Growing up in the cradle of martial arts, I was deeply influenced by its culture, and started leaning Kung Fu since the age of six at the foot of Mount Lushan, next to Shaolin Temple. Through twenty years of hard training under numerous celebrated teachers, I have mastered a number of kung fu techniques: Shaolin traditional routine, stipulations of routines, boxing, long and short weapons, soft weapons, Yijin Jing, and Shaolin hard qigong; and China Folk traditional art Kung Fu -- Dragon Dance and Lion Dance.
Chinese lion dance is divided into North Lion and South Lion, and I have undergone a deeper training in the southern heritage of the Lion Dance. Combined with my root in formal martial arts training, my dances has reached the peak of perfection.
