Sifu Myers offers two major paths of progression: Traditional Combatives (Gung Fu) and Combat Sports (Boxing, Kickboxing & Sanda). Sifu Myers is founder of the Kung Fu style Choy Lee Chun, a fusion of Choy Lee Fut, Jeet Kune Do and Wing Chun.
The combination of Choy Lee Fut, being a longfist Kung Fu, Wing Chun being a shortfist Kung Fu, along with Jeet Kune Do which includes elements of Western Boxing and Karate gives the practitioner a full range of techniques to work with, and ways to adapt to various opponents' style's & body types, making the art one of the most evolved on the planet.
Sifu teaches Choy Lee Chun over the course of 7 Animal Stages where the student will have a particular focus. Tests are given at the end of each stage to gauge the student's ability, and sashes are awarded upon passing.
Those training in Combat Sports fall into 3 main categories: Cardio Fitness, Combatives (technique mastery), and Competition.
In addition, Sifu offers Combatives Tai Chi which is a slower, meditative form of Choy Lee Chun. The focus is to build internal strength, increase balance, circulation & bone density.
As stand alone courses Sifu offers: "Self-Defense Seminar", "Self-Defense Program", "Jeet Kune Do Practitioner Program" and "Jeet Kune Do Instructorship".
