Sifu Bartell began his martial arts training studying Tae Kwon Do at the age of ten. After moving to Houston in his teens, Sifu Bartell continued through high school exploring other forms of martial arts, including JKD, Muay Thai, and Jujitsu. Being left with a sense of incompleteness and knowing that the roots of JKD were deeply tied to the Ving Tsun Kung Fu system, Sifu Bartell decided to investigate the relationship between the two styles in hopes of obtaining a more comprehensive understanding of what he had learned from training JKD. In early 2002, while attending the University of Texas at Austin, Sifu Bartell was opened up to the Ving Tsun system by Sifu Aaron "Moy 10 Tung" Vyvial. Very quickly Sifu Bartell recognized the potency of Ving Tsun and the inadequacies of his previous training. He, therefore, seized the opportunity to dedicate all his martial art training to Ving Tsun, and consequently, became one of Sifu Vyvial's earliest indoor students. Studying in a constant, focused manner as a special student under Sifu Vyvial and a grand special student under Sigong Moy Tung, Sifu Bartell became the first certified Sifu in the Moy 10 Tung clan.
