The Instructor

Traumatized by an assault incident In his early teens in Hong Kong, Frank started to seek a way to protect himself and look into the realm of martial arts. He started training in Wing Tsun (a branch of Wing Chun in Yip Man’s lineage) under Sifu Yiu-Ming Tam (the founder of Wing Tjun Kung Fu Academy in the UK) for his hand techniques, and ITF Taekwondo under Master Kenny Wu for kicking skills simultaneously in 1993. A decade later, he came across Filipino Martial Arts and learned from Guro Gary Ma in fighting with sticks and daggers. Within a few years, he became a member of Team Hong Kong to fight in the WEKAF(World Eskrima Kali Arnis Federation) World Championships 2006. A year after his immigration to the USA, Frank started training under Jeet Kune Do Master the late Richard Bustillo in 2011.

Driven by great curiosity, Frank made brief exposure across various martial arts during his days in Hong Kong: Muay Thai, Boxing, Judo, Systema, Capoeira, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. While during the days when he was trained under Richard Bustillo, Frank developed his boxing skills and further solidify his foundation in other martial arts skills with the knowledge he carried from Hong Kong.

Frank began his martial arts teaching at a children's center in 2016, with Wing Chun as the core of his curriculum and other martial arts skills that Frank possesses as the supplementary. His approach is interpreting Wing Chun in the contemporary context by comparing and juxtaposing it with other martial arts, and connecting its techniques to our daily natural motions, in order to bring out the fullest of the art’s practicality.
