Dr. John (his name in Chinese means laughing/smiling dragon) has been doing Wing Chun since he was 13. He has a background in many different versions of Kung Fu, some being: Tai Chi, Hung Kuen, Chi Gung (breath/energy work), Seven Star Praying Mantis, PaKua and different versions of Karate, Kali, and some Judo and Western boxing. He has been to both Hong Kong and China to train. Dr. John always felt that as a complete martial artist, you should be able to heal, as well as destroy.
The Wing Chun system was designed for a smaller, weaker person to beat a bigger, stronger person, thus, it is perfect for women. The system was the only "official" style that Bruce Lee learned in Hong Kong. The system is based on body mechanics, neurology, anatomy and physics. It is a thinking person's art and not just crash-and-smash kickboxing style of martial art. In Wing Chun, fighting is very fast, at a very close range and uses the body, arms and legs simultaneously to control, hit and off-balance the opponent, giving them no chance of survival, let alone victory.
Dr. John is also a board member of the International Wing Chun Kung Fu Federation, an organization designed to bring unity and brotherhood to all the different Wing Chun "families."
