Instructor Sihing Daniel B
The Right Way of Things

Sihing Daniel started training with Shaolin Academy early 2005; this being his first martial art school. Starting off with 3 classes a week he quickly progressed to 6, and now trains several classes everyday of the week. He was first drawn to martial arts from video games, but now tasting the real thing, he knows there is no satisfaction training his thumbs on a controller. Being well versed in all 4 curriculums, he enjoys every bit of his training; quickly learning that martial arts will be apart of his life forever.

Sihing Daniels 5th Weapon

As part of Sihing's Weaponry Training, he has chosen The Tiger Trident (left) as his 5th Weapon (each Shaolin student learns Shaolin Staff, Tiger Broad Sword, Red Eagle Spear and Willow Straight Sword after which they choose a 5th weapon before attempting the Weaponry Black Sash) learning to master the bare bow and traditional bows under the eagle eye of Master Erich of Archery in Melbourne Archery Club. As part of this they are developing the first traditional Kung Fu archery form.

Daniels long term goals are to become a specialist black sash in bare hand, weaponry and 170 movements. Develop the Anaconda and learn the Phoenix style of Kung Fu.

His Goals for 2007 are to become a red sash (half way mark to Black Sash) in all 4 curriculums, attend over 1000 classes, successfully build the Anaconda Kwoon and get a permanent teaching class.
