About
I am a disciple and teacher of Ip Man direct lineage Wing Chun boxing. 10 years, Only 3rd generation.
Ip Man-Ip Ching-Russ Cichon-Patrick Murello(myself). Teaching since 2013.
I am also trained in Israeli Krav Maga by Master Sergeant Eugene Gershman (Ret.)
I teach people to believe in themselves using triangulation. First build the physical body, so the brain resides in a strong house, determination breeds mental acuity, and spiritual/humanitarianism is not far behind once our body and mind becomes healthy.
