Starting at the age of 7, Michael joined kung fu as a shy student. Over time, kung fu has provided him with a sense of self-confidence, discipline, strength, and belonging, helping him grow as a person. Michael enjoys learning and perfecting new techniques and skills with different weapons. He has participated in multiple kung fu competitions and has won grand champion and several gold medals. Cherishing every opportunity to teach, he has grown a love for helping others improve their forms and techniques. Michael started teaching in 2024 and wishes to share his love of kung fu with his students. Alongside kung fu, he started learning how to lion dance in 2018 and has enjoyed the chances he has been given to perform for the community as a lion dancer.

Outside of kung fu, Michael enjoys learning new instruments, spending time with his cat, and listening to Christmas music all year round.
