HOW DID YOU GET STARTED IN MARTIAL ARTS?

I was raised by a boxer and when I was a younger lived in tough neighborhoods.
When I went to college I started training in Muay Thai, however, I was naturally
aggressive and it was feeding into that aggression. That type aggression is great for
competition fighting, however, I was in college and it really didn’t do much for my
everyday life. Around that time, I was taking guitar lessons and my instructor recom-
mended his Sifu, Grandmaster Eric Lee and they trained at the local park. Kung Fu
was a natural fit for me and gave me the balance I needed, Grandmaster Eric Lee is
very much like a father to me and I remain his loyal student/daughter as I continue
to learn so much from him. It is through my Sifu Lee that I also met his good friend
Grand Master Samuel Kwok who also became my Sifu and I and very much his loyal
student/daughter as well.

HOW MANY STYLES DO YOU KNOW?

I was raised boxing, studied Muay Thai, studied Tae Kwon Do for a bit with Grand-
Master Simon Rhee, Studied Grappeling with Grand Master Gene Lebell, spent all
of my adulthood learning from my Sifu Grand Master Eric Lee, Shoalin Kung Fu,
Jeet Kune Do, Kata and various other styles that my Sifu has learned and continues
to learn. Really at this point I should just say I am a lifelong student of the Grand
Master Eric Lee style, he is truly amazing. I also currently train in Wing Chun with
my Sifu Grand Master Kwok. I absolutely love Wing Chun, it is a very effective style
and Great for any situation.
