Michael Schaefer has been training in the martial arts since 1984. His training in the Chinese martial arts began in 1998 under Sifu (teacher) Bryant Fong at San Francisco Wushu, with Tibetan White Crane (Bak Hok Pai), Taiji, and aspects of Northern Shaolin. In 2009 Sifu Bryant took Michael to meet his own White Crane teacher, Sifu Quentin Fong in San Francisco. Sifu Quentin welcomed Michael into his training group, and Michael became his student.
Michael’s background in the martial arts also includes Tracy lineage Kenpo Karate, Capoeira, and Wing Chun Kung Fu. He enjoys sharing the martial arts with others, and approaches both teaching and training with an eye towards a long-term and healthy practice that can become a lifelong pursuit for a new student.
