Private Lessons & Coaches in Opa Locka, FL

Raised in a family steeped in martial arts, I was first introduced to Kung Fu by my uncle, a student of the legendary "Black Dragon" Ron Van Clief, at the age of 11. My passion for martial arts was reignited under the tutelage of Tracy Tyler, a maestro with an impressive 49 years of experience, and a student of Moses Powell. My journey took me to City Wing Tsun, where I dedicated three years, earning a black shirt in Wing Tsun. Eventually, I found Sifu Zig Short, delving into the William Cheung lineage with an intense focus on the Wooden dummy technique. Today, I carry these diverse experiences into my coaching, enriching the boxing practice of my students.
