Why We Train
In a world filled with commercialized fitness trends and competitive fight culture, traditional Ving Tsun offers something different — a practice centered on discipline, awareness, structure, and personal growth. At Denver Kung Fu, training is not about intimidation or becoming the toughest person in the room. It’s about developing skill through consistency, patience, and understanding.
Ving Tsun was designed to help a person defend themselves efficiently through timing, positioning, sensitivity, and body mechanics rather than relying on size or athleticism alone. Our training focuses on practical fundamentals, partner development, reflex training, balance, coordination, and learning how to remain calm under pressure.
We preserve a traditional approach to Kung Fu while teaching in a welcoming environment built for modern students. Whether your goal is self-defense, confidence, fitness, stress relief, or simply learning a respected martial art with real history and depth, our school provides a place to train with purpose.
No experience is necessary. Every student starts at the beginning.

Testimonials
“I recently started training at Denver Kung Fu, and I can say with no reservation that it has been an overwhelmingly positive and inclusive experience. The space is clean and welcoming. Sifu Ely and the members are friendly, insightful, and accommodating. This practice offers an opportunity to take a deep dive into an efficient, effective, and practical martial art. If you are searching for a place to learn and train with some awesome people, look no further!”
“I began training Ving Tsun kung fu at Denver Kung Fu in January of 2020 as a new years resolution. During a very strange year, the school worked hard to transition to online and cdc-compliant in person classes that felt safe to me. Being able to get a good work out in a small space from home with no equipment needed, as well as having the resource of the kung fu community and personalized, kind instruction from Sifu Ely Matson truly was as healthy for my mental well-being as well as physical. This style of kung fu was made for women by a woman, (though men can and do obviously use it well! i.e. Bruce Lee) and being a woman myself, studying this style of Kung Fu has helped me feel empowered and relaxed in dangerous situations. Often martial arts communities can feel “macho” and there is none of that atmosphere here at all. It is refreshing and illuminating and honestly i cannot recommend beginning your practice at Denver Kung Fu enough.”
