed instruction is world class. When you take the tenets of this book and apply them to your daily life, it’s the recipe for success.”

“What I teach is a sport, and it’s a good one… But what (Si-Fu Oram) just taught you is real fighting.”

“Si-Fu Oram is a huge reason I have fallen in sync with this system. He gives his full attention to training and always delivers concise answers to questions. He’s curated my training for maximum impact and the results are obvious. My reaction time is faster, my general health and stamina have climbed steadily, and my confidence has skyrocketed. It’s motivating to study with someone who embodies the principles of Wing Chun in their own life and has such an encyclopedic mastery of the system.”
