On the subject of Bryan’s practice, Sifu Fong shared the following:
“I highly recommend my student Bryan Stoops, one of my instructors in the Wing Chun Association of the USA. When I met Bryan, he was already an accomplished and skilled practitioner of the Filipino Martial Arts, Jun Fan Gung Fu and Silat under Guro Dan Inosanto and in Muay Thai under Ajarn Chai Sirisute.Bryan exhibits excellent discipline, respect, professionalism and skill. He actively pursues continual education in all of the arts by traveling to train personally with all of his instructors. Anyone taking his classes, whether they are young or old, beginners or advanced level students, will benefit from Bryan's knowledge and insight.”
