John Kang - Head Instructor
After studying Taiji Quan, northern Shaolin Kung Fu, and Shorinji Kempo, John formally
learned Wing Chun under Sifu Lo Man Kam while living in
Taiwan. At the time, there were many occasions to spar against and learn from
practitioners of Seidokaikan and Shotokan Karate, Tae Kwon Do, Muay Thai, Western boxing,
Aikido, Judo, Sambo, Western wrestling, Jujitsu, Chen and Zheng Taiji, and several other
styles of Kung Fu. After returning to the U.S., he has continued to explore Wing Chun,
learning advanced footwork from Sifu Lo's son, Gorden Lu; fighting drills
from Sifu Duncan Leung and his student Sifu Mike Shea; drills, ideas, and mid-level kicks
from Sifu Akko Nishimura of Francis Fong's lineage; approaches and drills from seminars
with Sifu Randy Williams; and varied use of elbows and knees from Daniel Munkus of Sifu Jim
Lau's lineage. He also studies Internal martial arts with Sifu Johnny Jang in Oakland.
After teaching in the San Francisco Bay Area for four years, John has moved back to Richmond
to open up an acupuncture practice.

Jason Little - Assistant Instructor
Jason Little has a strong background in martial arts, having started in Tae Kwon Do. He has also
practiced Muay Thai, Taiji, and Buddha Hand Wing Chun before learning Wing Chun Kung Fu from John Kang.
He is the best practitioner to come out of the Richmond group so far, with excellent skills in Chi Sao
and application. Despite injuring his foot, he still placed third in heavyweight intermediate sparring
at the 2005 Wong Tournament in Washington, D.C.
Jason leads the Northern Virginia Workgroup. |
