Sifu Jack’s specialty is certainly Kung Fu as
              he teaches and is familiar with many styles
              of Chinese boxing as well as Filipino Martial
              Arts.


              His teacher GM Wai Lun Choi is a well known
              Kung Fu Grandmaster that holds lineages in
              Hsing Yi Ch’uan , Liu Ho Pa Fa , Pa Kua Chang,
              Mai Jung Lo Hon , Tibetan Lama Kung Fu,
              and Yi Chuan. GM Choi is also the champion
              of the Southeast Asian Hand to Hand Martial
              Arts Full Contact Fighting Championship in
              1971, in Singapore.


              Sifu  Jack  has  also championed  too many
              competitions to name here as he competed
              in the martial arts circuit from 1975 to 2010
              and  has  coached  many  champions  in  tour-
              naments. He is known for training his fight-
              ers to think outside the box doing things in
              a  very  creative  way,  teaching  over  15,000
              students over the years . At a lunch meeting
              with GM Inosanto and Sifu Rich, GM turned
              to Rich grabbing a napkin and stated “ Hey
              Rich, If Sifu Jack was here he would come
              up with a great way of training martial arts
              with this napkin.”  Of course GM Inosanto
              was referring to the creative nature of Sifu
              Jack that he really liked. In 2004 Sifu Jack
              was honored to be inducted into the martial
              arts hall of fame and has taught such nota-
              ble students as Johhny Cage(Danny Pesinia)

              played Donatello in a Teenage Mutant Ninja
