SIFU MANNY MASTRES

I started training in martial arts in 1999 under Josi James Robinson founder and head instructor of runningfist kung fu. I became a Sifu under Josi James Robinson June of 2015 and I am also recognized as a san dan under world warrior alliance at the same time. My interest in martial arts came at a young age watching old Bruce Lee, Jet Lee and Jackie Chan movies. I am currently training under SiKung Kasey Cheung who is also an instructor in Running Fist Kung fu and Intergrated Martial Arts Center.

SIFU KEN WICKLINE

Kenneth started training in 2003 at the age of 42 under Sikung Kasey Cheung. He became interested in the Art and started training because his children were taking classes at the school. After fifteen minutes into his first class (which only included the warm-up) he was exhausted and ready to quit. Kenneth did make it through the class, with the realization he was totally out of shape. Kenneth informed Sikung he didn’t think he could continue, but Sikung encouraged him and told him to try another class as it will only get easier. Kenneth did try another class, but it wasn’t any easier. Since he was overweight and out of shape, he knew this was something he had to do. Kenneth’s feeling was that he would try to attend classes until the summer came and he got into a little better shape. After getting involved and feeling the results of training, Kenneth became more motivated. He looked up to the younger kids in class, who were green belts at the time, and thought if he could achieve some of what they were doing like executing sharp techniques and controlled kicks that would be awesome. His next goal was to get a green belt and stop, but something clicked and he couldn’t get enough Martial Arts. From that point on, he has participated and competed in national seminars and tournaments, taking 1st place in many events. He received his black belt in 2007 and is currently a Nidan. His love of the Arts continues to grow. Through Sikung, he has had many opportunities to learn from other Masters and with Sikung’s support, Kenneth continues to expand his knowledge and arsenal attending other schools. In 2009, Kenneth earned a red sash in Running Fist Kung Fu under Josi James Robinson. His motto has always been “just keep showing up”. He shares his sentiment with everyone telling them whether or not you feel like going, just show up as you will feel better when you are done. That is how he did it. Kenneth constantly studies and is always looking to improve himself. His positive attitude is contagious and has helped many others excel in the Art.

+ Greensboro, North Carolina - Sihing Cequence Henry

Phone: 336-340-0736

Email: Sihing_Henry@runningfist.com

Biography:

My name is Cequence Henry and I am from Greensboro, North Carolina. I’ve been doing martial arts all my life and will continue to do it in the afterlife. At the age of 22 years old I have created and currently teach my own style called “Martial Arts Combatives”or “M.A.C” for short. M.A.C is composed of everything I have learned over the years and basically, what I do is teach my students how to survive. I teach out of the Greensboro Martial Arts Academy which is located at 719 West Gate City boulevard in Greensboro, North Carolina. I never thought I would quit a well paying job to pursue my dream to become the greatest martial artist I can be, but I did just that and plan to make an impact on as many people as possible while on this Earth, through the true spirit of Martial arts. The way I teach martial arts is different from most because I do not follow a traditional guideline. I am a non traditional martial artist which means I teach to influence the way people look at life and how a simple thing such as martial arts can bring confidence, passion, courage, and create leaders and thinkers. I help my students develop an increased sense of awareness. Martial arts is like a dance but the only difference is you get to hit your dance partner. By saying that, martial arts shouldn’t be choreographed, fighting is spontaneous which means you have to train your mind, body and spirit to flow and adapt to whatever life throws at you.
