He has witnessed first hand just about everything that can happen in a real world situation and knows what works and doesn’t work in a fight. Sifu Chris Damiano began his Wing Chun training in 1994. Upon watching the demonstration and class he saw the directness, simplicity, practicality, and explosiveness that answered today’s combative problems. Sifu Damiano trained rigorously and over a few years became one of the top students.
Sifu Chris Damiano has met and trained with some of the arts greatest practitioners from around the world. He still regularly goes to the UK, Hong Kong, and China to train with his Kung Fu Brothers and attends seminars and events around the world.
Sifu Chris Damiano started training under the youngest son of Ip Man in Chicago, Grandmaster Ip Ching. He was blown away by the power and speed of a man near 70. From there his training took a very progressive turn. He trained those methods diligently and set out for a "deeper" understanding of the art. Later in that same year Sifu Damiano moved to Destin, Florida and taught privately out of his home.
