Sifu Barber has dedicated his life to learning and teaching the ancient Chinese martial art of Tai Shing. He is now a highly trained master, having studied extensively under Sigung Ah Sang for 10 years. During this time, he learned all 6 Monkeys of Tai Shing, which are the core principles that make up the art.

He originally started out training in Tae Kwon Do at 8 years old and won 2 local tournaments before switching over to Atemi Ryu Karate at age 12. He continued refining his skills in Karate and boxing while competing in tournaments throughout the next few years until he met Sigung Ah Sang at 18.

Impressed by the dedication level of his student, Sigung Ah Sang began instructing Sifu Barber in the art of Tai Shing and invited him to train with him so that he could further develop his knowledge of the discipline. For 10 years, Sifu Barber followed Sigung Ah Sang’s teachings and practiced diligently.

As a result, today he is an established master with hundreds of students from around the world learning from him through our online Kung Fu program at Six Monkey Martial Arts website. Through their study with Sifu Barber, students come closer to unlocking their inner warrior as they practice techniques like Monkey Hands, Iron Palm Strikes and advanced Dim Mak training. It is only through training under an experienced master such as himself that one can truly learn these advanced techniques.
