What is a Master?

In education, it takes about 18 years of schooling to achieve a Master's Degree.

Master Tomizaki has been training kung fu for 30 years.

Anyone can earn a Master's Degree if they pay for the education and stick with it. But, the truly elite are recognized by their peers and awarded prizes - e.g. Nobel, Pulitzer, etc.

Sifu has earned 31 First Place finishes in his competition years, and 8 Grand Champions. He has held the title of International 4 Star Grand Champion. So not only did he have to win one event, he had to be the best in forms, long weapon, short weapon and sparring - against top national AND international competitors.

How fortunate we are to be trained by such a talented and awesome teacher. Some people that can do, can't teach. Some people can teach, but can't do. Master Tomizaki is able to do it all.

Sifu in Chinese means Master. He has earned this title - thru his training, teaching and competition. He does more than talk the talk - he walks the walk.
