My Martial Arts Background


I have been training in the martial arts for over twenty years now. I have experience in Escrima, Shotokan, Tae Kwon Do, Hopkido and Jujitsu. After having obtained black belts in three of these styles, I think that I have found a permanent home in the style Wun Hop Kuen Do, part of the Kajukenbo system. I began my training in Wun Hop Kuen Do under Sifu Al Dacascos in Portland, OR and am currently training in Oakland, CA under Sifu Bill Owens. I also want to give recognition to the other two instructors in this style that have greatly influenced my training; Sifu Earl White and Si-hing Doug Jones. If you are interested in learning Wun Hop Kuen Do you can email me.
