His natural gift as an athlete and his focused dedication has made him one of the most incredibly skilled fighters out there. Zac has a thorough knowledge of Strike fighting & Clinching which comes from years of Muay Thai Kickboxing style training/fighting. Zac is also proficient in many other styles and applications that go with them. To name a few: Shaolin boxing, Wing Chun, Chin Na, Silat, Hung Gar as well as Knife & Stick training. Zac is also proficient in the soft or internal arts such as Tai Chi, Chi Kung and Bagua. He knows the material inside and out and can teach a wide array of empty Hand and Weapon forms from all of these disciplines. Zac has been teaching both private students and assisting for his instructors for many years. Sifu Zac is a true gentleman who knows how to lead by example. He does this by keeping in tip top shape (both mind & body) so he can “BE” the example. A man of many talents Zac works as an electrician during the day, takes great care of his wife and three children, trains in Martial arts and plays music. Sifu Zac still studies from high level masters and maintains an empty cup as expands deeper into the arts.
