One of the things that makes our school so great is the excellent attitude all the students have. They train hard but treat each other with friendliness and respect. Everyone has a good time. It really is a family.

We had full capacity tonight for the show. Thanks so much to Podmajersky and the Chicago Arts District, especially Cynthia West for making this a great night.

Demonstration Leaves Audience Saying, “Whoa”

Sifu Matt got the whole school involved in demonstrations of Ving Tsun’s practical no -nonsense self defense in front of a standing room only crowd tonight. Addressing the problem of a recent growing epidemic of violent attacks on individuals across the country, assaulted while using their cell phones, Sifu made clear that anyone can learn to use this system to keep themselves safe.

“Don’t wait until you’ve already been made a victim. Learn to defend yourself now. Learn to be more aware as you move though an urban environment now,” he said. “The VTSDA offers classes 5 days a week.”

Anyone can do to learn this. I’m here to teach you. Call us and set up your time to come and see for yourself. 773/301-6257

The segment on 190 North will air April 29th.

Check out this news story about a national epidemic of people being attacked while using their cell phones. 

First, Pay Attention

First of all, you can stop this from happening by not walking around blindly unaware of your surroundings while chatting or texting. This kind of behavior makes you a prime target for attacks. If you notice in the video, in each assault, the victim had their complete attention on their phones and were not noticing anything about what was going on around them. For a predator, this is the same as being the lame, lone animal on the edge of the herd alone and vulnerable. Those are the animals who are attacked by bigger, fiercer animals whose only job is to hunt out their prey. Doesn’t sound too nice, does it? Maybe we should all think twice about walking around with our phones out. Sorry Apple! Put your iPhone in your pocket.

Second, Be Prepared to FIght Effectively

Dealing with sucker punches and surprise attacks is what Ving Tsun is all about. The likelihood of being attacked by a trained fighter is pretty slim. Ving Tsun is simple, effective and direct. It can stop an attacker as soon as the assault begins. Ving Tsun is easy to learn and in fairly short order, you can have the basic skills that can help keep yourself safer. Call and make your appointment today at the VTSDA. Don’t wait until you have already become a victim!

Stay safe, everyone,

Sifu Matt
