Northern Kung Fu
Learn to move like never before.
Kung Fu training involves every part of your body, mind, and soul. The practice includes obvious things, like balance, the generation of explosive power, strength, flexibility, and a deep understanding of your own body.
It also involves mental discipline, an understanding of what happens to your physiology when you get “triggered,” which means the activation of your fight, flight, and freeze responses, and the release of powerful neurochemicals.
You learn to strengthen the body while honing the mind. When you train with me, you also learn to keep your heart and your mind open, so that the training is about more than just fighting and self-defense. It’s also about how you show up inside of your own life, from the boardroom to the bedroom.
My Background
I am a 3rd Generation White Tiger SiFu, and have been studying Shaolin and Northern style Kung Fu for nearly 30 years. Before training under Master Jong Hoon Jeon in Philadelphia, I studied under the Venerable Shi Yan Ming, 34th Generation Shaolin monk, in New York City.
I became a disciple of Master Jong Hoon Jeon in 2001, meaning I agreed to be trained in the demanding and traditional manner reserved for the most serious of students. In 2002 I was awarded the title of instructor and permitted to teach on my own, and in 2004 elevated to Da Si Hing (school leader).
I ran Master Jeon’s Philadelphia school from 2002-2005, leading 9 classes a week. In 2008, I was elevated by Master Jeon to a junior sifu, and in 2014 to a full sifu and lineage holder. In addition to Shaolin Kung Fu, I have also trained in Hung Gar, Wing Chun, Krav Maga, Muay Tahi, Jingui Qi Gong, western boxing, and Tai Chi.
How it Works
If you live on the Front Range of Colorado, you can train at the school with other students. More info here.
