My Martial Arts Journey
My martial arts journey began in early 2011 when I started training in Wing Chun Kung Fu.
In early 2012 I also began studying Jow Ga Kung Fu.
​
After 10 years, with a few breaks in between, I earnt my Wing Chun Black Sash/Belt at the end of 2021.
Over the last few years, I began training in BJJ, XMA, T'ai Chi, Kickboxing, and Philipino Martial Arts.
​
With every style added to the list, I learnt new skills and gained new abilities that would help me, not just in each style of martial art, but also in life. Now, I have the honour and privilege to pass on these skills and knowledge as an instructor, whilst my own training continues.
​
In January of 2024 I was presented with the title of 'Sihing', which means 'Big Brother' in Kung Fu Schools. This came with the responsibilty to not only continue the education of my students in martial arts, but also to uphold the customs and traditions that come with those martial arts.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) was created by the Gracie brothers, Carlos, Oswaldo, Gastao Jr., and Helio Gracie in the early 20th century following Carlos' study in Judo. Carlos then taught BJJ to his nephews, the Machado brothers. BJJ is a grappling and wrestling style martial art, used for both sport competition and self defence.
Kickboxing
Kickboxing is a full-contact sport martial art created in the mid 20th century. It was first developed in Japan by combining Savate (French Kickboxing) with traditional Karate fighting. It found a rise in the west in the Netherlands and USA, where elements of other martial arts were added to it. Kickboxing is practiced for competitive fighting and general fitness.
Self-Defence
Self defence from a variety of martial arts, including not only the physical techniques, but also the mind set of self defence.
Jow Ga Kung Fu
Jow Ga is a form of Kung Fu created by Jow Lung in the early 20th century by combining the Kung Fu styles of Hung Ga, Choy Ga, and Northern Shaolin Wushu. It is traditionally a military style, focusing on combat with multiple opponants, utilising similtanious attack and defence.
Kali/Escrima/Arnis
Kali, Escrima, and Arnis are some of the common terms for Philipino martial arts. Used for self defence, it has a broad focus on hand to hand combat, stick fighting, knife fighting, and the use of machete like swords.
MMA
Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is a hybrid sport combining multiple styles of combat. Each MMA athlete may vary in their styles, but most MMA training and competition will consist of both stand-up sparring and grappling/wrestling.
T'ai Chi
T'ai Chi is a martial art stemming from Qi Gong, which originated in ancient China. It was founded, like many martial arts, for self defence, but has evolved into a sport and form of exercise for many people across the world. T'ai Chi uses breath control and slow, controlled movements in sequences called forms to create a full body practice of physical exercise and mental wellbeing.
Performance Karate
Performance Karate is a method and style of combining traditional Karate forms, both open-hand and weapon forms, with acrobatic martial arts like Wushu Kung Fu and demo style Karate, and athletic sports like gymnastics and tricking. It can be performed to or without music.
