After achieving his Blackbelt in Go Ju Ryu Karate, he travel to Korea while in the military. It was here that Sifu James became a student of Shaolin Monk, Sung Lee (Xiong Li) who had fled communist China for Korea.
Sifu Lee taught the Wing Chun system from the true Shaolin Temple as well as the Yip Man system from Moy Yat (The student with the most time with Yip Man) along side the array of Shaolin Gung Fu systems. After completing his training under Sifu Lee, Sifu James returned home to America and opened his Temple Of Gung Fu to the public in the 1980's.
During this time he broadened his training and studied with legends such as Dan Inosanto (Bruce Lee's well known student and successor) Sifu Francis Fong (Wing Chun Expert and Legend) Ajarn (Master) Chai Sirisute from Thai Land (Muay Thai) and the Legendary Gracie Family (Brazillian Jiu Jitsu).
