Seminar Guidelines
- Open seminars should be scheduled at least four months in advance to allow for
maximum advertisement.
- Closed seminars can be scheduled with as little as one month's notice.
- All seminars are to be two days, preferably Saturday and Sunday. The minimum
time requirement is eight hours. The maximum time is twelve hours. Eight hours
is good, ten hours is excellent and twelve hours is staring to push it just a little
bit! About six hours per day is all that most students can handle!
- Seminar fee is to be paid in cash by the date of the seminar, if not before! Half of
the fee pre-paid is required for foreign seminars.
- Cameras will be allowed, with the following agreement: Following the
development of the photos, a set will be sent immediately to Sifu Massengill No
photos of Sifu Massengill may be used for any purpose without his written
consent! Only the Seminar Host will be allowed to Video the seminar with the
agreement that a copy of the footage will be sent to Sifu Massengill with the
understanding that the footage could be used in instructional videos sold by the
association. And the the host will not sell or distribute this video footage to
anyone! All attendees must sign a release for video footage to be used in any
way deemed appropriate by Sifu Massengill. If they cannot agree to all of these
terms ahead of time, they will not be allowed to tape the event! It's just that
simple!
- Everyone attending the seminar must pay in full at the door or in advance. No
instruction is rendered without payment! Participants not intending to train must
pay a one-half price spectator fee. A certain amount can be learned just by
watching, so it is not fair for anyone to attend free!
- Any equipment that is necessary must be provided by the sponsor/promoter of
the seminar.
All Seminars include Private Session with the Host.
Discounts Available for Association Member Host

Seminar Testimonial
I am a 68 health and fitness enthusiast and one of my life goals was to learn
a martial art. After several months of Wing Chun at the Greenville Martial
Arts Academy in Greenville, SC, Master Tony Massengill visited for a 2 day
seminar. Master Tony has the skills to capture and hold the attention and
respect of his students. He is a legendary martial artist in multiple
disciplines and a Master of Grand Master Ip Man's Wing Chun. I benefited
most from Master Tony's life experiences and practical application of the
form. Master Tony's time on the streets as a public servant gives him
insight that many younger instructors lack. When not involved in the
physical training, we sat mesmerized around Master Tony as he related
experiences and nuances of Wing Chun that could only come from contact
with direct descendant's of Grand Master Ip Man. Master Tony's 2 days was
the equivalent of multiple lessons and untold experience. He is an artisan
at his craft but more importantly, a personable gentleman. Spending time
with Master Tony was one of my most valuable life experiences. His books
and DVD's give detailed instruction for the forms as well as drills and
applications. Although not quite as good as Master Tony's personal touch,
they are invaluable training aids at home. My life is enriched from my time
with Master Tony Massengill. He is one of those few gifted individuals with
the ability to change your life in a positive way.
