As a teen Kevin ventured into the Kickboxing world and eventually found Kempo Karate. This is when he started his journey as a full time martial arts instructor at the age of 19 years old.

Kevin also spent some time working as an executive protection bodyguard for local political figures. In his free time he started training Shaolin Kung fu,  Filipino Martial Arts (FMA), MMA and started his own martial arts program in the Okotoks area and ran a successful personal training business.

Sifu’s main objective is to help students build confidence in themselves. The Gong Fu mindset is focused on real world self defence and is reflected within the curriculum.
