Our Martial Arts Programs
Seven authentic Chinese martial arts styles, each offering unique
pathways to internal mastery and personal transformation.
Internal Wing Chun
The 1700/1800 Internal Wing Chun curriculum at the Eternal Spring Institute is a traditional and deeply rooted pathway into Wing Chun’s original internal foundations. It emphasizes internal development alongside the historical forms and principles from the 1700s and 1800s, tracing the art back to its early ancestors and original training methods.
Weng Chun
The Weng Chun program at the Eternal Spring Institute preserves and transmits the rare and comprehensive Tang Yik Weng Chun system , a Southern Chinese martial art and sister system to Wing Chun. Rooted in the teachings passed down in Foshan and Hong Kong by the late Grandmasters Tang Suen and Tang Yik , this curriculum represents one of the most complete and historically intact Weng Chun lineages still taught today.
Wu Taijiquan
The Wu Taijiquan program at the Eternal Spring Institute represents an authentic transmission of the Wu family system through Sifu Zhou Zhongfu , a direct lineage holder of Wu Taijiquan. Beginning his training in early childhood and studying under several teachers, Sifu Zhou embodies a complete and traditionally preserved method passed down through generations.
MADEIRA - THE Longevity ISLAND
Madeira, is a place where the ocean meets the mountains in perfect harmony. Its colorful and diverse nature, history, climate, beaches and panoramic views inspire peace and vitality. It combines the perfect Eternal Spring climate with daytime temperatures hovering between 18 and 21 degrees in the Winter to 23-28 degrees in the Summer, making it never too hot and never to cold.
Madeira has been visited for its health benefits for over 200 years, starting in the early 1800s, primarily for respiratory ailments and general convalescence, and continuing in various forms into the present.
In this unique setting, the practice of Kung Fu becomes more than training — it is a dialogue with nature. Every movement reflects the strength of the mountains and the rhythm of the ocean.
Training at the Eternal Spring Institute unites body, mind and energy in one flow. Here, Kung Fu is not just an art, but a living experience of balance and inner power.
