Best Wing Chun School Wilmington Near Me

4worldlovers: Bourelle Martial Arts was first opened in Wilmington, NC in late 2004 under the name, “Wilmington Martial Arts Center”. It’s moved to a few different locations as the school has grown, starting in the garage of owner Dan Bourelle, then moving to the Childrens Learning Center on Medical Center drive. It made a short stint in a group fitness room at what was Peak Fitness at the time, before renting out space at Crisp Martial Arts Academy. From there, Mr. Bourelle opened the studio full time at a more permanent location on Oleander near Mellow Mushroom where the name changed to “Wilmington Martial Arts & Fitness Center” as it introduced personal training options and group fitness classes along with its martial arts classes.

After more than 8 years at that location, the school made another move to its current location at 800 Shipyard in order to expand and provide a slightly larger facility for its growing students. Just before this move is when the name changed once more to “Bourelle Martial Arts”. This name change is a reflection of the changes and evolving nature of our martial arts systems as well as a way to connect with fellow schools in Nebraska run by my brother, Mike Bourelle, that now all go by the same name.
