By attaching a belt to simulate grips, it allows you to train throws like hip throws, leg hooks, and shoulder-based lifts while focusing on proper body mechanics—stepping, pulling, hip rotation, and maintaining forward pressure. The method emphasizes repetition, control, and realistic movement (including recoil), helping build strength, coordination, and technical precision in a safe and efficient way. Who Am I: “Student Always, Teacher Sometimes.” This mindset drives my approach to traditional Chinese martial arts. I have spent over 15 years training in Kung Fu and the internal fighting arts, beginning in Southern California with Praying Mantis Kung Fu and Yang Style Tai Chi, then sharpening my foundation in Seattle under Andrew T. Dale through intensive study of Chen Style Tai Chi and Bagua Zhang. In 2007, I relocated to Beijing, China, where I lived and trained for eight years under masters Zhang Wei Dong and Liu Zu Guang, forging real martial skill through disciplined daily practice, conditioning, and partner work. My training there focused heavily on Bagua Zhang, Shuai Jiao (Chinese Wrestling), Da Bei Quan, and the internal mechanics that make Kung Fu functional, powerful, and alive. I became the first foreigner awarded a Shuai Jiao Coach’s Certificate in China, competed in tournaments in China and internationally, and co-founded the Guang Wu Shuai Jiao Association to help carry forward authentic Chinese martial arts. My teaching emphasizes strength, structure, rooting, intent, and practical application—training the body and mind to move with clarity, resilience, and controlled force.
