I started studying Martial Arts in 1975 at the young age of 9 years old in the art of Kung-fu (Shaolin 5 animal system) and had earned a Red Sash, Instructor status by the age of 15 by Sifu Chu (YMCA) and won many points style tournaments held in California in the 1980's.
About that time I was searching out other Martial arts systems to study to expand my knowledge and found Dux Ryu Ninjitsu in the San Fernando Valley which I started taking classes and found the system to be very eclectic.
After a few months of training I was not able to attend further because of transportation problems so I set out to study whatever else I was able to find. I received Black belts in Tae Kwon Do & Tang soo do thru Robert James, Student of Chuck Norris & Byong Yu & Goju ryu thru Master Charles Fischer.
Upon the move of the Dux Ninjitsu school to a larger location I was able to start Attending again and this was to be my final destination for which I still continue to train except for the evolution of the system to F.A.S.S.T. which I currently train and have been authorized to teach under Hanshi Frank Dux. My current rank in the system is 7th Degree Black Belt - Renshi
Thru my years of training I have been able to train with some great teachers and styles even though I was never ranked in these systems they include Judo, Aiki-Jiujitsu, Muay Thai & Tjakai Kickboxing, Grappling and CQC.
