With kids at home a busy schedule and life always trying to get in the way, I travel from Orlando, Florida 2-3 times a week to train at the Sifu Och Wing Chun Kung Fu Martial Arts Centre in Lakeland Florida. Nothing I have found in Orlando compares to what I have found at Sifu Och’s wing chun, Lakeland FL. The hour to hour 20 minute drive is well worth it, Disney traffic and all! Thank you Sifu Och and all my friends at Wing Chun!!

Before Sifu Och Wing Chun I had no prior martial art experience. My father wanted to ensure that I was capable of defending myself and my loved ones in dire situations. After my mother rained a barrage of emails and phone calls down on Sifu Och, I finally participated in my first class during August of 2007 at 10 years old. My introduction to Sifu Och Wing Chun at a young age forged discipline, perseverance, and humility into my character through bitter hard work and exceptional guidance from Sifu Och. Training under Sifu Och will drastically enhance pertinent skills required to keep yourself, and the ones you love, safe from actors with malicious intentions. I am blessed to have found this Wing Chun school when I did, because unlike most I was spared the trial and error of finding the perfect martial art instructor. The people that I have had the privilege of climbing through the ranks with have unshakable honor and loyalty. I would not trade that Wing Chun family for the world.

I had 28 years training and achieving in Taekwondo, a Master in my own right as a 6th Dan. I was very impressed with Sifu Och’s Now Wing Chun from day one, you will be too. I trained to be able to defend and protect myself and my loved ones. I know you’ll hear the so called EXPERTS and MASTERS talk about how you train to (not fight) whatever that is suppose to mean, but its not reality. Yes you should avoid any and all conflicts but if you can’t avoid them then you should be able to devastate your attacker or attackers with Wing Chun Kung Fu.

Trained Western Boxing under George Yaniger, A.A.U. Golden Gloves champion (Rocky Mountains – 1962-63). Served with ARMY 2nd Ranger Battalion (Ft. Lewis, WA). C Co 2/75 held hand to hand combat and mixed martial arts. I Studied Vee Arnis Jitsu under Shihan Charles Garrity and Sensei Rusty Hunter in Bangor Pennsylvania. After a challenge match with Sifu Och in May 2008, I saw the huge potential in the close range combat techniques of Wing Chun.

After years of private lesson training and sacrifice I have achieved instructor level under Sifu Justin Och. I will continue to train toward the highest levels possible in Wing Chun and learn the entire system under the watchful eye of my Sifu Justin Och.
