Ive trained in martial arts since I was 8 for self defense. Life started to get busy after high school and havent had time to get back into it till October of 2020. Thats when I meet sifu Swift. His class in very engaging and teach practical skills with traditional ones. He not only teaches you how to defend yourself, but also how each movement is used. There are so many different combinations that it will probably take you several decades before you will master them like sifu Swift did. He knows the art very well and learned from some of the best sifu in China. Come and join us and see for yourself. Its a fun and friendly atmosphere. No bullies and everyone helps each other advance/learn the art. You dont want to miss out on the opportunity. Let him know Long sent you.

Sifu Swift is it. When I told a 30 practitioner of another discipline that I was going to be studying under Sifu Swift he simply leaned back, took a long breath, emailed and said ahhh, the good stuff.

Grandmaster Steve is knowledgeable, professional, and dedicated to teaching Wing Chun. I have an 8 year old in his kids classes, and he works well with kids. This is not a trophy for all class, he wants to teach them correctly and takes care to patiently, make sure each individual child gets the moves right.

Sifu Swift is probably the best Martial Arts instructor I have trained under. His skill, knowledge and commitment to Wing Chun is impressive. If you are looking for serious martial arts training or just want to get into shape, I highly recommend joining this school!

Since the age of 8, I’ve studied a variety of martial arts. With over 40-years of experience, Grand Master Swift teaches authentic Wing Chun Kung Fu, that prepare serious students for a variety of real world self-defense situations against multiple attackers. From experience, I’ve found Grand Master swift to be extremely patient, thorough, articulate and passionate with his instruction. Most importantly, Grand Master Swift is a good man. Consequently, I’ve found the students that he attract tend to also be good men. I highly recommend Grand Master Swift if it’s your desire to master the art of Wing Chun.

Sifu Swift conveys and expresses Wing Chun in a progressive and fluid way that really translates in response to real life practical application.Nothing is left unsaid. Nothing is wasted. And nothing is embellished.First session I was clueless. I was all knees and elbows. By session 6 I was doing what it would take traditional practices months to even start learning.Sifu Swift has streamlined the entire process in an easily learn able and adaptable sense.Thank you Sifu Swift! To many years of leaning from you!

Dont pass this place up!! Let me tell you of my recent trip here, first of all, Steve Lee Swift who is now my SIFU is truly legendary with Wing Chun. He is the real deal and I have never seen anybody as fast as him and Ive seen a lot of Wing Chun teachers on YouTube and online but he is by far the best Ive come across.He is very patient and a amazing teacher! Ive been searching for about 10 years for a real Wing Chun school and teacher and happened to come across this website, and after seeing SIFUs credentials and photos that he received while living in China and his other locations it showed me he was the real deal but also seeing him in action really set it in concrete, on top of that his students are also patient and willing to help you learn! He is great with his kid classes that he offers! Since I was new I attended them also. To sum this up I live in Alabama and Im traveling every other month to train with SIFU and all his students, so just know that I could travel any where but Im choosing here and you now know the reason for that! He learned from IP mans sons and his top students! You should definantly check him out for yourself!! Also best hospitality I have ever received! Thank you all so much!

Upon meeting Mastor/Sifu Swift, he was polite & greet us very nicely. Getting to know Sifu Swift, hes very Gifted, knowledgeable & highly experience in the field of Material Arts (Wing Chun). His class teach real life situations self defense & Ive learned many techniques just by watching Sifu Swift. If you want your kids to learn & really know self defense, I HIGHLY recommend non other then Sifu Swift & his team of instructors. Him & his team are very & highly skilled in the profession of Material Arts (Wing Chun)! They are they BEST in terms of teaching & you can put to practice right away.

Ive been liking Wing Chun since 2001. I only been learning Wing Chun through books and few DVDs.Also learning its philosophy through many books, which relates to Wing Chun. But never get a chance to learn from actual Wing Chun teacher. Finally, we have a Wing Chun school in Minnesota. Its a legit School and Instructor. I learn many variety arts from different Martial Art Schools, but couldnt find what I want. This is a rarely chance to have a Wing Chun school in Minnesota. Sifu Steve Lee Swift is actual student from Ip Man 2 son & 2 student. Hes also teaches straight forward applications & real life self defense tactics. As theres a saying:( positions before repetitions, and repetitions before perfections. ). Theres only few instructors well have this in there teaching. Sifu Steve Lee Swift truly have this. Hes really patients towards his student and others. I understand some people well experience self proclaim or ex-con to use other Martial Arts name to tarnished other schools. Also to hurt others civilians. This I went through, hear it, and see it.All parents and students, do seek a truthful and good teachers. A teacher, do seek a truthful and good attentions from a students.To anyone out there I highly do recommend you to go and check it out. Look around the school and youll see lots of details & storied. Its a good atmosphere for family and friends to go learn Wing Chun.

We are fortunate to have Grandmaster Steve Lee Swift instructing Wing Chun Kung Fu in the area. Sifu Swift instructs students of all ages and skill levels utilizing years of experience and a true respect and passion for the art. I have been a student for just under a year. I wish our paths would have crossed sooner! I know reviews such as this can carry some weight - I would encourage anyone considering studying or furthering their training in martial arts to visit with Sifu Swift. It only takes a short time to recognize his skill and dedication.

6 years ago, I had the opportunity to learn Wing Chun in Foshan, China for a couple of months. Since then I fell in love with the Art of Wing Chun and had been teaching myself based on what was taught to me and whatever books I could get a hold on to that was related to Wing Chun and Martial Arts.Now-a-days everyone likes to call themselves a Martial Arts master and self-proclaim themselves to be grand masters and teachers. But very few of them are recognized by Official Martial Arts Masters and Wing Chun Masters in China. Grand-master Swift is one of the few that is recognized by the Wing Chun Association of China. I would have never been given the opportunity to learn from Grand-master Swift if not for him moving to Minnesota a couple of years ago from Florida. When I am learning in class it feels just like when I was in China.I too, was hesitant when looking for a Master who could aide me in continuing my lifelong journey of learning Wing Chun. Because to me a Master is forever a student. In this day and age it is difficult to find a legitimate master to learn from especially with the globalized popularity of Wing Chun. But I guarantee that if you come and learn from Grand-master Swift it will be as if you were training Wing Chun in China. If you still have doubts or questions I suggest you go visit the dojo or give Grandmaster Swift a call to ask him personally. He is very friendly and has a great personality, charisma and leadership skills with the experience, agility, and techniques to back it all up.

Great environment to learn Wing Chun. The SiFu is incredible at teaching both my kids and me. They love the classes, and look forward to coming to class every week. Also, convenient location and ample parking!

This is easily the most effective and efficient martial arts Ive seen taught or shown in person. The flow and the power of the form is so easy to feel even at the beginning levels. Low pressure, casual and fun environment but still a solid focus on respect, honor and discipline. Lots of easy and natural self defense taught as well as traditional Wing Chun. Excellent Sifu and really friendly people attend! This is very different and far more effective art form and environment than the other martial art classes and forms weve experienced in the part. My 13 yr old son, my girlfriend and I have been doing classes for 3 months and its great. Highly recommend visiting to see for yourself! Check out classes in Minnetonka!

Great place, I’ve been attending classes for close to 6 months. I’ve definitely learned more from Sifu Swift than other places I’ve attended. It’s a rare opportunity to train with him. It’s a really great atmosphere with kind people and with classes 6 days a week it’s easy to find a time that works for you. Sifu Swift teaches the entire Wing Chun system and doesn’t mix any arts. If you like the Ip Man movies, you’d definitely like training here.

*Im a current student at the MN school. Apologies regarding the person wearing the school branded clothing and yelling profanities. That person doesnt represent the school and was kicked out nearly two years ago. Please disregard their behaviour. It doesnt represent what the training and, more importantly, Sifu Swift represents.*I have been training for a year and a half and have found this to be one of the best decisions I have made for myself. I am healthier and happier because of the training and Sifu Swift. This art has a practicality that will blow your mind and at the same time its a focus art that takes discipline to learn properly.Sifu Swift is unparalleled in his knowledge and experience that stems directly from the Ip Man lineage and it shows. You will learn to defend yourself and those you care about and, most importantly, build confidence in yourself.Highly recommended. Very much worth the time and the effort.

Sifu Swift is an award winning Grandmaster and has been teaching Wing Chun for nearly 50 years. This is his school. Not a school licensed to use his name or title, but his personal school and he teaches every class. The experience you get from working with someone with that much experience is unparalleled. His teaching style is more geared towards useful street self defense than practicing moves over and over again that arent going to be effective. Ive been taking 3-5 lessons a week here for the last 4 months and have also been taking weekly private lessons. Ive not taken any martial arts classes before, but was once a competitive athlete and have learned an enormous amount and developed and fine tuned quite a bit of proprioception.Also, Sifu interviews everyone that walks through that door intending to take classes to ensure that the learning environment for everyone is not compromised by a student that will create a poor environment. If something isnt quite working, point it out and it will be addressed. Its an honor to have such a skilled teacher that also cares about everyone learning as much as Sifu Swift does.

Excellent Wing Chun Kung Fu school in Minnetonka! Grandmaster Steve Lee Swift trained Wing Chun under two of Ip Mans sons and other Wing CHun masters in Hong Kong. He has more than forty years of full-time Wing Chun training and instruction. If you want to learn kung fu that works in real life this is a good choice.
