Gary Kaiser GOJU /KEMPO KARATE 1967-73 after training about 7 years, I received a black belt (shodan/1st degree) September of 1973, from Samurai school of Karate in Winnipeg.

TIGER CLAW KUNG FU 1970-2000 studied pau kua starting in about 1970ish, spent about 7 or 8 years at a semi classical version of this. I learned in Winnipeg from my first and main teacher, Si-Kung Pat Gallagher of www.tigerclaw.ca

KICKBOXING: trained in this at the same school in different classes, fought quite a few (approximately 70 fights with 2 losses) full contact ring fights through the 1970's/ 80's. Coached and trained a fight team in my own school through to 2000 in Calgary. I became a black sash instructor with Tiger Claw, ran a Calgary franchise, and opened Dragons Den martial arts supply store (now owned and operated by Don Boswell and Kathleen Greenan, www.dragonsden.net) Between the time I started assistant teaching in Winnipeg, to the time I left Calgary to move to Vancouver ( apprx 20 years) I trained somewhere between 10-20,000 students.

TAI CHI CHUAN 1970-2007 Cheng Man Ching version, started training in 1970, also from Si-kung Pat Gallagher, learned the solo form, 2 man set, push hands, narrow blade sword sets, and self defense applications. Over the years I learned a few different long form Yang tai chi sets, part of the Chen style, and some Sun style from various instructors. I was certified as instructor sometime in the late 1970's.

CHI KUNG also called qi gong (energy work) and meditation. Studied mostly Taoist energy work, Buddhist breathing drills, and about 20+ different meditation methods and healing methods. Studied some TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). From about 1980 -2000 I put in a lot of work and research on these topics, both studying and teaching.

WING CHUN KUNG FU I learned the basic sets (first 3) and the wooden dummy set from my younger brother John in the 1980's. Incorporated some of this art into my school, though my skills were not very professional in this art. My training was quite sporadic, as I would only learn from brother John, when I went to visit on my annual holidays. This limited my actual partner training in this art to very little.

WING TSUN KUNG FU 2002-present Started with Sifu Ralph Haenel in Vancouver, just after I turned 50 years of age. It took me over 4 years to get to the first Technician level. I found this art very different from other systems in which I had skills. My personal opinion is that Wing Tsun is essentially a different system, than the wing chun art shown to me by my brother. I continue to train and learn from Ralph.
