Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Paced teaching based on students individual, unique characteristics and experience.
Some of the points to think about beforehand are:
· Sports experience & history: This can be your own personal experience, or family heritage and history in sports.
· Dietary plans/changes: for shedding or adding pounds and being healthier all around.
· Areas of the body you want to focus on: like arm strength, knee mobility, or leg shape. (for example)
· Past challenges: like wanting to be able lift a certain amount of weight, run a certain distance, do the splits, or punch a speed bag fast like a boxer. (for example)
· Real Combat training: for pro or semi pro fight interests.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Being invited to study at The Shaolin Kung Fu Zen seminar by Shaolin monks, masters and disciplies visiting here in the Bay Area. Having an open invitation with them is an honor.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Feel it out and make sure the teacher fits EXACTLY what you are looking for, because learning Kung Fu, or similar arts requires a high level of commitment to the art and the teacher.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What they want to learn, and have a clear understanding of why, or how they want to apply what they learn. They should also understand that learning arts of this nature is a proccess, and they should assk themselves are they willing to go through the process to master the art of thier choice.
