Boehlig Defense Systems was founded in July of 2005 (then called “Wing Tsjun International") by Wing Tsjun Grandmasters Thommy Luke Boehlig and Allan W. Fong.
Originally Wing Tsjun International was created to become the prominent international Organisation for the sacred Chinese art of Fighting, Wing Tsjun.
As the company continues to grow, we have begun to integrate many more branches to the tree from which we build our concept; we are continually adapting ourselves to the new disciplines as our company continues to grow.
In 2007, Sifu Allan Fong officially handed the company over to Sifu Boehlig, who created the company Boehlig Defense Systems (BDS) in order to incorporate the many new directions his company was now taking.
Following the mission statement of the organization, the branches of Boehlig Defense Systems comprise of those disciplines, which incorporate fitness, utilize self-defense, and increase the student’s self-confidence.
