Self-Protection Redefined

Until now there has been a gap between what is known as martial arts and self-defense. The two are not the same and have never occupied one system completely. Furthermore, there are limitations within the martial arts world generally due to traditional thinking and sport influence which lack realism, and simultaneously there is a tangible insufficiency of high level skill in the self-defense world.

Using a big picture, self-defense scenario mentality and extensive knowledge and experience, Sifu Armando Sainz has seamlessly merged the highest caliber martial art system with the best components of real life self-defense. Armando incorporates no sport, tradition or ceremony. Only what is most logical and functional for fighting and self-preservation is taught without losing any of the refined finesse found in the Wing Chun system. He has also designed a personalized private lesson training program to effeciently teach his system. This is where ancient knowledge and modern insight come together.

Innovative Wing Chun enables students to add more layers of protection than ever before, while the student learns substantial skills, much quicker than in any traditional and group setting. Armando has successfully produced many high level practitioners and more importantly, survivors of real life violent conflicts. Armando Sainz has not only redefined Wing Chun, but also the world of self-protection making this the most sophisticatedly advanced system to date.

Private Membership Advantage

Top Quality

• Members receive privileged access to unmatched personalized, private self-defense training. Those who receive this instruction surpass and easily outdo the abilities of those who train in other martial arts or self-defense schools. This can be achieved in a much shorter time span with an adeptness only obtained by the one on one training Armando Sainz provides. His Innovative Wing Chun system has been tested time and again over the years in every possible scenario, position and situation. Innovation was and is the key to growth in its development coupled with thousands upon thousands of hours of polishing and refinement. You will not find a better, more well rounded, efficient self-defense system nor a better medium for instruction.

Higher Return on Investment

• Sure, other martial arts are probably less expensive to learn up front, but what do you get for your investment of time and money? Consider the fact that 99% of the martial arts systems out there are sport and tradition oriented to varying degrees. This means their techniques only work in a controlled environment and can be a fatal inadequacy in a real life situation. Over time you will end up spending more money for something that will never actually work when you need it most. Innovative Wing Chun is 0% sport or traditon and 100% geared to work for you on the street. What value do you place on knowing that you can truly handle yourself in any given situation?

A Premier Self-Defense System

• Knowing that you possess skills that put you in an elite category of martial artist is undoubtedly one of life's genuine delights. The Innovative Wing Chun system and the way it is taught is by far the most outstanding offer in the high level self-defense world. Every student is given a custom lesson each time they come with as much valuable information and skill transferred from teacher to student as humanly possible. If you are looking for the utmost quality and return for your diligent effort to learn then look no further.

A Better Experience

• Yes, a better learning experience is a vital part of how Innovative Wing Chun is taught. The student-teacher relationship is non-traditional in that it is relaxed and easygoing yet serious because of the life saving content of each lesson. All lessons are carefully crafted in an edifying environment to be in-depth and meaningful to each student. Armando Sainz' knowledge of self-defense is second to none and he will guide you through every step from your first enquiry to every personalized lesson and beyond. This kind of learning experience builds a confidence and trust that money can’t buy and skill that is PRICELESS.

Testimonials

"I give my highest recommendation for Armando himself, for his skill level, patience, instruction abilities, high character, and his innovative system. I’ve been training with him for only a few months and I already trust him implicitly. Because I travel extensively and am generally very busy with work, I personally couldn’t justify a different type of training other than the private, one-on-one instruction in his system. Who wants to spend 5 times as long to only obtain a fraction of the skill? I don’t see any cost savings or value in another approach." - Lindon Hayes, Founder and Managing Member, National Technology Integrator

"I have been training with Sifu Armando Sainz for several months now and have learned much more about Wing Chun and true self defense than all of my previous years of training combined. I attribute this progress to Sifu Armando's vast knowledge, experience, patience, and practical approach to teaching his martial art form. Sifu Armando's concept based style of fighting completely removes the aspect of sport, which is so popular today, and prepares the student for real-world scenarios and application. He is the teacher that every student hopes to find and every fighter aspires to become." - Eric Marcotte, U.S. Marshals

"I have taken Sifu Armando's system for many years and have acquired skills that take most a lifetime to attain. My self-defense skills and abilities would not be possible without the one-on-one instruction of Sifu Armando Sainz. He teaches the system as it is, in a full comprehensive way that makes it possible for each individual to learn to their greatest potential. His teaching method and fighting skill are superb." - Robert Nunes, Senior Student, Security Consultant and Amateur MMA Fighter

”Armando's anti-grappling system is a very effective, concept based method that grew out of his Wing Chun knowledge and has been tested over and over and shown to be extremely potent. It allows you to be able to get back on your feet quickly so you don’t have to fight in a grappler’s area of expertise. This is the best I’ve ever seen.” - Sifu Kevin Reid, Wing Chun Master and Musician

“Armando is very personable, honest and an excellent instructor. Armando will give you every opportunity to learn, will remodel his program around your requirements and always gave me far more than I ever paid for. All he wants is for his students to be successful, and you will without a doubt get far more from your relationship and instruction than you paid for. Working with this man has been an experience of a lifetime and had it not been for a move across country I would still be working with him.” - Gavin Slabbert, VoIP Network Engineer

"I have been with Armando for 2 years now, after 3 years in the Leung Ting Wing Tsun system. I can safely say I learned more in 6 sessions (2 a month, 4 hours each) than in three years of a more "traditional" system. I was exposed to the wooden dummy my second month, whereas in the prior system, no exposure would be given until you were a higher level practitioner. In addition, I have learned basic stick techniques, defense against sticks, knives, and guns. It is all practical knowledge, with no gimmicks. This is truly the real deal." - Bob Desai, M.D. and Instructor

"I have been in several physical confrontations growing up. It was just a part of life from where I came from. Being more of a bookworm and not a street kid, I looked for the most efficient way to get out of scuffles unharmed. I came to a realization that I am getting older and can not rely on my physical strength forever. I came across Sifu Armando Sainz and visited him. It was there that I understood that this is where I will learn self-defense. His manner of teaching is more of a coaching method. He technically breaks everything down in manageable bites. I have learned Wing Chun, many self defense techniques and concepts in the past 7 years and will continue to travel this path for many more. Training with Sifu Armando you WILL learn the ability to defend yourself and you loved ones." - Tim Faughn, Wing Chun Black Sash

"Armando is a great practitioner of Wing Chun and martial arts in general, a real natural! Armando began his training in martial arts in 1979 (I was one year old!). He has extensive martial arts experience... Sifu Armando has a reputation of excellence and he has produced many great students. " - Sifu Jesse Moon, Wing Chun Expert

"Armando Sainz was the first to complete the full curriculum under me years ago. He has gone on to be in the forefront of the Wing Chun movement by having one of the longest running public schools, being in the public eye with his outstanding web site, and his writings which can be found on the internet. Also, Armando has developed a specific 'anti-grappling system', unique to his abilities." - Sifu Bill Graves, Wing Chun Expert

"I just started lessons with Sifu Armando Sainz without having any previous self-defense instruction. He is very helpful and has a passion for teaching. Everything he has shown me has been "intellectually justifiable". It makes total sense! I am extremely excited about taking these lessons and wish that I could take more. At the end of every lesson I can not wait for the next one to show up." - Sean Morgan, Musician

"My experience learning Innovative Wing Chun with Sifu Armando Sainz has been very exciting and enlightening. His approach is efficient, intuitive, logical and based on what is practical. This system is taught in a personalized environment and customized to meet and exceed the needs of any individual seeking to study self-defense. I look forward to continuing my training with Sifu Armando." - Al Hamilton, Computers
