MOAMER QAZAFI, MARKETER: "The exerience I've gained from Sifu David Cheng will be with me for a lifetime. His breadth and depth of knowledge in the arts is unique. After a stressful day at the office, it's nice to go in and practice techniques that really help to focus the mind and body. Lots of people know their subject, but are unable to communicate it to students. Aside from being a talented martial artist, David is also a superb instructor."
JOHN TYE, CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL: "With Sifu Cheng's help, I noticed immediate improvement in my physical conditioning and my technique. My strength and accuracy has also improved. I highly recommend his class to anyone interested in learning practical self-defense."
ERIC JUE, MANAGER: "David is excellent at explaining Jeet Kune Do (JKD) principles and attacks. He continues to grow in his understanding of the martial arts by training with instructors from different disciplines. I have benefited from learning some of the finer points of the JKD art. I am also more confident in my ability to defend my family and myself. I recommend his school without reservation if you want to be part of Bruce Lee's legacy."
JEFF R. NG, INSURANCE AGENT: "I wanted to write to you to THANK YOU for your outstanding martial arts JKD/KALI instructions. Since I have been training with you for the past 3 years, I have seen a tremendous improvement in my energy level, stamina and overall health. I appreciate you sticking to the original teachings of Bruce Lee, via your personal training with Chris Kent. The JKD philosophy, with various points of attack, methods of closing the distance, trapping, grappling, etc., have all been very practical and applicable in real life situations. I look forward to a lifetime commitment of working out and training in the art of JKD under your guidance. Keep up the good work!"
ERIC TAKAMINE, COLLEGE INSTRUCTOR: "Sifu David Cheng is very knowledgeable in the different aspects of JKD/Kali. He stays true to the styles while he emphasizes the pragmatic elements of each move. Each class is informative and enjoyable. Besides enabling students to participate in challenging workouts, his careful guidance and interaction help students to improve. His patience, enouragement, and admonishment allow the JKD/Kali styles to continue."
ANDREW KIM, ATTORNEY: "If you're truly committed to learning JKD, David's class is the answer. He provides clear and practical instruction, encourages his students, and brings a wealth of martial arts knowledge to the table. David is an excellent teacher."
