Found this old photo of me confronting what I believe was “Optimus’ Primes slightly less successful cousin… Maximum Steve.” Unfortunately he was twice my size and roughly 300% more robotic, which I feel was an unfair tactical advantage. 😅

Just when things were about to escalate into a full-scale Cybertronian incident, a brave little girl stepped in and attempted diplomacy… by inviting the giant robot to a hug.

Honestly, that probably saved my life.
Never underestimate the power of tiny negotiators. 😊

Junior Wing Chun (Ages 9–13)

Our Junior Wing Chun Kung Fu program is designed for families who want their children to grow strong, confident, and self-controlled while genuinely enjoying the process of learning martial arts.

Students are introduced to traditional Wing Chun through structured, age-appropriate training that balances focus and discipline with engaging, hands-on practice. Classes help students build coordination, awareness, and confidence while learning how to stay calm under pressure, follow instruction, and work positively with others.

Training includes skill-based drills, guided partner work, and purposeful challenges that keep students active, motivated, and having fun without the chaos. As students progress, they develop not only physical ability, but also the composure, responsibility, and self-belief that support healthy leadership habits in martial arts, school, and everyday life.

2 day Wing Chun Beginner Seminar next week!

This is designed for people who’ve either
• Never trained before, or
• Always been interested in self-defense or fighting skills but never taken the first step

Dates: January 27th & 29th
Time: 6:50 PM
Location: Roberts Recreation Center
1246 50th Ave N, St. Petersburg, FL 33703

This seminar is beginner-paced and structured — no prior experience needed, and no pressure to perform.
We’ll focus on:
• How Wing Chun works in close range in a controlled, hands-on way
• Building real structure, balance, and coordination from day one
• How training progresses safely toward realistic application over time
If you’ve ever been curious about martial arts but hesitated because you weren’t sure if it was for you. Or worried it might be too intense too fast. This seminar is designed to remove that uncertainty while still being honest about the goal: learning how to fight, step by step.
This is only being taught on these two nights, and space is limited.
If this resonates, drop a comment or message me.
Confidence doesn’t come from avoiding challenge — it comes from being guided through it properly.

Lots of Wing Chun people say “power from the ground,” but almost everyone interprets it backwards.

I just uploaded a short that clears up what this really means in terms of alignment, stability, and short-range power generation.

If you’ve ever felt your structure collapse under pressure or wondered why your punch loses force — this will help you understand why.

Deep within the misty mountains of St Petersburg, rising over Vinoy Park, lies a secret and ancient place of Kung Fu. This hidden sanctuary, known only to a select few, is guarded by the spirits of the legendary Kung Fu masters that trained here before us.

The warriors who practice here are united by their shared passion for Kung Fu, and their dedication to honing their craft to perfection.

In this ancient place of Kung Fu, time seems to stand still, as if the outside world has ceased to exist. But despite its isolation, the sanctuary is not without its dangers. Legends speak of dark forces that lurk in the shadows, waiting to challenge any who would dare to trespass upon this sacred ground.

To gain entry to this secret and ancient place of Kung Fu is to embark on a journey of self-discovery, of intense physical and mental training, and of ultimate enlightenment. It is a place of magic, mystery, and martial arts, where the past and the present merge into one.
The Place we call KUNG-FU HILL
