Dr. Mullen is a licensed and experienced Chiropractor of over 20 years. He has been teaching Wing Chun Kung Fu for 28 years. He has given and accepted all challenges for far longer. These challenges were full contact no protective gear and bare-knuckle. Dr. Mullen has a great deal of real world fighting experience: As A: Bouncer in New York City Nightclubs, A security guard in a welfare hotel graveyard shift. This hotel was Just outside the Bronx in New York City. The hotel housed people on welfare. Doc's job was to tell ex-convicts literally off the bus from Rikers Island, Sing-Sing prison and Bellevue psychiatric hospital they were barred from entering after not seeing a woman in 25 years. A huge live music bar in Gainesville, Florida called DUBS, and as head bouncer, security director, for 3 bars simultaneously in Dallas, Texas.
Dr. Mullen's challenges and real fights have taken a toll. And he has the injuries to prove it. For example A fully collapsed lung with a one-MONTH hospital stay. Many missing teeth, a cracked jaw, many broken ribs, a broken hand, many concussions, 2 strokes, many herniated spinal discs among many others. Any teacher who says they do not get hit or hurt is either lying or not fighting hard enough to test and improve their skill. Probably both.
Due to his injuries and a Jerry Springer level divorce, he is focusing on teaching and rebuilding his Chiropractic practice. He is taking a break from challenges until his successor's training is complete. When asked WHY he did all of this, his answer is always, "You can never have too many people licking the ground before your booted feet in Valhalla..."
Dr. Mullen says" I have paid in blood, sweat, and pain for my knowledge., so you don't have to. A high price, I pay it gladly..."
Doc has been personally involved in, and doing his best to see the good people survive, real combat situations: For example, riots of 60 people and many smaller riots as well. The Dallas sniper incident in Downtown Dallas, where doc pulled people off the street and escorted them to safety. Among other shootings, stabbing, fistfights, and general mayhem. He has been personally attacked with Guns, knives, baseball bats, a brick, shivs, shanks, pipes, numerous bar stools and chairs, nunchakus, a machete, a Ford F-350, and one large frozen fish of unknown species.
Dr. Mullen is a licensed Chiropractor for over 20 years with an extensive understanding of how the body works. Chiropractors are the top-tier experts in anatomy, physiology, and biomechanics. He is a Vetted Medical expert witness going head-to-head in court with Orthopedic surgeons and neurosurgeons,,, and winning. If you can fix something breaking, it is simple...
Wing Chun is and should be simple. It is simple but not easy...
He, unlike most teachers, knows WHY Wing Chun Works.
Dr. Mullen was invited to be a Judge for the international, Legends of Kung Fu tournament.
He is one of a very few westerners ever invited to judge there. Legends of Kung FU is large, over 20,000 people attend with hundreds of participants. It is a yearly gathering. Internationally recognized as one of the best and largest martial arts tournaments in the world. Featuring Martial artists from all over the world. He was a judge in both Wing Chun and San Soo [full contact] fighting, for multiple years.
If you know WHY you do something, you are less likely to screw it up when someone tries to kill you or someone you care about.
Wing Chun's structure is subtle. You cannot do it correctly by just looking. You need to feel it. The structure needs to be tested and challenged to ensure it will hold under pressure. You NEED a teacher who has REAL world experience to guide you.
Sifu Mullen grew up in a Law enforcement family, His Dad is an FBI agent and a lawman in the truest sense of the word. Mike Mullen, Dr. Mullen's father, began his FBI career under J. Edgar Hoover. Being from a law enforcement family gives Dr. Mullen a better understanding of violent criminals, which aids students in the Psychology of a fight.

Our School is in Arlington, Texas across from Arlington High School, A mile south of UTA on Cooper street. The major cross street is Cooper and Park Row. Woodcrest is one street south of Park row on Cooper. We are BEHIND Jiffy Lube and Williams convenience mart, down the alley. It is not easy to find, for a reason.
WE have small classes, it is rare for the class to have more than 25 students. Wing Chun is VERY hands-on teaching. It is energy intensive for the teacher. You can not just line people up to punch, kick and scream endlessly. You have to feel Wing Chun. It is NOT monkey see, monkey do. It is more like 3D chess or 4D, depends on how you look at it… Any Wing Chun school with more students than that is a belt mill, run don't walk from there. The class size best for PROFIT is the worst for LEARNING. Doc says he would rather have 20 world-class students than 10,000 crappy ones.
Our whole focus is combat. We do not spend hours running forms, Chi Sau or poorly thought out drills. Drills that most other teachers use will actually make you WORSE at fighting. If you teach but don't have any significant fighting experience. And No, tournament point fighting does NOT count. How will you know what drills to focus on, what tactics to apply and WHY. Why did you make those decisions ? Most will answer "because my teacher told me to". NOT Good enough if your life depends on it. Our drills focus on real world combat, a good drill should train both students at the same time., not just one. And any drills should not be so complex you fail under pressure when the adrenalin is pumping.
A perfect example of this is a drill to counter a hook. In 90% of Wing Chun schools, they DO NOT teach much on how to counter a hook. A hook is what most people will throw in a real fight, nobody is going to chain punch you in the street! If they do have a drill for hooks, it is almost always a Tan Sau and punch combo, we will teach you why that's a bad idea in most situations. We teach multiple ways to deal with ALL common attacks. As well as varying distance from beyond kicking distance to the ground and everything in between. Hook, jab, cross, boxing combinations, take-downs, grabs and kicks. Dr. Mullen has a black belt in Karate, so he KNOWS how real kicks work. We have numerous focus drills, including Look Sau. Look, Sau is analytical sparring. Dr. Mullen's interpretation of Wing Chun is not techniques based, but based on principles and concepts to aid the student to be able to make decisions in REAL TIME. We have Large screen TV's and over head projectors, we use video to slow down the fighting to teach and make corrections. Slow motion is very helpful in the learning process.
We adhere to the KISS principle. Keep it simple, stupid.
If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
If you can get away, do so. Only fight if it is life or death. Then if they give you no choice find your opponent's center and destroy it. Hit them as hard and fast as you can and do not stop. Use your environment for improvised weapons and or deploy your weapons if tactically feasible. You learn how to determine what weapons to deploy and which ones not to. And WHY Get that wrong, and you die, she dies everybody dies.
Our fighting philosophy is:
Violence is never the answer until it is the ONLY answer. Reasonable people do not start with violence, but many times are forced to violence.
Hands kill, do not lose track of your opponent's hands. Do not hyper focus on the opponent, he may not be alone. Do NOT expect help. The supreme court has ruled that the police DO NOT have ANY duty to protect you. YOU are ON YOUR OWN. Look it up if you don't believe me.
We assume your opponent is at least 3 times your size and at least 3 times your strength, plus his friends. This is where MMA falls flat. Wrestling more than one person is called suicide. I want to remain on my feet if for no other reason to run if the opportunity presents itself. You fight like you train. If you train with rules that protect you if you do something egregiously stupid, you Will make that mistake is real combat. Any wrestler who goes UNDER my arms in the real world will have me drop my weight ballistically through my forearm across the base of their skull and the top of their Cervical spine. Making them a quadriplegic, if they are lucky, dead if not. Fights and life are not fair, get over it. If your art can't handle that, change arts or carry a gun. Preferably both.
EVERYONE makes the wrong assumptions about fighting. People choose to fight one way or another. Based on limited understanding how the body works and or outright insanity… You start with the wrong idea, how will you ever learn to fight well?
The correct question should be - HOW WAS THE BODY DESIGNED TO FIGHT - EFFICIENTLY?
How come I'm the only one to ask this?
Prospective students are invited to visit any beginner class no appointment needed.
