Sifu's Corner, Kung Fu StylesWelcome to another addition of Sifu’s Corner. In this video we talk about what martial art styles we teach.

What is important to understand about us is that our style is the Ngo Dac Na system with influences of Wing Chun, 5 Animals, Tai Chi and Chi ‘ Na.

More importantly we study how energy works with the body.

What that means is that the style of martial arts isn’t as important as how you use the energy within your martial art style.

Watch our video to better understand where we are coming from.

About Sifu Larry Rivera

Sifu Larry has been training in martial arts since he was 5. In his early years his father influenced his martial arts training. He taught him the basics of self defense, guile, military tactics, Judo and Jiu Jitsu. At age 7 his he was enrolled in Goju-Ryu which he trained in until he was 16. He took sometime off, but when he came back he decided he was never quitting martial arts again and at the age of 19 his thoughts on what martial arts was and was not got flipped when he started training with Sifu Phu and learning internal martial arts. Needless to say, he's a lifer and a guy you want on your side.

  • Sifu,

    I have practice tai chi for while and enjoy it a lot. I have always wondering how can you yield in tai chi without compromising your structure. Any information would be helpful. Thank you again for your time.

    Sincerely,
    Angelo

  • I may not have moved too far through the course yet, as this point may be addressed in future, but I am wondering whether some aspects of sparring could be discussed. In particular it seems that the system receives force well and diverts with control an opponents energy, this favours a more rooted stance. But in combat one is moving constantly, monitoring distance and will also attack extending oneself. Can Sifu explain more on practical aspects of combat stance and transitions that he favors according to the principles of Ngo Dac Na.
    Kind regards and thank you.
