“I am proud and honored to be part of the Martial Art World, my Kung Fu family, and my Sifu.”

“I believe my Kung Fu training has given a feeling of being part of something complete. I believe this is everything I will ever need to become complete as a Martial Artist. No matter what level I believe I can achieve there will always be something more to increase the knowledge. Everyday, no matter how much or how little I train I always learn something new or have a better understanding of what was previously learned.”

“One of the benefits of teaching is that it reinforces what you know, maintains what you have learned and refines your overall knowledge.”

“Another is working with and teaching honest and hard working students. It gives me great pleasure to watch them grow and to experience their ability to bring alive what is learned.”
