Amazing Instructor. If you want to learn Kung Fu that actually works, and exceptional, than this is your guy. If youve ever trained in martial arts you can tell he has an amazing amount of experience and knowledge. Anyone who finds this guy, finds a hidden gem and a true master. Good luck finding anything close. Thanks again for all the great knowladge and teachings Sifu !

All I know is Joel Olsteen would go to this school if he practiced Wing Chun..

I went here back in 2015, guy was a real hustler. I like how he advertised to me an hour and a half class...the first time he said we dont have enough time to start a new lesson so well end early. The second time he said were right about at that mark. After the first three classes it became the norm that class was an hour not a half hour, he just would rather advertise an hour and a half for twenty bucks instead of an hour. On top of that hed offer seminars once a month that would usually be half a Saturday and half a Sunday, at a whopping $150 or more on top of school fees. Seminars would be things like a kicking seminar since he didnt incorporate kicking at all in his classes. Another seminar was defense against take-downs which we wont even go there if we really wanted to start comparing BJJ and his seminar. By the way, no sparring offered at all yet he got offended if there is any type of belt system. Just a simple question yet most schools do some type of sparring regardless of their form, just not his I guess.

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 level. I find many martial artists who suffer the same malady. What Atlantic Warriors provides under sifu Petree is the blueprints and building blocks to get anyone to that advanced state. He provides a very in depth, step by step, approach to applicable self-defense and traditional kung-fu. It is the only school I have attended over the years which has done so. He provides those missing pieces which unlock our potential to truly apply all the knowledge of the martial arts into action. It is a rare thing to find these days, and I would encourage anyone to come in see for yourselves. See you there!

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 attention and authenticity are only a few reasons to attend Sifu Petrees classes. I am happy to see that Atlantic warriors is still thriving. If you have not taken the time to try out AW, you are doing yourself a disservice. I implore anyone who is looking to improve themself to take the leap. The science of self preservation is a tune we can all dance to.

I recommend Sifu Jonathan and his group. He is my sihing (kung fu big brother) under Sifu Bill Graves and is someone I look up to. You can be sure you will get very high quality training... some of the best in the world!

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 Sifus 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 Nim Tao. Practicing Wing Chun at home or even at work provides a great stress relief, calms the mind and allows me to relax. Since Sifu Petree has been training me in Wing Chun, I have been able to become a better father and husband.

Only place in Jacksonville to learn authentic Wing Chun. Dont waste your time anywhere else.

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 welcomed and you do not have to be in top shape to attend these classes! He is not only a master of Wing Chun but a master instructor/ teacher. He tailors his lessons to the students on a daily basis and wants his students to be successful. No expensive special equipment is necessary, such as the Gi or padding.I have 10 years in the military and about a year and a half of Wing Chun Kung Fu training at Atlantic Warriors but there is ALWAYS more to learn from his classes. I feel more confident about being able to defend myself as a female and more importantly, how to stay out of the shady situations. I have explored other forms and schools in martial arts but nothing comes close.

Try to get my kids and NEVER returned email or call. Guess my money is no good there
