History: My prior martial arts training: Kung Fu. My training was under Sifu Wong and Senior Instructor Ravi Subramanium.
Sifu Wong had migrated to India and set up his school in the city of Vadodara. The primary style was Dragon with
heavy usage of kicks, fists and forearms. Although that was the foundation, most of the training was in a mixed version
of various styles of Kung Fu- making it more "street effective". My training with Sifu Wong and Master Ravi Subrananium
was through a period of 8 years- during which I had participated and won numerous contests.
