Muhammad // Age 19 // Wing Chun // March 2020

Congratulations to East Cloud Kungfu’s second Student of the Month, Muhammad!

Muhammad is an extremely dedicated martial artist.  Before coming to East Cloud Kungfu, he studied another lineage of Wing Chun and also Shaolin Kung Fu.  He is devoted to his kung fu brothers and sisters and helping new students learn basic drills. He posts videos on social media encouraging others to train at home and sets a good example for all to follow. He is steadfast in both the physical aspects of training as well as mental. He discusses fitness and conditioning with coach Louis, arrives early to class and stays late for extra training, as well as helping East Cloud by demonstrating his skills during performances.

Thank you Muhammad for being such a valuable part of the East Cloud Kungfu Family. You are truly an admirable and skilled young man.
