Sifu Brett recently travelled to Singapore and met up with Master Eric Lau of Singapore Koon San Athletic Association, to experience Asia and the origin of Chinese Martial Arts. Singapore has become home to many Masters, who left China in order to spread the power and grace of Kung Fu. 

Sifu Brett spent many hours with Master Eric Lau after meeting, to train directly under him in the strong linage of Jow Hip, the 1st brother after Jow Lung, founder and Great-Great Grandmaster of Jow Ga Kung Fu.

The experience of training under these conditions, where the study of Chinese Kung Fu, is not only taken extremely seriously, but tradition and pride are still very real and Kung Fu is still a true and definitive way of life, was and would remain an unforgettable and a truly wonderful experience for Sifu Brett.
