Episode 6— Sifu Ki Innis, Wing Chun Specialist (part 2)

Continuing my interview with Ki from episode 5, we head straight towards his other passion; Wing Chun martial arts. And we cannot discuss the discipline and philosophy that is Wing Chun unless we give praise to the legendary Bruce Lee, his writings and his contributions to the film industry and its celebrities. As I warned in the previous episode, there's a lot of talk of The Dragon and also a bit of respect given to his successor, Jackie Chan. This is all surrounding how teen angst Ki got into martial arts. However, the guilt of never following through led him "to finding his center" only after his university years. Eventually, he became a disciple of Master Victor Parlati under the lineage of Grandmaster William Cheung. We'd come full circle as we again acknowledge a big shoutout to our mutual Japan friend that helped him build his Wing Chung school in Japan as well as his drawing workshops. And finally, Ki's comments about deciding to live in Japan are quite appropriate for people wondering if this country is right for them. If you are in Tokyo and interested in Wing Chun, Ki is more than happy to let you visit and watch his classes. Search @sifu_ki_innis on Instagram and "Sifu Ki Innis" on Facebook.
