HistoryOriginally designed and established in 2012 by it's Founder and Chief Instructor Barry Goldberg in Shanghai, China. June of 2013 the training method and discipline had moved it's headquarters to ZhuHai, China to further train and instruct along side the Zhongshan, China Wing Chun Association. In May 2014 GSDA was certified as a martial art discipline by the Wing Chun Association of Zhongshan, China. GSDA has recently moved back to the US in June of 2014 and now available for both group and private classes at The Learning Center for Martial Arts in Canton, MA.SpecialtiesGSDA is a style of it's own. By combining many martial art disciplines such as Krav Maga Wing Chun Kung Fu and Muay Thai we've found a way to instruct the students the way they want to train - their way. At GSDA we give you the concept, you create the style is just that - your way. To learn a martial art it can take years and years of training to perfect the different forms. At GSDA we first learn to fight and defend by using the students reflexes or muscle memory and then building from that. We believe that within one month we can teach the student simple yet effective techniques that they will be comfortable to perform. The key word being comfort, being able to effectively protect or exercise effectively to the student's ability. We believe in quality over quantity, what works for the student is what will work in the future. Even if it was subtly changed from tradition - it's still effective - because it works for YOU. Once the student is confident with the techniques they have learned, it's time to perfect it. We specialize in allowing the student to choose what they like - the GSDA style which is a combination of different disciplines effectively designed to focus on the students strengths and weaknesses, or focusing on one specific discipline. In May of 2014 GSDA was certified as a martial art by the Wing Chun Association of Zhongshan, China and are considered a 3rd generation disciple of the most famous Grand Master Ip Man.
