Sifu / Tuhon Eric Jue

Coach Eric is a fourth generation Ip Man Wing Chun Kung Fu Sifu. He grew up in Northeast Los Angeles in a neighborhood called Mount Washington. He was bullied at one Summer Camp and in Middle School. What was meant for evil, God used for good decades later.

He, like a lot of his contemporaries, was inspired to study martial arts after watching all of the Bruce Lee movies. Growing up, he briefly studied Five Family Five Animals Kung Fu with Sifu Ark Wong and Sifu Carl Totton.

He had a martial arts mid- life crisis after putting it down for 20 years after getting married. He was first exposed to Wing Chun Kung Fu and Filipino Kali when he was studying Bruce Lee’s Jun Fan Jeet Kune Do curriculum.

He decided to take a deeper dive & started studying Wing Tsun Kung Fu (a variation of Wing Chun Kung Fu) and other styles of Filipino Martial Arts (FMA). 

In 2016, he started teaching Wing Tsun and FMA. His students say that he is adept at explaining, breaking things down, and making the complex simple. He invites you to read the reviews under "More."

Coach Eric is a Wing Chun Kung Fu ambassador. He seeks the similarities and respects the differences within and outside the Wing Chun art. His reach includes his students, peers, instructors of other martial arts, and the public.

He also gives back to the community by working with the "Seniors Fight Back" organization as an assistant coach, South Bay Community Church as a security team member, and the ABC Unified School District as a Student Intervention Assistant (SIA).
