In other words\, he has been used as a punching bag for over 30 years by masters and lifelong practitioners of these systems. His lifetime of experience getting kicked\, punched\, choked\, kneed\, elbowed\, and thrown are invaluable in teaching others how not to be.

While he used to compete in both forms and Push-Hands\, Myk now focuses more time on teaching. His teaching style is student-centered and is focused on achieving a balance between the meditative and martial aspects of the forms. Myk also teaches a Tai Chi class specifically geared toward those with mobility and balance issues on Sunday afternoon. \n\n\n\nJoel\, Instructor\n\n\n\nA lifetime student of martial arts\, Joel has been training Shaolin Kung Fu and Tai Chi since 1999 and teaching since 2009.
