"Having been on the street as a Police Officer and then again as a Paramedic, I have been involved in violence for a long time. I have dealt with both bad guys and victims. I understand the psychology of the predator and have had to engagesome physically in the real world. This has allowed me to move beyond what is mere theory for many martial art instructors. I know what a REAL fight is and what happens therein. This allows me to focus what I teach on practical application of Wing Chun. The things I learned as a Police Officer have been truly invaluable to my career as a martial arts instructor."
